Investment Q&A

Q: Do you predict much growth for EQB in the next year or two? Would you lump GSY into the same growth projectory? Would you expect PRL to provide better long-term growth than either of these?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi 5i,
In registered accounts I hold these financials: POW, BNS, CM, EQB, PRL; these tech: TXF.B, HTA and the industrial MDA. I've held them for a long time and I'm pleased with all of them.
However, given Trump may be serious about decimating the Canadian economy (witness latest threatened increase in steel and aluminum tariffs) and likely can do a lot of damage even if he doesn't completely succeed, I'm considering cashing in holdings in Canadian names and replacing with US names through purchasing CDR's (I don't have a US account and don't plan on opening one). A few of questions arise:
1. Do you think my reasoning makes sense, or would it be an over-reaction to make the move regarding all or some of my above holdings?
2. If the move is worth considering, can you suggest CDR alternatives for any of the above names you think should be replaced?
3. If I do replace any of the above CDN names with equivalent or nearly so CDR's, what can I expect regarding dividend income compared to that from the CDN holdings (all of which - except MDA - are currently yielding based high, based on long ago purchase prices)?
Please deduct as you see fit.
Thanks 5i,
Peter

Q: Which names in the Growth and Balanced portfolios respectively do feel best about currently for a 3-5 year hold? Any related sector comments?

With thanks.

Q: Comments on their quarter please.

Q: Is this a good time to buy EQB.? Currently hold some
Thanks

Q: hi group light on both Canadian and Us banks. what ETFs in Canada and the US make most sense in the present environment or should i go with induvial names like JPM in US and RY in Canada IFC and EQB are also attractive . Also is UNH a screaming buy or should i wait for the dust to settle

Q: Hit "enter" to fast on my last question. Looking for some ideas with the understanding you can't offer direct recommendations. I have 40 K to add to my non-reg account. I have full positions in all the pipelines, OLY, GWO, BNS, CU, NPI, BIR, PEY, TPZ, CNQ, PRL and BMO. I have no need for any income for at least five years, not opposed to going overweight if necessary, have lots of higher yielders so would perhaps benefit from some choices with capital gain and dividend growth potential versus just high yield.

Q: Which 5 Canadian growth stocks would you start to accumulate today? Cash account.
Which 5 USA growth stocks would you start to accumulate today? Cash account.
Five year hold.
Thanks

Q: Greetings 5i team,
I hold the securities listed above, as well as a couple of more stable ETFs and some cash in my TFSA. I am aware that things are going to be volatile at least for the near future but am wondering in what order an investor might deploy cash to any of these securities given the correction we are experiencing.
Thank you
Steve P

Q: Hi Chris, With today's blood bath, please advise if you think of screaming buy high conviction stocks for growth and dividend. If possible price range too. Thanks

Q: I currently owned IFC and EQB. Would it be better to sell IFC and buy X for the long term, this would be more than 10years?

Q: Is EQB a buy now? It was suggested that if if fell below $100.00 that this would be a good time to buy. I currently own some and wonder if I should buy more ?

Thanks

Q: What would be your top 10 Canadian stock picks now, maximum market cap $10 billion, long term hold. Thanks.

Q: Planning on setting up an income portfolio of dividend growing equities. Would the above stocks meet this objective. Already own BAM, BNS, CNQ, DIR.UN, ENB, FRU, FTS, IFC, PEY, POW, SLFm TRP and WCP. Are there other equities other than the above list that you would recommend substituting for one or more of them? Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: Hello Team,
Can you please rank the above companies from 1-13 based on which ones you would purchase today, looking for a 2-3 year hold. Thanks.

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: How would you rank for purchase of ALA, BEPC, EFX, EIF, EQB, MFC, NA, NPI, NTR, PSI, SOBI, SOB, SU, WSP for a income focused portfolio?

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
