Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Team:

My 21 year old son is looking to invest his $5,500 2017 TFSA contribution into 2 growth stocks. Which 2 would be top of your list today given his young age and long time horizon.

Many thanks

Scott

Q: hello 5i I am repositioning my TFSA and my wife's,the total amount is 80,000 can you suggest stocks and weighting

Q: Hi 5 I Team

What are your favorite stocks right now for new money in two existing TFSA accounts disregarding current portfolio assets.
Thanks Maurice

Q: Would these be your top two picks for growth without undue risk? What is your current estimate of 2017 and 2018 p/e for each of them?

Q: I was thinking of buying these three stocks for my wife's portfolio (non-registered) - each would be a small position vs the overall size of her portfolio & represent diversification from the big blue chips she owns that pay & increase dividends on a regular basis. As well, they represent industries she currently is not in. All rated a B - so, wonder about risk? Long -term holds.

Q: I currently hold these stocks in my TFSA. I want to max out my TFSA account for 2017. I have equal positions in all. Would you recommend to add to the exiting stocks or add a new stock(s) like SHOP, TOY, or KXS. Current holding are in the six figures. Thanks for your input.

Q: Good morning,
I have half a position in Savaria and am looking to make this a full position. My question is regarding the outlook of growth in 2017. They have indicated that 60% of their business is in US. In this new protectionist environment in US, do you have any concerns here?

Q: Whats going on with savaria it just keeps going down.

Q: Starting a TFSA and have narrowed down a larger list of 10-12 stocks to these four. Still doing research on each of these, but I was wondering if you thought this was a good mix for a TFSA, while adding different sectors as the years progress.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: I'm currently holding positions of about $1000 each in my 16 month old daughters RESP for SHOP, GUD, PBH, and TOY.

I'll have enough to purchase a couple new positions shortly. I was thinking about KXS, and SIS, but wanted input as to whether this is a good plan with regards to sector weighting etc.

Thanks!

Q: Plan adding medical for a better balanced portfolio, what opinion do you have of Savaria SIS
Thanks, John

Q: Since Trump's victory markets have reached new highs including the financials on both sides of the border.Note that 5I has been relatively quiet.Yet many stocks including the aforementioned but not limited to,have fallen quite a lot(some more than others.The primary reason could be rotation to other sectors.If co. specific,please advise.Please advise if it is time to start buying them,& if possible list them according to your preference.Appreciate your usual great advices & services

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,

If you could only own shares of one company, which would you choose Savaria (SIS) or CRH Medical (CRH). Why ?

As always keep up the great work !!

Q: Hello. I have a 31-year old son who I've been investing on behalf of for the past two years. Since he started earning a regular income, he has loyally saved and invested in his TFSA (up to the maximum allowance) and started to make some contribution to his RRSP as well.

In his TFSA, he has three stocks (TD, AQN, ECI) and other Canadian and US ETFs (VFV, XIU, XEG, ZLB, XQQ, VEF). Now, given the fact that he has some time before retirement, my new plan is to sell ECI, AQN, or possibly BOTH to buy into more growth-oriented stocks. Do you think my new strategy makes sense? Should I sell ECI, AQN or both or none?

In my mind, there are several stocks that fit into a long term growth strategy. These include SIS, PBH, ATD.B, KXS. If you can think of a better one, please let me know. Your advice is very much appreicated. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

Q: Good day to Pete and Ryan,

A few questions:

1. Does SIS SYZ and ET offer dividend reinvestment plans? I can't seem to find anything on this, so I am assuming not. However, could you please confirm on this?
2. If you had a 10-20 year timeframe, what would be your top pick of these three for a buy and hold strategy?
3. Sylogist vs. Evertz - which one do you prefer?

Thanks guys!

Aaron

Q: The stock price is dipping ever since the company announced the forecast for 2017 which was not bad. Is it worth holding/ accumulating at the current price

Q: Peter, these are stocks that I believe you have recently suggested for growth. Some have had decent pullbacks in price. Can you please rank these, based on today's prices, for purposes of long-term capital and income gains in a TFSA. And, if you have an alternative current favourite to add, please add it to the rankings. Thank you!

Q: Hello 5i
I have been reading a great deal of your responses that include comments implying a short term top developing in many 2016 good stocks.
Rotation out of the winners.
Year end Selling
Manger Positioning
Easy to sell winners for cash

And on the other side, 5i continues to recommend many of these names as investable today.

How is an investor to reconcile buy recommendations(at what feels like short term high) with declining stock prices and the scepter of a January pull back after the 2016 tax year passes.....and when the typical selling period begins for previous year winners?

If one is not a trader, what investor action is to be taken to ensure long term success with volatile names that appear to be in decline today?

(as a note: I may not be in some of these names without 5i.....good(a few nice gain positions-thanks) and bad(dealing with volatility)

Thanks
Dave

Q: Why does Savaria keep dropping? Is it still OK to hold? I bought it at your recommendation and have done well so far but I am wondering about it now. Many thanks for your service.
Peggy

Q: is it ok to bring sis,toy,pbh to 5% each after recent drop?.
