Too optimistic? Should I switch my Sylogist for TCS for a three to five year hold? Thanks again.

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
Sometime in 2014, given the current stage of the economic cycle, I reduced my exposure to Energy and to (traditional) Financials and increased my exposure to Health, Technology and Industrials. The sectoral returns so far indicate that the move is encouraging, but I would nevertheless appreciate your opinion.
Consumer: ATD,BYD.UN,CGX,DOL (10.3%)
Consumer cyclicals (auto): LNR, MG (5.2%)
Energy: TOU,VET,WCP (5.4%)
Energy Infra: ENB,IPL,KEY,PPL (8.1%)
Financials: BNS,CXI,EFN,HCG,TD (8.8%)
Health: CCT,CPH,CXR,GUD,RX,VRX (12.0%)
Industrials: BIN,BIP.UN,CCL,CHE.UN,CNR,SJ,STN (14.0%)
Materials (lumber): IFP,WEF (3.6%)
Technology: CSU,DSG,ESL,CGI,MDA,OTC (17.6%)
Util/Telco/RE: ALA,BCE,BEP.UN,FSV,TCN (10.8%)
Cash: 4.1%
Keep up the good work; in my humble opinion, the service you provide is worth quite a bit more than the membership fee you charge.
Thanks as always,
Antoine

Q: Hi Peter, thank you for all that you do.
My grandson told me today that he has $5,000 in an RRSP and is looking at 2 or 3 stocks to hold long term (10 - 40 years). As far as I know these are his only savings as he just finished University last year. We both agreed that BAM and CSU seem like good choices, but I had not heard much of KBL.
I know you are a fan of BAM and CSU, but wondering your thoughts on KBL and also if there are 1 or 2 stocks that you would prefer over these 3 given such a long term time frame. He is 26 years old and said he plans to contribute $5,000 each year and invest between 1 to 3 (new) companies.
Thank you,
p.s. planning on buying him a subscription for his birthday!

Q: Hi 5i
I have been working on our sector allocation and would appreciate your help.This commentary includes Canadian stocks only.
Financials at 24% of the total include Alaris AD,Bank of Nova Scotia BNS and Power Financial PWF.5i has recommened a 10% allocation.
To comply with your suggested allocation,we need 11% up to 15% in Information Technology and 7% up to 10% in Materials
Assuming no income tax implications I could sell our financial investments down to 10% which I am reluctant to do and invest in whateve you might suggest to bring Information Technology up to your recommended percentages.
Thanks again for all your help.

Q: I have read that US Hedge Funds have been shorting the Canadian Banks because of a pending housing collapse like the one in the USA in 2008. There are also several analysts on BNN that say this is ridiculous because the Canadian housing market is vastly different than the US housing market prior to its collapse. I agree that the Canadian housing market has much less risk than the US market, but I find it hard to believe that the smart people that run US hedge funds don't know this.
what am I missing?
Thanks,

Thanks

Question: Hello Peter & Co, (Feb.9)
The above represents 13% of my RRIF Equity portfolio. I hold CCT,CPH,CXR,GUD,RX and thinking of nibbling in VRX,CRH,PHM; would you please rank them as if I did not own anything.
Thanks,
Tony
5i Research Answer:
These are all so different it is really hard to rank and compare but we would say VRX (for size and stability), PHM (for growth and a decent valuation) and then CRH (due to it looking pricey).
5i Research Answer: (Feb.23)
We think CRH is still OK; it is a solid company getting new attention; yet is still only 14 X earnings, so not too pricey at all.

Q: Hi Team,
These names would be positions to diversify my portfolio. My portfolio already has exposure to most other sectors. Eventually I would like to own all these companies however, could you comment on the pros and cons of each please. Even substitutes/alternatives within the same general sector would help too.
Thanks again for the great work.

Q: Based on information from 5i I have been considering purchasing a small position in TMA for dividend income as well as capital gains. Perhaps it would be better to wait until they report in early March? Are your thoughts on TMA still positive going forward? Thank you.
