Q: Hi 5i!
Piggy backing off one of my last questions on building a solid portfolio from scratch through diversification et al(THANK YOU!). Knowing you can’t get personal; looking for some mid to long term hold recommendations (either US or CA) in the following sectors with growth upside in mind as I have significant cash (250K+) sitting in my RRSP doing nothing. I am currently quite top heavy in Tech – and own the above in registered and non-registered accounts.

If you have several recos for a sector, can you please rank in order of preference. Additionally, if there is a sector that can be put to the side with the idea of prioritizing others, I would be keen to know. Also open to add ETF's to represent a sector. As always, thanks a million. I love your service.

• Consumer Staples
• Healthcare
• Industrials
• Communications
• Energy
• Real Estate
• Utilities
• Materials

Q: 1. There has been a lot of insider selling the last few months, and their Q3 sales have missed expectations. Any concerns about buying ATD now?
2. Short term assets do not cover both short term liabilities or long term liabilities. Any concern about buying ATD now?
3. They have lost low end customer loyalty last quarter. Do they have plans to increase sales? Any concerns about buying ATD now?

Q: Hi team. I'm ok with some risk and am 100% equities with an average 13% return per year over 10 years thanks to your team!!

Now my question. We sold an investment property with the plan to use the money to fund a new investment property which will be built in 3 years...so this is my time frame. The money will be split between a TFSA & a taxable account, with the taxable account having about 75%.

What do you think if these for the TFSA - CSU, BN, SHOP and DOL?

These for the taxable - WSP, ENB, TFII, DSG, BNS, SU, ATD, BEPC, H, and a little more DOL?

Would you reorganize these between the 2 accounts? Alternatively, would you choose something else due to the timeframe?

Thanks a lot!

Q: Hi 5i,

Thanks as always for your incredible insight on all things investments. My questions revolve around Dividends.

I am new to the world of Dividends and to date I only own one Dividend paying stock (ATD); and would like to add several others as a means to diversify my investment portfolio. Hopefully I am not too late to the game. I am 50 and looking for long term investment.

I have taken a look at your Income Growth portfolio but if I am being honest, I don't know where to start. Knowing you cannot personalize recommendations - hoping you can at least offer solid guidance.

Can you please share you favorite 5-10 (CA or US) and rank starting with the best. Would appreciate dividend stocks which offer diversification across sectors if possible. Any best practices you could offer in this area (TFSA vs RRSP vs LIRA etc.); I would be most grateful for as well. Thank you in advance!

Q: Can you please list in order your top 5 Canadian and top 5 US stocks in order based on conviction? Please also list a management rating, 10 being the highest.
Time frame 5+ years
Thanks

Q: Hi,
In the 5i BE model portfolio ATD is listed as being in the sector "C. Non-Cyc", however in the 5i company profile page ATD is listed as being in the sector "Consumer Discretionary". Which sector is ATD considered a part of?

Also, can you give me some ideas in the consumer staples category (Canada)?

Q: a sunlife life insurance policy was purchased for grandchildren as an investment for them on the advice of a financial planner- I am embarrassed to say so far $9000 in annual premiums has been paid, with 11 more remaining before the policy is paid in full. If I cancel this policy it will be a loss. However; the dollars which would have gone to sunlife could be used for a better investment. Your suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you- (P.S.- I submitted this ? a moment ago-but my screen went black so I don't no if the ? was sent the first time)

Q: What 5-10 core stocks would you buy today in a new portfolio, in both CAD and USD.

Q: Hello,
I have owned these 3 stocks for a few years now and doing some portfolio cleanup and wondering if still worth holding - long term. I don’t trade. Can you please briefly comment on their potential individually and if some should be sold, in what order in your opinion. Thank you.

Q: I would like to buy ATD (as 5i's stated: it is a great name at a discount price), and have long appreciated its growth trajectory and management seems very astute. However, in order to buy, I would need to sell something and since I am overweight Industrials, the name I come up with in my holdings is WSP. Which of the two names would you favour for a 5 year hold? My hesitation is what I understand to be a growing industrialization in Can and the US favouring WSP. Thoughts on this switch?

Q: Hi 5i, Any concern over:

"After a career spent working on takeovers around the world, former Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. chief financial officer Claude Tessier is joining investment bank Greenhill & Co. to advise Canadian companies with global ambitions."

Seems market opined today, should we be worried. Thx.
