Q: More and more analyst seems to believe we’ll have a not so bad start of 2020 finally. Industrial signals have been weak, but it appears to have a good chance for a come back. What do you think of a 5% position in vaw, because material (chemicals among others) have been underperforming as a way to play a recovery of the general industrial sector. Rest of the portfolio is well balanced.

Q: In my TFSA I have had a nice run with SQ and was thinking of selling it out and "starting over" with a couple or three of the above listed stocks that you have recently identified as having high potential ( with the same? amount of risk that came with buying SQ a couple of years back) What do you see as the pros and cons of such a move and if implemented which 2 or 3 would you chooses at this time?
Thanks,
Terry

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

To increase my Industrial exposure, I recently bought 300 shares of GDI, and am down about 1.5% so far. Would GDI be a good candidate for tax loss selling, or do I run the risk of having to buy it back at a higher price after 30 days? Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Q: GDI: 5i seems to like this company at 30 x FPE, a lot of debt.. What am I missing? In general, I only buy large cap "dividend growers". I have only bought 2 growth type stocks before BAD and ACQ which I held for a few years and sold at huge profits - both never to return to their previous highs - so, never considered them core positions. The same would apply to GDI; however, a little gun shy on this one at these highs.

Q: While I know your focus is not US companies, I have US funds to deploy for a longer-term, relatively conservative position. The outlooks for Moody's, Hyatt Hotels and VISA all seem to be positive stories to me. Considering their current prices along with other factors, which of the three would you consider the best prospect and why. If you could name your '2nd place finisher', that would also be appreciated.

Q: Hi 5i,
I have owned laurentian bank for 2 years and currently down 20% on initial purchase of a full position. It’s is held in tax free account and no additional funds to average down. Would it make sense to sell this stock and direct proceeds to other financials even though it pays a nice dividend. If so what would u recommend?
In your opinion Does it have any chance to recover or has this just become a lost opportunity and better to move on?
Thx
