Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Recently President Xi gave a speech indicating the intention to open up the Chinese economy, including " lowering tariffs for autos and other products and enforcing the legal intellectual property of foreign firms".These are things the Trump administration is seeking. Also in a recent dinner talk David MacNaughton indicated pressure from American farmers to reach a resolution.

Have you any thoughts on the possibility of the trade dispute being resolved and which of the 5i stocks would respond most positively?

Q: I have $20,000 to invest outside of an RRSP/TSFA/RESP. looking at a 3-5 year timeline. Obviously tax is a consideration so would assume a couple of decent Canadian dividend paying stocks would fit the bill. I'm 20 years from retirement. I would look to buy 1/3 positions now and see if the market bottoms before I dive right in.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts/insight

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan,

I was holding off buying MG and NFI because of NAFTA disagreements. Now that it is a done deal is it a good time to buy these stocks or future recession may have a bigger impact on the auto sector. They are trading close to 52 week low. Magna has dropped by almost $10 since July.
Appreciate your advice.

Thanks

Q: I am modeling a portfolio after your balanced portfolio (with the occasional stock from your growth portfolio as a replacement) and already hold your other suggestions in the industrial and consumer area. Looking at adding one of the above 4 stocks this week. (DOO would be in place of MG if chosen). What would be your suggestion and why? Thanks!

Q: There is only cash available in a LIRA, aka no cash in a non-registered account or TFSA.
At the same time, I would like to invest in three new positions - MG, TFII and WSP for a balanced portfolio. I have read in the past 5iR thought it preferable to hold MG in a non-registered account because of the cyclicality of the business but that if held in a registered account, then might want to trade around the cycles. I would like your take of holding these three companies in a LIRA that will start to be drawn down in about 2 years but will span, hopefully with good ageing, many years.....Thanks....Tom
