Investment Q&A

Q: Thank you 5i for your excellent service!!!

I have divided up my portfolio into thirds.
One third is a diverse group of ETFs.
One third is cash and a group fluid group of stocks made up primarily from stocks you recommend. SJ, CCL, SIS, KXS... etc.
One third is made up of the seven stocks listed above. Do you have any concerns about any of these being a long term hold. I know Magna is cyclical but is that a concern?
Cheers,
Bryan

Q: Hi teams
may I have your opinion on BTO,CEE,CUF.UN ATD.B please. Is it time to sell or keep them for more growth?
thank you
JOHN.

Q: Good morning team, Your thoughts pls. on ATD.B's Q4 results.
Thanks!

Q: Is there a stock right now that you would recommend more than ATD.B in the consumer sector? I am considering buying more on this dip, unless there is something you like better? Thanks, Neil

Q: Question 1:Pki has a 5% yield while atd.b is minimal, would atd.b grow significantly enough to overcome the yield difference. If you had to choose one over the other which one would it be? Do you think atd.b will have to do a financing soon?
Question 2: Have you heard of BUS-X Grande West transportation, if so what are your thought on this company, is it likely to be a baby nfi?
Thank you
Lynda

Q: I noticed that ATD.B made an acquisition today for various fuel stations. I was going to ask what your team thought of the deal, but I noticed that "the parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price for this acquisition". How is this even possible for a publicly traded company?

Q: Portfolio weighting a aside. For a young investor if you were topping up two of these, which two would you choose? Cheers

Q: I purchased ATD.A (multiple voting shares) not realizing there are differing options. As a retail investor, is there an advantage to purchasing the class A vs. class B?

Q: I find your answer to the question on couche tard being down the last 2 weeks off the mark.
If they make another purchase and have to do a fund raise would not that be a good thing-- accreditive to earnings, cut costs etc etc, is not that the way couche tard became so successful in the first place.
What am i missing. Dave

Q: What is happening with Couche-Tard. Seems to be losing value continually...

Q: Hi , if Britain leaves , will the "market" perceive it as a negative to ATD.B
- would it make more sense to sit on the sidelines for June , or maybe scale in on dips

Thanks,
David

Q: I have some money that I will be putting into an RESP for my children: while it is roughly 0.5%-0.75% of my actual total investment portfolio, I would prefer to avoid more volatile companies in this particular account. I do have a long time horizon (about 6 years before I start to have any demand for the money), but have been burnt before in this particular portfolio by trying to "hit a home run" with an investment play, and am looking for slow, steady growth.

I have listed three companies above, with ATD.B as my first pick as I only have roughly a 2% overall exposure (between all of my collective accounts) to the Consumer Staples group (I assume that ATD.B would be under Staples rather than Discretionary). If you would recommend something else in this space, or another sector, rather than the companies I have mentioned, I would be most grateful for the suggestion. In any event, I look forward to your thoughts. Thanks so much!

Q: Is this a good entry point for Alimentation Couche Tard? Thank you

Q: you seem to get a question on couche tard everytime it declines, and i know it is one of your favorites.
so is the recent decline due to sector rotation, cdn dollar strength, margins on gas etc or what.
i would think with the recent purchse of esso stations in mtl, possible bidding on valero and loblaws stations the stock would be rising, also most targets are in the 70 dollar range. dave

Q: When I look at the last 10 years of Cineplex data, I see a plodding yearly price increase without any particularly exciting price swings, a continuous series of modest quarterly profits with few exceptions, a series of fairly regular dividend increases - in a word DULL!

Do you think that they'll continue to be similarly dull? Can you point me to 4 or 5 companies that might be similarly dull over the next 3 to 5 years? I could use some dull (other than financials, where I'm a bit over-weight) to add to my portfolio.

Thanks.

Q: Hi
If you could only buy five out of the six above listed stocks at today's prices (for the long term), which stock would you NOT purchase?

Q: I hold a small position in L currently up 53% and am in a position to double it or add ATD.B to my well diversified portfolio. My focus is dividends with some growth. What is your recommendation at this time?

Thank you for your valued opinion.

Q: Peter, I'm looking to invest in one of the three companies above. I won't need to touch the investment for 5 - 10 years, and I would be content with an average annual return of 6 percent (including dividends). Please rank these three in order, based on the combined criteria of capital preservation and the goal of achieving the hoped-for 6% or better. (My portfolio is otherwise diversified.) Thank you.

Q: I'm looking for Canadian consumer stocks. Any suggestions?

Q: What's a better bargain right now BOS or ATD.b
