Investment Q&A

Q: I am looking to add to my TFSA for a long term hold.
Realising different sectors but considering their current valuations, please rank these companies for a buy.

Q: Would you have a proxy for HPS.A, TFII, BN, NTR, ILMN or just wait out the 30 days?

Thanks for your service!

Q: How would you rank for purchase of ALA, BEPC, EFX, EIF, EQB, MFC, NA, NPI, NTR, PSI, SOBI, SOB, SU, WSP for a income focused portfolio?

Q: What would be your favorite Consumer staples/defensive names at this time and are they over valued now, or continue to be a flight to safety, considering the circumstances of the day. Your thoughts on the above or any additional companies for this sector.
Thank you,
Mike

Q: Greetings 5i, I need to raise some cash and looking at either Teck or Nutrien. Based on medium term prospects which one would you sell? Would appreciate if you can provide a brief explanation in terms of reasons to keep vs sell for each. Thank you.

Q: Based on today’s environment is NTR a sell? The materials sector is pretty diverse, are there two or three CDN companies that you would have a high degree of confidence would outperform just holding XMA for materials exposure? Or would you steer clear of Canada altogether, and if so, applying the same criteria suggest two or three U.S companies that could outperform XLB in the near term.

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, Chris, and Team:
First off and maybe you have already answered this question previously but how do you think this "Tariff War" might play out after the bluff and bluster has completely settled down ?
Also, how do you think that across the board tariffs would effect PSI, NTR, and SIS in the short and medium term ??
Thank you so much. DL

Q: I am underwater significantly (-20 %to 30%) on the above 5 companies. I have a well balanced portfolio so am looking to either sell the above and replace them or add to them. Can you please give me your thoughts on which ones you would ditch and which ones (if any) you would add to. If you have any suggestions as replacements for any that you consider should be sold I would appreciate it. Thanks for your ongoing great insights. Peter

Q: Can I get your thoughts on Capstone please? Seems to keep dropping and now with talk of tariffs and maybe smaller AI infrastructure, it’s not looking great. Would you still hold here? If not, do you have another recommendation for materials sector? CAD or US? My only other one in this sector is Agnico Eagle.

Q: Good morning,

NTR has been slowly moving up. It's part of my materials sector stocks in my non-registered as a cyclical play.

Would you consider it having made that turn and worth rounding into a full position with extra cash.

Thank you.

Q: Good afternoon!
I have some substantial cash to deploy, ideally into Canadian dividend payers at 4% or more. I already have many of the usual suspects, including the following: ENB, BCE, PPL, BNS, CM, LIF, SIA, T, LIF, BEP.UN, DIR.UN, FSZ
I have been waiting until the December sell-off (i.e. Benj Gallander’s suggestion that it is the best time to buy), hoping to find some that have made the sell list that are good candidates for bounce backs in the future. After observing the market in the early stages of tax-loss selling, would you have some names that might fit that bill? Ideally maybe 5 or 6, although I realize that is a tall order, perhaps! Again, I am seeking dividend paying Canadian equities paying 4% or more.
Thanks! Paul

Q: All of these companies have really high debt levels, could you comment on their prospects and whether you would buy, hold or sell. Thanks!

Q: hi, I am down on all these names. I am considering adding to (some of?) them. I am looking for some growth in share price ( to match or beat inflation ) and a consistent growing dividend ( matching or beating inflation ). I also don't want to end up with another AQN or BCE scenario. could you kindly give us your advice on these names and include your thoughts on whether they are a buy (add to ), sell, or hold please.
cheers, Chris

Q: Is it time to add to infosys and/or magna? What about adding to ntr.

Q: Hi,
I'd like to raise some cash in my non-registered account. How would you rank these stock (from first to sell to last to sell)? All will be sold within about 4 years.
Thanks,
CG

Q: Given one has decided to acquire these names, at what price would each become:

1) Attractive
2) Very Attractive

Q: Hello. What are some Cdn list companies that pay dividends in USD? Any with decent yields (above 5%) and/or with solid dividend growth? Thanks!

Q: Considering taking a 12% hit on TELLUS for tax loss and considering I also own BELL so am considering NTR as a replacement for hopfully more growth all bet less income. Or would you consider buying back after 30 be fine? Any thought on a better alternative .Retirement portfolio including HDIF,CIG447,PMIF,WCP,and ENB.BCE. Thanks Larry

Q: We are planning to set up a separate investment account for our grandkids. Assume a 10 year hold. There are a few sectors we would want to overweight - 3 stocks, CAD or US, in Financials, Industrials, Technology and 1-2 stocks in the others. What would you look for and how would that translate into individual stock selections.

Q: For income investors considering a long-term hold in a senior portfolio, which would you prefer for both income and some growth: Telus or Nutrien? Thank you.
