Investment Q&A

Q: I have small positions in these stocks in my TFSA. Which one would you add to, or do you have another suggestion for a stock that should do well in the next year. Thank you

Q: Hi the great 5i team, can you explain the cost of buying and selling ETF? Where does MER come in the picture? What is the difference between trading stocks and ETF?Thanks.

Q: Any thoughts on Datto? This tech company IPO seems to have gone under the radar relative to the others in the space despite the strong margins/earnings/growth.

Q: VVPR Could I have your take on this co please and its potential in the elec space.

Q: I have listed the companies & etfs in my tfsa plus the %age of each in my portfolio & would like your opinion on whether the group is too passive or aggressive . Should some areas be reduced & would you add some stocks or etfs to give it more diversification? I have pensions, am retired & don't rely on the proceeds for living expenses.
Since I joined 5I ,& more particularly this past year, your advice has been invaluable. For example I just sold DND for a $6600. profit. Your site gave me the idea to buy DND .
Thanks
Dave

Q: Hello 5i,
I would like to transfer "In-Kind" from my RRSP to my TFSA. I have 4 candidates to consider and wonder which order you would rank them in, Best to Worst. I am down in all but one so have added the percentage loss in case that has any significant weighting in the decision.
AW.UN (-14.95%)
EIF (-4.72%)
SIS (+0.32%)
ZDI (-3.12%)
Since all are monthly dividend payers it is more or less immaterial to me which I move.
Also, in this vein, since I am in no rush to accomplish this, should I wait until any kind of pullback in the equity I choose, or just go ahead at whatever price at any time?
Many thanks for your insight.
Cheers,
Mike

Q: With a Democrat Senate, higher government spending, rising inflation and an expanding 10 yr yield, what would be your fixed income allocation for the next five years? Do any of the above choices make sense? Thanks.

Q: I have been reading a lot about Roblox and it is sounding like an exciting IPO to me. Just wondering your thoughts on this stock and the sector in general. If you do not like this one, what do you like in gaming, ATM?

Thank you for the GREAT service!

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
