Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi team. I'm ok with some risk and am 100% equities with an average 13% return per year over 10 years thanks to your team!!

Now my question. We sold an investment property with the plan to use the money to fund a new investment property which will be built in 3 years...so this is my time frame. The money will be split between a TFSA & a taxable account, with the taxable account having about 75%.

What do you think if these for the TFSA - CSU, BN, SHOP and DOL?

These for the taxable - WSP, ENB, TFII, DSG, BNS, SU, ATD, BEPC, H, and a little more DOL?

Would you reorganize these between the 2 accounts? Alternatively, would you choose something else due to the timeframe?

Thanks a lot!

Q: There has been lots of good discussion about these 6 stocks on your forums section over the last year BDT, DRX, GSY, HPS.A, PRL, VHI. All have been big winners. Do you think they are still promising investments at current prices?

Q: I'm having a hard time determining when to sell a stock. I feel like I either sell too early or hold too long. I think it's probably better to trip earnings but how do I know when to?

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I will be adding to one or more to small existing positions in either VRT, CELH, AMZN, BKNG, and or NXT. Could you please list in order of preference for addition at this time and considering a decent time frame and high risk tolerance. A short comment on the pros and cons of each would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Q: The most recent question I found on USB was August last year. What is your current opinion on USB? Can you compare it to Visa for total possible return over a 5 year period? I presently hold no US financials.
Thank you.

Q: For a 3-5 year timeframe, for an international ETF, would you recommend VXUS or VIGI? Is there another international ETF which you feel is better?

Thank you for this excellent service.

Q: Today shareholders approved the TRP spin off of South Bow. Will this ultimately unlock additional value for TRP shareholders and if not, would it be better to sell before the spin off? If its a sell, would CNQ be a good replacement in the same space? Can you suggest any other companies in the same space with a stable and growing dividend? (I already own ENB and Pembina).

Q: Good afternoon, Please recommend your 3 favourite international equity ETFs (without US holdings) and your 3 favourite US market ETFs. I already own QQQ which represents approx. 10% of my RRSP (in US dollars). Further, what are your thoughts on investing in the US market in US dollars (converted using Norbert Gambit) vs. Cnd. dollars? Is there an approach which has generated better results? Thank you.

Q: Hello,
Back in 2015 I started a long-term position in SU, thinking at the time that it was a better choice than CNQ as it was more of an integrated producer.
Didn't really work out that way, but I have done OK and collected a decent yield along the way.
Now that you have added CNQ to your Income portfolio, do you see any value in selling a third to a half of my SU position, buying some CNQ and then continuing to hold both for income long-term?

Q: My US equities are currently split between VIG and DGRO. I am considering selling these two ETFs, and considering VTI and VFMO (Vanguard's Momentum ETF). For a 3-5 year hold, can you please rank these 4 ETFs and provide your rationale. Also, please advise whether there is a better US ETF which you would recommend.

Thank you for this excellent service.
