Investment Q&A

Q: Thank you for your calming market update!!

I do have cash to deploy, given the volatility in the market and the significant pullback, what would be your top 5 Picks in Canada and the US with growth potential during the next 2 to 3 years?

Thanks
Tim

Q: A big thank you to 5i Staff for providing us with a Market Update today despite it being a holiday Monday, and giving us your perspective on the big sell off today in global and US markets. Much appreciated.

Q: First of all, thanks for Market Update of Monday, hope it settled some people.
I was reading a rather mind boggling history on ETF’s and one thing that stuck in my head was their findings that market cap ETF’s were a momentum play with buying the winners and selling the losers while a cap pegged ETF was more of a sell the winners and buy the losers approach. Never thought of it that way. Have I got this right ? Thanks. Derek

Q: If I had a little cash today to buy in my RRSP, which has a ten year horizon and generally follows your balanced portfolio, what would you think would be a good name to purchase based on todays activity?

Q: Your thoughts on this stock. Also, what would explain a yoyo round trip in the stock price in 1 day on increased volume as seen on Monday. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i
Well, this rotation is making my head spin!
Could you provide some calming words to settle my stomach :)
Thanks

Q: Good morning,
which ETF, available at the moment, is the most effective for keeping cash without monthly distribution but rather a capital gain on resale?

Q: Hi 5i Team,
If you can only buy one of them, Broadcom and AMD, which one would you prefer?

Q: Good afternoon 5i
A number of people have asked about the best small cap etf. You have sometimes mentioned ijt as a good one. But, lately you have been recommending ijr. In the answers 5i always mentions whether or not someone on staff holds the given stock or etf. I was curious as to wht you would say that ijr is your preferred but not own it and own ijt, though
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i's!

In your opinion, what strong Cdn or US companies look like excellent entry points or adds after yesterdays market drop and todays losses?

Thanks as always.

Q: Read the Q&As almost daily for several years now.
Senior, retired and living on government pensions.
My question is about a growth-oriented TFSA cash allocation of about 10k or less than .75% of total equity portfolio. Will not need the funds for another 34 months.
Understand you cannot indicate position size or provide personal advice.
Current TFSA holdings in order of largest %age gain to biggest losers in TFSA is: TFII, TRI, DIR.un, DSG, KXS, LMN, TOI, TVK, EQB, DOL, DOO, PMZ.un, TIXT, REAL, S, HOT.un, EGLX. Top 10 are in excess of 1.50% of position size. Bottom six are headed for exit ramp in due course.
Across entire non-reg and TFSA portfolio am underweight Cons Cycl, COMMS, Industrials, Healthcare and international multi-sector.
Pondering adding to existing or a new TFSA position to add to the 40-plus I already have. So how would YOU allocate this 10K today?
