Investment Q&A

Q: Good day team, I was wondering if you could provide some growth stocks either in the US and Can that have very little to no debt.

Q: Hi, I've looked on the web and can't find an answer to this question (Yes, I did Google it).

Are both of GOOG and GOOGL splitting or just one?

Thanks
Robert

Q: Am thinking of selling my VZ shares to buy GOOG shares, so as to possibly participate in a GOOG stock increase when the stocks splits 20 for 1 in July. Of the 2 companies which does 5iR think has the better prospects for greater future growth and a brief explanation as to why. Thanks … Cal

Q: Hi,
I'm looking for 5 or so US companies who will recover very quickly once we hit bottom. My plan is to do a little gambling and buy long term calls.
Thanks for all the help over the years.

Q: I have $35,000 CAD to invest in a non registered account. Can you suggest a couple of names worth looking at (US/Can)and why? I have a 7 year time horizon.

Thoughts on how you might deploy? Buy now, in thirds over the next few months or wait?

Thanks

Q: What are your thoughts on google at todays prices for a 5 to 10 year hold ? thanks Steve

Q: Just can't catch a break on this one. SP is back to where it was 10 years ago. Any thoughts on long term prospects ...any hope for share appreciation after the merger with Warner ?? I know this is a tough market but am I better selling this for an alternate ...if so what ?

Q: Hello,

After GOOG does their split - do you think the demand/trading volume for the CDR will dry up?

And in a worst case scenario that likely will never happen - if the CDR winds up and liquidates....would the holders get cash returned or would they receive proportional equivalent of US listed GOOG?

thank you and have a great weekend.

Q: Dear 5i Team,

If there was an option to totally liquidate all of the investments someone had and start with a clean slate, which 20 stocks US and Canada (10 each) would you recommend for a 10 year horizon?

Thank you for your advice as always,

Much appreciated.

Q: At this time, which stock would be a better investment for a 3 to 5 year hold? I understand that both will be splitting in the near future. As well, if Google is the choice, would it be Goog.us or Googl.us that should be bought? Would you buy before the split or after? Thank you for your guidance.

Q: Would you have a good proxy for U:US, DND and GH:US to capture tax losses, I do not need them but I would use them at for the future? If there is no equivalent, please state that as well and I can wait until markets return, whenever that will be.

Thanks for your service!

Q: would you describe these companies now more as GARP? what are there current P/E ratios P/S ratios and PEG ratios for the last 3 years what has been the lowest p/e. lowest p/s. and lowest PEG. please show how you calculate current PEG and why it can be a useful tool when determine value. many thanks Richard

Q: Hello Peter,
Thank you for your suggestion to have some silver in the portfolio. It got life just when I was considering an exit . This question is also somewhat related.
I am beginning to think that Energy and Commodities have got significant room to run this summer. I am overweight technology and overweight semiconductors within. All my favorite growth stocks besides UPST.
To increase my portfolio in energy and commodities I need to reduce technology including names like NVDA AMAT GOOG etc. I am thinking that the tech sector will not react violently to the upside and there will be sufficient time to rotate back from energy and commodities.
However, I also feel that just when I throw in the towel, the market will find support and bounce back. I do believe in their long term future but perhaps not a bad idea to trade the trend for now. I am on the fence with financials too at the moment, what with the war, asset freezes, bans and Powell tempering his tone.
What would you suggest to me.
Regards
Rajiv

Q: What price would be a great entry point for Goog? BMO InvestorLine has $2401.43 for Stop price/ long position. Could you please kindly explain about this? Many thanks

Q: Hi 5i We have $65000.00 in cash in an RRESP account. The funds will not be used for 7 years. We are looking to get back into the market. May we have 5 Canadian and 5 US suggestions. Thanks

Q: Could I have your best single selection for both US and Canada for a conservative investor in these 7 sectors - energy, global defence, cyber, pipelines, utilities, consumer staples and defensive growth within software tech. Thank you for the help.

Q: Hi!
My question is around what to do with high growth, unprofitable technology companies that were once huge winners. If one has a small portion allocated to these companies, does it make sense to hold and one day things could turn and these stocks can gain again. There is so much talk to switch to value/cyclical/materials and that trade can last for a very long time. My guess is you favour diversification which I have, but of course wonder if these unprofitable tech names can go down another 50 percent and will they ever recover?? Which of the high growth unprofitable tech names would you be adding to or would you only add to profitable tech like Meta, Amazon, Google, etc...
Thank you!

Q: Given the increasing implied VOL in options, what are your favourite names in CAD and USD for covered call strategies?

Looking for stocks that you already like that have reasonably liquid options (I know harder in CAD) and you think have excellent bounce back potential and wouldn't mind owning for 2-3 years. Thanks
