Q: Hello,

I have some cash in my TFSA, and I am interested in buying a stock with good growth in capital and dividend appreciation. I am a long term investor.

Currently in my TFSA, I have FAP, CHW, NEPT, PHO, SIS and S.

I am looking at TWM, Tidewater Midstream and Infrastructure.

What do you think of TWM? Or do you have a better recommendation?

Thank you very much.
Marc

Q: Happy New Year to the entire 5i team. Currently I have what I consider to be a well balanced portfolio based primarily on your balanced portfolio. I have $50,000 to invest in my TFSA. I would like to invest in Canadian companies that are relatively safe yet offer solid growth opportunities now and in the future. I have chosen the above companies. Please rank them for me and can you think of others I should add or any I should leave out?

Q: Happy New Year, and all the best of 2018.
Our granddaughter is 18 months old. Currently her RESP consists of 64% WN.PR.C and 33% XDIV. I was considering adding XDUH, the hedged version of the above fund, for both growth and income, with this year's total contribution. For direct growth, would it be wise to split this year's contribution between XDUH and SIS, given that all of these investments I make on her behalf are extremely long term holds.

Thanks again. Susan

Q: Good day...Your service and advise has done us well for our tenure with 5i...my question is we have 1600 shares of SIS that is house money at ACB of $6.06 does it make sense to add to this stock or better to hold as is....we have taken profits all along and invested in other balanced stocks and it now represents about a 2% of our total portfolio ...we have the cash to add to this but do not think it makes sense as we gain about 3 times at current ACB...thanks for helping...gene

Q: I have held PKI for some time now and it has not moved. It pays a dividend but can you suggest something that has more immediate growth plus pays an okay dividend? I already have Atlasgas, Enbridge and High Arctic in my portfolio.
Thanks

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan and company!

First off, congratulations on the Balanced Portfolio once again beating the TSX Index! Not an easy feat, since typically most paid money managers cannot.

Looking at 2018, with the U.S. tax reform Bill likely becoming a law today, what stocks covered by 5i benefit from a lower U.S. corporate tax rate and immediate expensing of capital purchases?

Happy Holidays to you and your family,
Angelo

Q: Hi 5i team. I'm looking to distribute some of my mj profits. Do you still like sis. It's had a pretty good run lately. Are there other companies you like more. I still have mj investments so something a little safer but still with growth potential. I'm still 10yrs from retirement so time isn't that important. Thanks.

Q: Hello Santa

For my TFSA contribution in 2018 would you suggest KXS or SIS? I do hold a 5% position in SIS in my cash account but am not concerned about an overweighting if the better value, safety and prospects for SIS outweighs those of KXS.

Merry Christmas to all your staff and elves. I value your help.

Peter

Q: I am investing the 52000 plus whatever the amount is for 2018 in my wife's TFSA. With a 10-15 year time-frame might I be considering a couple of quality ETF's or would you advise the purchase of 5 or 6 quality stocks? What might you suggest to consider? She does like the Dollarama idea which you recently recommended. Also would you recommend holding off until the new year to get the ball rolling or invest now? Thanks

Q: Hi 5iResearch Team,
I have finally decided to give up my full position on ZCL and was wondering if you can recommend something regardless of sector/industry, to take its place. Preferably I would like something with a dividend but it is not a must. As always, good works guys.
Cheers,

Q: My 20 year old contributed $21k to his TFSA in July, purchasing roughly equal amounts of KXS, PHO, SIS, TOY and PUR. He just sold his PUR shares and now has about 26% of his now $27.6k portfolio in cash. KXS represents about 14% of his portfolio (down approx. 8% from July), PHO 20%/+33%; SIS 17%/+14% and TOY 23%/+43%. Are there one or two names you could suggest to add to his portfolio? Or would he better off maybe topping up a couple of his current holdings (KXS? SIS?). This is for a long term hold. Love your service. Thanks.
