Investment Q&A

Q: Hi, 5i Team
In the market updates email that you sent on Mar/01, you mentioned the following companies deserved a closer look:

Air Canada (AC), Lightspeed (LSPD), BRP Inc. (DOO),Maple Leaf Foods (MFI),Dollarama (DOL),Aritzia (ATZ),Gildan Activewear (GIL),
Alimentation Couche-Tard (ATD.b), Canada goose (GOOS), Descartes Systems. Group (DSG), WSP Global (WSP), 

In the "5i special Opportunities Report" within the Special Market Volatility Report email sent on Mar/09, you recommended 10 stocks that were very attractive. Only WSP and DSG were also included. What do you think of the others? Is it a good time to buy them around March?
Are they also solid names worth owning especially now after some huge corrections?

Thank a lot!

Q: I am looking at adding some US Industrials to my portfolio, could you give me your opinion on Honeywell and Lockheed Martin for long term income generating investments?Are there other US industrial stocks that deliver a good and growing dividend that you prefer?

Q: Hi Guys
Thanks for all your help during this little blip in the market. Thinking that with the new focus on Covid-19 treatment, medical supply companies might be a good investment, at least in terms of consumables. Do you think that might be a wise investment and if so do you have any favourites at this time?

Thanks

Stuart

Q: Hello team,
With regard U.S fed interest rates cut on Sunday, would BoC follow another 50 points cut soon?

Thanks

Q: What would be the best internet gaming company to buy with the casinos closing? Thx James

Q: ZWK has fallen dramatically in this oil and coronavirus crisis. It now yields more than 10% with a 16 cent monthly distribution. Is this higher yield now a red flag for this ETF and U.S. Banks in general? Your thoughts are appreciated on the risks for it going forward, and given it's holdings and exposure to this downturn, and history, the likelihood that it may cut it's distribution. Thank you.

Q: Any idea why A&W would drop a huge 20% on Monday? Thats way beyond the average 10% drop! would you agree that it looks like a pretty good buy here?

Q: Good Morning 5I research. Could I get your thoughts on Canwel recent earnings report. Could this interest rate cut help a company like this?
Thanks for the great work

Q: Good morning guys:
Just like every other investor my stocks in my tfsa are down big time. I have not sold anything as of yet and bought Boyd and MasterCard for my cash account with the recent dip . I know investors should stay the course and not sell quality companies , but just like 2008 it took a long time to get our money back that was lost . That being said is it a better move to sell all my stocks in my tfsa and take the loss . I take the remaining funds and buy quality companies that have been hit big time like a Disney , mastercard , visa , Boyd for example . I presently own 10 stocks in my tfsa and they are all equal weightings. Could you please elaborate what an investor should do in this situation
Thank you for great work .

Q: P/P $15, 1.5% position. Dropped sharply last 2 trading days($11.75 to current $9.05).Any reasons? Current yield 9.98% mainly due to drop in stock price.Reportedly rate is based on 5yr GOC plus 2.89% & resets on Mar 31/21.I think the 5yr GOC is currently 0.62% which indicates a much lower rate then.Please may I have your opinion.If it is advisable to sell,please give 2 to 3 replacemrents dividend stocks( not preferred) Txs for u usual great services & advices

Q: Can I get your thoughts on this etf? It only has $34 million in net assets. I am looking for a government bond ETF with a 1 to 5 year bonds with a reasonable management fee.

Q: What is your take on NWC selling some of it's Giant Tiger Stores back to GT. I know they had some operational issues with these stores. Appears to be a good deal and a clean exit for the exception of the 6 stores they are keeping which I presume are profitable. What impacts do you see from this deal.

Thanks

Q: Currently hold both (1.5% position) and down a lot despite having good management teams. Thinking of selling for a tax loss as I have some gains taken earlier this year pushed forward from last year. Outlook for both in this depressed market with prospect of $20 oil and whether they can weather their debt levels. Buy, hold or sell?
