Investment Q&A

Q: Morning 5i:
I am looking to grow 200 k in a new LIRA of mine over the next 5 years before I flip to a dividend income model. What CDN and US growth equities would be your current favourites. I have a healthy risk appetite.
Thanks in advance, Greg.

Q: Hi Guys,

I am retired and is looking for recommendations for 10 US and 10 CDN core stocks. Also an ETF or two for ex North American exposure.
Thank you

Q: We have one 2 year old grandchild, and one on the way. I want to set up a small $1000 investment account for each of them, and add to it each year on their birthday. Because of the small initial amount, I plan to cover the trade commissions. Who knows if it will work, but the object is over 20 years, to show them how buying a good company, with a solid, growing dividend, and adding funds regularly, will reap long term benefits. They will be able to follow the first $1000, and hopefully at least cause them to have some thoughts/questions about investing.
Realizing potential risk/reward, I am looking for stock ideas for low and medium, risk.
Can you recommend 3 companies that you would recommend in each risk level, for this type of idea,

I will probably add trading companies along the way, but I do want one low risk, and one medium risk, long term hold, to start.
Thank you.
Grant

Q: I own the above US stocks, am up a little and down a little on them. I am wanting to cut back on these stocks, in order to raise some US$. Would you rank them, best first. I will only be cutting 2 at this time. Please comment on their growth prospects.
Thanks John

Q: Hi Folks,
I am looking to update my RRSP - I currently hold PG, TD, BNS, MFC, ABBV, PFE, T, BCE, AQN, BIP.UN, ENB - I am thinking of swapping PG with Verizon ( or can you suggest another with a dividend ) to add some "torque".
Thanks

Q: Everyone seems to hate the technicals on semi charts. Cramer thinks they are expensive. I look at both Broadcom and Qualcomm and think they are cheap on a forward PE basis. Yes there are short term supply issues. But double digit growth and these companies with forward PE in the teens. How are these companies not a table pounding buy for dividend growth?

Q: Could you rate these 3 stocks, looking to purchase one of them in my TFSA. Do you have a favourite or would you suggest another.
Thanks John

Q: Would you be a buyer of Qualcomm at this time? The chip shortage fiasco seems to have made a decent buying opportunity. If not Qualcomm, is there another company you would recommend? Thanks.

Q: Hello, Which companies are benefitted by chip shortage and which companies are affected negatively due to the semi conductor shortage? Thanks,

Shyam

Q: Looking to increase my US div. Yield with these picks, would now be a good time to enter or wait, and would you consider better choices and please rate best to worse, thanks.

Q: I own both of the above. I am down somewhat on crm but I like the company and its overall business philosophy. Would you buy a little more now or perhaps sell or hold in this new environment we are entering. I have owned QCOM for quite a while, up quite a bit.
Same question as above or would you suggest something else in the space. Thank you so much. Maureen

Q: Dear 5i
Is the projected earnings growth for these three stocks high enough to be worth investing in ? CTS hasn`t done much in the past year but looks encouraging for 2021 . Qcom seems to have momentum and is likely a good 5G play . BB has developed some business relationships with other companies that should drive growth . Would you invest in any of these at this time ?
Thanks

Q: HI, I wish to add a US stock (large Cie) in my RRSP with those criteria:
1) Safe dividends
2) Some growth
3) Not overpriced ( technology stocks seem very popular and expensive )
I hesitate between PG and VZ
Which one would suit better ?
Any other suggestion in this context ?
Many thanks JY

Q: I have held Cisco for 5 years -up about 50% plus dividends. I am thinking about exiting it for a more interesting stable growth story in the hardware/software business. Qcom is one idea but would appreciate any other ideas or should i just hold on to Cisco for any future growth and the dividend?
thanks
Kevin

Q: Do you have any recommendations on 5 G stocks

Q: Do you know of a company that is ready to roll out the 5G technology. Thanks. Ernie

Q: Following the recent pullback in a few of these stocks, for a 3+ year time horizon, which order would you purchase at current levels in a TFSA account? Thanks

Q: Hi,
Can you please tell me which companies make EV chips?
Thank you.

Q: I've been eyeing qcom for a bit. Given today's drop, what would be a good entry point?

Q: Seems like the stock is going to open much lower in reaction to their latest quarter. May you please comment on their quarter and is it a good entry point? I already hold some NVDA per your strong recommendation, but if I wanted to diversify in the sector.. would QCOM be your second recommendation as of today? Thank you !
