Investment Q&A

Q: Hello and thank you in advance for your reply!
We are hearing more and more talk about a disconnect between the stock market and underlying economies. How sustainable in your view is the current market surge (ie: is this typical of any January), or should we be concerned about another significant correction like last March? If the latter, any recommendations you'd make with regards to less volatile or more defensive sectors, or a more balanced portfolio distribution? With best regards, Aaron

Q: I apologize as I should have asked for some US names in my original question about stocks for my Smith Manoeuvre. 2/3 would be in an unregistered account and 1/3 in a TFSA? Would you be able to please provide 8-9 US names as well in order of your preferred ranking of what to buy first and which ones preferred for TFSA. Thanks again

Q: May I have your current views on WPT please. It seems to be languishing when I would though business would be improving.. Do you know when it next reports? Cheers

Q: Do you have any thoughts on this company? Looks like things are finally ramping up and they will be producing gold very shortly (albeit small amounts). I understand it is a very tiny company at present but if the estimates the company is presenting are anywhere near accurate it seems like there is opportunity here? Their extraction tech, if viable, also seems interesting from an ESG slant. Thank you for your thoughts. Happy New Year to the 5i team!

Q: With Democrats in complete control, could you suggest a few good China and emerging market ETF's? Thanks.

Q: can you name 3 solid companies with high growth for 1 year period

Q: What 3 cdn stocks in your portfolios provide the best long term value right now. I am growth oriented and would likely just add to exisiting positions.

Q: I have small positions in these stocks in my TFSA. Which one would you add to, or do you have another suggestion for a stock that should do well in the next year. Thank you

Q: Hi the great 5i team, can you explain the cost of buying and selling ETF? Where does MER come in the picture? What is the difference between trading stocks and ETF?Thanks.

Q: Any thoughts on Datto? This tech company IPO seems to have gone under the radar relative to the others in the space despite the strong margins/earnings/growth.

Q: VVPR Could I have your take on this co please and its potential in the elec space.

Q: I have listed the companies & etfs in my tfsa plus the %age of each in my portfolio & would like your opinion on whether the group is too passive or aggressive . Should some areas be reduced & would you add some stocks or etfs to give it more diversification? I have pensions, am retired & don't rely on the proceeds for living expenses.
Since I joined 5I ,& more particularly this past year, your advice has been invaluable. For example I just sold DND for a $6600. profit. Your site gave me the idea to buy DND .
Thanks
Dave

Q: How would you assess these two semi conductor companies in relation to 5G rollout.

Q: Hello 5i,
I would like to transfer "In-Kind" from my RRSP to my TFSA. I have 4 candidates to consider and wonder which order you would rank them in, Best to Worst. I am down in all but one so have added the percentage loss in case that has any significant weighting in the decision.
AW.UN (-14.95%)
EIF (-4.72%)
SIS (+0.32%)
ZDI (-3.12%)
Since all are monthly dividend payers it is more or less immaterial to me which I move.
Also, in this vein, since I am in no rush to accomplish this, should I wait until any kind of pullback in the equity I choose, or just go ahead at whatever price at any time?
Many thanks for your insight.
Cheers,
Mike

Q: With a Democrat Senate, higher government spending, rising inflation and an expanding 10 yr yield, what would be your fixed income allocation for the next five years? Do any of the above choices make sense? Thanks.

Q: I have been reading a lot about Roblox and it is sounding like an exciting IPO to me. Just wondering your thoughts on this stock and the sector in general. If you do not like this one, what do you like in gaming, ATM?

Thank you for the GREAT service!

Q: Happy New Year 5i!
I recently joined and have been reading as many of these questions as I can get my hands on and appreciate your insight.
I've recently started a TFSA portfolio with a breakdown as follows:
- REI.UN (14%)
- TD (33%)
- FTS (29%)
- HR.UN (3%)
- T (12%)
- SIS (5%)
- ATZ (5%)

I have been attempting to buy into companies and reinvest via DRIP and thus my preliminary focus on dividend companies (with diversity taking a backseat). What are your thoughts on REITs for growth going forward over the next couple years? Are they worthwhile keeping or do you foresee more upside with investment into growth stocks? If so, do you have a top 2 growth stocks that could compliment the rest of the portfolio in lieu of REITs?

Thanks so much!
Kyle
