Q: I’m down on the above stocks in my cash account. Total loss is $6000 CAD. I like the names and want to own these long term. Would you sell and wait the 30 days? Buy proxies? Keep and decide when the madness ends? As always. Thanks.

Q: How would you rank the following for a growth oriented long-term hold: DEFI, DCBO, HPS.A, KSI, VHI, PRL, GSY, ATZ, CLS, NTR, PBL, DRX

Q: Hi group the above stocks i sold 1/2 of my folio about 3 months ago/ yes at a tidy profit. My question is I am 75 years old and have $100,000 to reinvest (20% of my total portfolio)...(dry power) i do not need any cash to supplement my income for at least 5 years unless the market falls of a cliff because of Trump/Tariffs. I would say I am a sleep at night investor So the question is what to do now wait or start nibbling now. These stocks make up about 70% of the total portfolio

Q: If you own/follow GSY you can't help but notice that this stock has been sell off hard daily. Why is GSY such a popular target for the manipulators even when it reported great earnings and raised dividend to that level?

Any theory? Thanks.

Q: I believe the current market downturn provides opportunity. I would like your insight into the following two questions; along the lines of "be greedy when others are fearful".

First, recognizing a 2-3 year hold is very, very short term thinking, what are 3 companies with dividend bearing stock that you feel would be in the top 10% of performers as the market recovers.

Second, what 3 companies do you feel provide the biggest stock price recovery and growth opportunity for a 5+ year hold.

Thanks as always,

Dave

Q: Hi group short on financials /gold /silver / oil.... so in what order and what entry price would you add Presently own GSY (4 % position.) also GDXJ (2% weighting ) ARX (5% position ) FFH 5% position...any other suggestions in these sectors are welcome. thanks for your help with this

Q: Hello 5i team, the listed companies have had a rough period in terms of performance in the last 8 months seeing an average of 30% loss over the past year.

What are your current thoughts on them and what would you recommend for an investor looking for a long term hold?

Q: Within each of their sectors, CPX and GSY seem to have suffered larger drops than their peers.

Can you comment on why they each have been so negatively impacted and provide your thoughts on whether you think they should be continued to be owned or do you have other preferences in these sectors, if one's goal is income and some growth.

Thank you

Q: With the pull-back, I want to take positions in the above at an appropriate weighting for a long term hold - the Canadian holdings and NVDA at full position, the others at 2-3%. Could you mark them at todays levels as buy, partial buy, watch or don't buy, and make any appropriate back-up comments. Thank-you!

Q: Assuming that the reactions to the tariffs ends up being a great buying opportunity, and also that we've probably passed the crystal ball "sell everything" point, WHEN and WHERE (industries, specific favorite stocks) would you look to put new money in please?

Q: These companies have pulled back. what order would you buy these names? Is there any you would not buy?

Thank you
Tim

Q: Good Morning, thoughts on the appointment of Dan Rees as CEO at Go Easy.

Q: is this an opportunity to add on weakness or is it a HOLD?

Q: How were GSY's results vs expectations?

Q: I hold these small/mid cap stocks. Most have done well.

It looks like the interest rates vs inflation discussion isn’t going away soon and rates may be higher for longer. With this as the backdrop and current uncertainty around the markets is this a time to lighten up on Small/Mid cap stocks and take some profit? Or would you hold?

Thanks
Tim

Q: I'm looking to add a dividend growth stock to my portfolio and considering DOL, TRI, STN, GSY, WCN. What are your views on these stocks and please rank given current market conditions and price. I hold others such as BN, TFII, CSU, and ATD. Others to consider?

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Across all accounts, our holdings in the Financial Sector include BN, FFH, GSY, MFC, SLF, and the CEW ETF. I feel that this is a fairly good representation but realize that the Canadian banking sector is quite low, and the US banking sector is non-existent in our portfolio. Portfolio Analytics indicates that we need more exposure in this sector.

Several questions; please deduct question credits accordingly.

1. TipRanks shows that BN has a P/E ratio of 125.13. Can this be true?

2. A recent question from a 5i member asked about Sagicor SFC, which prompted me to investigate it further. I realize that it’s a small-cap stock, but noticed that for the 3 month, 6 month, and year-to-date periods, it has excellent momentum (which I know you like) and has a really low P/E ratio of 1.51, which I assume to be correct.

3. Because I feel that Trump tariffs are more of a possibility than not, I’m in the process of adjusting some sectors but not all, in case the tariffs don’t happen.

4. Would you endorse a small holding in SFC, (say a half-position) using proceeds from the sale of more tariff-vulnerable stocks?

5. Finally, could you suggest some Canadian-domiciled ETFs that would give us needed exposure to both the Canadian and US banking sector?

As always, thanks for your assistance that helps us to make informed decisions.

Q: If you didn't have a full position in GSY-T, would you add on recent weakness? What is your long term view of this company?
