Q: I'm writing to follow up on your response to Josh's questions regarding beaten-down Canadian stocks.
Would you kindly rank your preferred order of purchases among the names discussed? Are there any that you would consider "table-pounding" buys at current levels?
Please also include your thoughts on CNQ, as well as FOUR, ROAD, and CLBT.
Q: In my TFSA I hold 25 diversified stocks. I am considering increasing two of the these three stocks to full position (ATRL, NTR or MG) for 2+ years hold. Which two would you suggest?
Thanks
Q: I have taken significant losses on a Magna holding over the years - it vulnerability is unfortunate as it has been a historically successful company and model even when the sector wasn’t.
Do you think it is worth continuing to hold and is it an appropriate time for tax loss harvesting?
Q: Currently hold PBH and considering selling. Know you recently rated as a hold for the three year period. For a better total return,over the next three years, would you sell PBH and buy one of ATH, CJT, MG, NPI, NXR.UN, TCL.A, or VHI. Please rank these stocks for purchasing. Thanks
Current earnings/cash flow seem to cover the dividend quite well, and buybacks could always be stopped/reduced if needed to maintain the dividend.
Even if it takes a few years for the auto industry to recover, Magna’s over 5% dividend yield at least pays us to be patient (assuming Magna can adapt to whatever the future of the auto industry looks like)?
Q: Perhaps am looking for unicorns. I have some money to deploy and I am looking for companies that have the balance sheet to ride out the current situation whether it lasts another two months or >12 months. My basic criteria were those potentially undervalued, dividend over 3%, div growth of at least 5% and a decent payout ratio. Any suggestions appreciated, thanks for your help.
Q: I believe Trump is bluffing about tariffs on Canada, especially tariffs on auto industry.
Even if enacted, they will be removed shortly.
What companies ie stocks would you see as especially poised to move up?
Please list them from most upside potential to least, please add others if applicable
Q: BCE and MG are mine losers and I want to sell one. Please advise which one would you let go or do you still think I should hold both of them and why
Q: Hello 5i team,
The MG price has gone below my entry price and I was thinking of adding to it. The stock has not moved very much in light of the tariff threat. Since this is probably already priced in, I was wondering how much business MG does in the states? If I recall MG's sales are mostly global. The price not moving much, tells me that the US portion of MG is not that material.
Are you still comfortable adding at these prices or is MG more of a hold until the dust settles?
Q: Presuming that the price of steel goes up with tariffs, outside of the steel industry itself, what sectors and specific companies lose out here? Thank-you.
Q: Good morning - can you give us a sense as to what Cdn companies (say 10) that would be most adversely affected by a tariff war with the US? Many thanks as always.
Q: I am wondering if I should exit a small position in MG that I have in a registered account. It is trading near it's low and it pays a decent dividend. I am not sure that the dividend is safe and I am worried about the Trump affect on the auto industry. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ian
Q: A recent analysis from Queen's University points out that consumers could see the prices of goods and services drop by up to 14.5% if free trade between the provinces were to be achieved. Which Canadian companies would benefit the most from elimination of interprovincial trade barriers?
Q: Good day. I’ve been holding my stocks for just over 3 years without much adding subtracting and balancing. I have a few stocks that have declined quite a bit over that time. I think it’s time to sell a few of my losers and reinvest in better companies. The two equities in question are in a RRIF account. Magna is down 53% and CSW.B is down 31%. Each represents about 1% of my portfolio. Do these companies have a hope over the next 12 months or should I sell and move on. Can you recommend a replacement equity to purchase with the proceeds. Thanks
