Investment Q&A

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

Q: After a fairly large run up, is ECN still considered cheap?

Q: I understand that this co will be issuing warrants. Don't know anything about warrants, how do they work and is it a good idea?

Q: Good morning - I was reading an interesting GS report which is calling for a structural bull market for commodities, starting in 2021. Let's say GS is correct. Assuming that, what would you suggest for a Canadian investor, both at home and in the US. Also, is there an ETF or two that you would suggest to address this assumed trend. Finally, do you think GS is on or off target here?
Thanks

Q: I own ENB, FTS, and TRP but think I should position more into green/clean /renewable type energy companies. I do own AQN which I believe fits into the clean/renewable category. So I am thinking to sell one of ENB, FTS or TRP and replace it with a greener alternative. So which one would you sell and what would you buy to replace it with(can you provide more than one option)?
I would like to just take a moment to thank you all at 5i who have such a huge positive impact on my investing. Over the last few years, since signing up, you have given me so much more confidence in my ability to manage my own affairs. You are the perfect resource. There to lean on, answer my questions and point me in new directions and to new opportunities.

Q: With a Democratic win in the US and with that a possibility of increased tech regulation would you be OK buying Alphabet now or waiting to see what happens? I already own shares but would like to increase my position. Thank you

Q: Hi guys,

Should the Democrats hold all 3 houses, what is your prediction for the North American markets. Drastic sell off or same as before.

Thanks

Jim

Q: Good morning,

Could I please have your thoughts on the SPAC Longview Acquisition and its acquisition of Butterfly the handheld ultrasound co. with backing from the Gates foundation? I know you generally are not a fan of SPACS however with knowing the company being purchased does it change your view at all? Any concerns with the pending lawsuit?

Thanks as always for your guidance

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide some fundamentals for Xebec Absorption including P/E, cash on hand and cash flow, debt, insider ownership and anything else you think is particularly important. The stock has risen so quickly that I am not sure whether the fundamentals justify it or it has simply become a 'must own' stock for investors. Do you feel the growth potential is still there. I am having some difficulty trying to decide if I should sell a portion of my holdings or hold on for a longer term.
Thanks.
