Investment Q&A

Q: I am underweight consumer discretionary stocks (also underweight US stocks). I only own AMZN and REAL in this space. Considering ATZ or GRMN. Are there any others I should consider. What would be your suggestion to add? My portfolio has a mix of about 25 US and Canadian stocks based on reading your question section daily. Thanks for all you do for the independent investor!

Q: What do you think it will take for this stock to get to pre-Covid levels and what type of time frame as stock has not moved

Q: I'm looking for a few suggestions of economy re-opening stocks, US and CAD that you would consider 'investable' with a recovery taking place over the next year or so.

Q: What are the prospects for badger daylighting in the next year? What companies in your balanced equity portfolio do you predict will have solid growth over the next Couple years?
Also your outlook for pho over the next year?

Q: Do you believe the cyclic trade is back for real and if so, can you recommend 3 stocks Each in the US and Canada? Thanks!

Q: Thoughts on their 1/4, thanks

Q: I know you are not speculators especially in this forum but you have in the past identified companies like shopify, lightspeed etc. Are there any new companies that your watching for the growth portfolio at this time that you care to share for members to do their own research on?

Q: Granted that these companies differ in dividend (only with AD), size (DOO largest, AD smallest) and type of business (sports equipment, fashion products, and equity financing to private companies), how would you rank these four stocks for future growth runway today (highest to lowest) if sector was not a consideration? Thanks for your valued input!

Q: shall Ihold these or sell and move on I don't need the money

Q: Hi,
You have been rightly complemented many times for
or your wise counsel recently. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the group for their many varied questions. Both the questions and answers have helped me a lot.
For various reasons I have not visited the Asset Allocator section for some time and find that I am not as well 'balanced' as I should be. I am over invested in financials (BAM.A, TD, BNS, RY and SLF) and grossly underinvested in Consumer cyclicals. I am also overinvested in Canada. Could you please suggest 2-3 US and Canadian Consumer cyclical stocks?
Many Thanks,
Bryn

Q: Morningstar rates ATZ "Wide" moat, only a handful of Canadian companies are rated as such. How did ATZ build that moat? I missed the boat, but just doing research.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Hope you all continue to be safe! Question is on Aritzia's earnings and the market reaction. They seem to have done quite well and same store sales growth looks pretty strong. I initiated the position with the BE portfolio recently but didn't buy all the stock I was supposed to and was looking at adding the rest following the earnings realease.

Your thoughts, please!

Thanks!

Q: Good morning, Peter and Ryan.
Sorry this is to follow up with my last question. I forgot to include ATZ in my tickers.
I have limited cash in CAD RRSP account now. I think the each of above four stocks (i.e. XBC, DOO, ATZ, WELL) will be good additions to diversify my current portfolio. But I may add only two of three of the above. Can you please rank them?
Thank you,
Yiwen

Q: Appreciate u 12 tips today. Too many for me to buy now.Has lots of the big 6 can.banks & Qst (similar to Xbc).Please give me best 5 to buy.Txs for u usual great services & views. FYI China moves to impose HK security law causing drops in Asian markets esp HK( down 4.84% now) as well as US futures(Dow now down 139 after earlier up some 108)

Q: Your top 5 consumer stocks for long-term hold? US would be ok.

Q: Hello 5i,
Thanks for all your great work.
I've been impressed with the unique way that Aritzia has carved out a place for itself in the Canadian retail sector. I've been thinking about stepping in and buying some discounted shares. Can you please comment on your overall thoughts on the company, it's financial strength and it's ability to make it to the other side of the virus disruption.
Thanks so much,
Murray

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 need to increase my Cons Disc and my Real Estate allocations. I currently hold GC and DRA.UN. Do you have any other suggestions of a Balanced Equity nature for each sector. Risk is not a concern.

Thank You for your great service
Clarence

Q: Hello 5i team,
I read that Artiza's director sold last week 1.9 million $ worth of stock. As well as two other executives exercised their options and sold.
Would you read anything negative ?
Between GOOS and ATZ, which one would you prefer for a long term holding I need more consumer discretionary in my portfolio. (I am 60 and will not require to access any funds).

Regards,
Elaine

Q: Hi,
Can you tell me what you think fair share value is for Aritzia now? Ive held it less than a year, and am thrilled with being up $8 (almost 50%). Im just trying to decide if the best part of this ride is over or if it has potential and reasoning to make more solid gains. Even if you think growth will continue but slow down from the current pace, I will likely sit on it a while. I just dont want to kill my returns by waiting if its likely to stagnate for a while.

Thanks
