Investment Q&A

Q: "These five factors, if they become pervasive, could result in the U.S. economy going from super strong to mixed to weak or even really weak in a very short period of time, depending on how things play out. This is likely what caused all the investor concern over the past two weeks, and without some better clarity from Washington (which seems highly unlikely), investors may want to temper their expectations for a big market rally this year."

I liked your article. Would you say this is an expansion of the message that Warren Buffet has been making to the government? Also, you say that maybe we shouldn't expect a stockmarket expansion. But, I notice that a lot of investors seem to be sitting this inning out, as well, waiting to see what happens. Are you favourable to this option under current conditions?
thanks for your great company

Q: help ? what happened to this fund today.its down to 0. thanks brian

Q: Any reason for CNQ and MEG energy dropping?
Do you think these are a buying opportunity with a 3 year outlook?

thanks, Paul

Q: Anything dropping this like a lead balloon?

Q: Where can we find the last investing & economic report card and when could we expect the next one?
It would help if they were published as of the end of each month so that we could align them with the performance of our portfolios.
Thank You

Q: Hi Peter I have LMN and TOI in my TFSA, 200 shares of LMN and 46 shares of TOI a 3% position and a 4% respectively. I was thinking of selling some of my LMN to add to the TOI position. Which one does 5i think might have the biggest upside and would this be a wise move on my part. Thanks

Q: Hi Peter,

Please advice 3-5 stocks to invest in now… which should be safe in the long term (10+ years) and have the max potential for growth.
Stocks can be Canadian or US.

Thanks
Harry

Q: Give me 5 stocks in Canada and 5 in the US that will not be affected that much even if Trump raises the tariffs 25% or more.
Thanks Again

Q: Greetings 5i, you have been rating Etsy as a HOLD for some time now, may we please have your updated analysis based on FY2024 results? Profitable, still repurchasing shares, but low growth and can't seem to get any traction, plus headwinds in the current environment. Do you agree? If this is a sell (I would be able to use the loss) would you buy it back in future? Thank you.

Q: Can you give me your latest thought on Hammond .Currently down 25%.Your current conviction much appreciated. Thanks Larry

Q: Hi 5i, In a recent TD analyst TECK report management stated that, "No material impacts from U.S tariffs — Management addressed the issue of potential tariffs on its conference call, noting that while they sell some finished products from Trail into the U.S., they did not expect the imposition of tariffs to have any meaningful impact on its business other than potential impacts to global GDP". Teck is premier company currently trading at a decent price so it seems as if TECK would be an excellent buy at this time. Can 5i give us 5 more superior quality Canadian stocks that appear to be well positioned to weather the US tariff storm? Yes bulletproof would be nice! Thanks, Chris

Q: Why the sudden sharp drop in GIB.A ? Tariff issues? Long term holder here with large position. Is it time to sell half and use proceeds to buy another large Canadian tech company such as CSU.

Q: Is this stock oversold at this point?

Q: Good morning. I'm intrigued by Wealthsimple's offer of bonuses for transferring RRSP etc. What's the catch? Seems the bonuses would accrue over a couple of years but, other than that, is this legit? What do you think about this bid for adding "sticky" accounts? thanks as always

Q: Hi !

Regarding your answer re PRL poor performance and fear of a recession as possible cause. Just how do you see this stock performing in a recession? Would you add/buy at this point?

Thanks!

Q: you liked this stock in dec at 175 or so. it closed today at 139.18. any reason why i should not buy?
