Investment Q&A

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

Q: Which of the above names would you be comfortable adding to today? Of those, what would be the priority order for additions? Finally, are there a couple of other names you would see as strong buy candidates to throw into this mix that are trading at attractive levels today?

Thank you!

Q: ATD was listed as consumer defensive before on the TSX as well as Balanced portfolio. It has since changed to consumer cyclical. Not a major concern, but I try to balance things out in line with Portfolio Analytics.

Should I be considering ATD as a cyclical and add some consumer Defensive?
I have PBH already, so I am not sure what would be best to add in this sector.

Lastly, have you thought about allowing Sector Allocations and International Sectors to be adjustable with Analytics.

Thanks.

Q: I was planning on growing my position in these companies during 2022 in my TFSA account. Is there any of these companies you wouldn't invest in or replace for an other company (please indicate witch company you would replace it by).

Also can you say in what order you would rank these companies from highest to lowest, highest being you favourite and lowest least favourite?

Q: I want to initiate positions in my unregistered investment account, but if I buy all 8 above stocks, each position would be extremely small. (But that is still an option.) Considering thoughts on inflation and interest rates, could you put these in order of priority for purchase now. These positions would primarily be for safety, with a bit of income, which is non-essential, and some growth, which is also not essential. Just looking for your confidence level of these as companies for the longish term.

Q: Hi 5i,
I’m in the process of rebalancing my RRSP and TFSA and looking to be greedy while others are fearful.
Specifically moving TD, FTS, T, and LNF to an RRSP so that my TFSA can be growth oriented.
My remaining TFSA positions would be as follows:
- Half Positions: NVEI, EGLX, LSPD, WELL, U, APPS, BAM.A, SIS, DND, BYD, MITK
- Full Positions: GSY, TOI, CRWD, ATZ

I am planning to deploy as follows:
- Complete existing positions: NVEI, LSPD, APPS, U
- New Partial Positions: AT, XYL
- New Full Positions: DOL, SHOP, VEEV, ANRG, ATD, TIXT
Would you swap out anything on this list that would better compliment my existing positions? I have a 10+ year horizon so I’m leaning towards aggressiveness.

Thanks!

Q: Good morning,
Tax loss selling season has arrived and looking at my non registered portfolio I see that PKI is significantly below my purchase price and while I still like PKI for the long term, it is a candidate for tax loss selling this year. I would appreciate your thoughts on:
Q1. Selling PKI and replacing this holding with ATD
Q2. Selling PKI and purchasing ATD as a proxy until I'm able to repurchase PKI in 30 days.
Q3. Recommending another stock or ETF to purchase following the sale of PKI
I thank you and look forward to your thoughts and sage advice.

Q: Hi 5i,
What is your opinion on Alimentation vs. Parkland? Over the last couple years I’ve held in the hopes it might turn out to be a ‘baby ATD.B’. Is this a case where an investor should pay up for the quality proven business?

Thank you!
