Investment Q&A

Q: Would the news "Fisker Partnering with iPhone Supplier Foxconn on New EV" is bad to Magna? Because Magna already signed an agreement with Fisker to help it build Ocean SUV. Is there any connection between this two news? How will Magna be affected here? thank you!

Q: Some time back I was looking at buying either Linamar or Magna. Sadly, I went with Linamar. It has gone up, but no where like Magna. At this point, the outlook for Magna still seems very positive; where does Linamar go from here? I feel like I missed the boat on Magna, or would a switch still be a good idea? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Besides the above company is there any other plays for EV or autonomous driving?

Perhaps charging components, chips, cameras or something else?

I'm open to US or Canadian company's. I have a long term out look and high risk tolerance.

Thank you.

Q: Hello

Our US holdings are up 36.25%, where as our Canadian holdings are only up 17.22%.
The five mentioned above are our only real shining stars at this point.
Is one better to have all US holdings and forget Canada?
Thank you
Mike

Q: thoughts on the magna quarter please?

Q: Going through all your portfolios looking for a high(er) growth stock with a dividend >1 that I don't already own. Can you please rate the following on a scale of 1-10 (1 being low) for both growth and risk over the next 12-18 months: MG, SLF, PKI, TFI, CCL, PLC, GSY, OTEX. (I note that all but SLF are currently rated 'strong buy'.) And if you have two clear favourites in the preceding list, I would appreciate those being noted separately. Thank you.

Q: Trying to get closer to 30 stocks in portfolio from 42. Which one from communication and one from consumer cyclical might you sell first? Thanks

Q: I currently own BYD and DOL and would like to add 2 more stocks to this sector, which one of DOO, GOOS,MG and LNF would you add today?

I am also need to increase my US holding so can recommend a ETF in this sector as well on the US and Cdn $ ?

Thanks

Q: Thanks for the great service. I feel like I have become too heavy on tech and healthcare and not well-diversified globally. Can you suggest some small and large caps that you would buy today?

Q: Peter; Did u listen to the conf call yesterday - seems no one liked it by today’s drop- or just a general market weakness? Thanks,
Rod

Q: Can you suggest good entry points for the following stocks? Looking to enter these and if this is the start of a correction, this may be my opportunity.

How would you rank them from best to least? SHOP, MG, NTR?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Morning TEAM 5i. After reading Ryan's piece, I find myself wondering when the next market pull-back will happen and just how deep it will be. I agree with his thesis that many of these 'bubble stocks' will pay the price of lacking real fundamental value. It reminded me that perhaps I should rebuild, for lack of a better term, the 'Core' part of my portfolio. I'm considering the companies indicated above and wondering if you also would consider them "Core Holdings'. (Core, being companies that are fundamentally sound, pay a bit of a dividend and should survive a sizeable correction in the market). Also, if you think I'm missing any companies I would appreciate it if you would suggest them. As always, I look forward to your much appreciated guidance.

Q: I am looking at putting together a portfolio of set-&-forget Canadian dividend-paying stocks, in what will be my only unregistered account, making up about 30% of our overall portfolio. The registered accounts (70% of portfolio) are now all in mixes of VGRO, VBAL and XAW.
My emphasis is on stable large cap companies, with a sprinkling of smaller cap, low beta, decent and growing dividends. I expect to draw down the capital at 6 - 7% per year (in addition to the dividends). Beyond the drawdown, capital preservation is secondary to the income.
What are your thoughts on the following mix? Additions/deletions?
Communication: BCE, T
Consumer Discretionary: CTC.A, LNF
Consumer Staples: NWC, PBH
Financials: BNS, TD, SLF
Industrials: SIS
Materials: SJ
Real Estate: CRT.UN
Energy & Utilities: ENB, AQN, FTS, ACO.X, BEP.UN (or BEPC)
My other thought is 100% CDZ but I'm not very impressed with the historical returns and the (relatively) high MER.
Thanks. Lotar.

Q: Good morning, I know you like Magna alot, but would you say it would be a good company to buy and forget and good sleep at night stock for the next five years or so, thanks?

Q: Knowing the future is leaning more toward electric vehicles, can you give me some companies that might be worth looking at? Also can you put them in order of most likely to succeed? Thanks

Q: comments on mg

Q: Hi, could you please provide a list of your highest conviction Canadian growth stocks. Any sector will do but the stocks you feel most certain will deliver good growth in most market environments. Not necessarily looking to blow the lights out, steady growth will do. Thanks.

Q: Some help for Paul asking for ideas to invest in his TFSA. In February (13)?, 2017, 5i answered a request for the top 10 picks harvested from the 5i portfolios. They were as follows: GSY, SHOP, SLF, WSP, GUD, OTEX, SIS, KXS, PBH, and one other I lost track of. Over the 4 years the return, if still held, would be +280%, but even without SHOP or GUD, the return is a respectable +96%. So for Paul and me would you do it again from current portfolio holdings. My New Years resolution is to pay more attention to your picks...........thx. Lionel

Q: Both have moved up well recently. Do you have a preference for one over the other. Please comment specifically on LNR, on it's auto related and other divisions.

Q: Hello, i have made some great gains since March on my Linamar shares. Thinking of selling and buying Magna? Thoughts?
