Investment Q&A

Q: Brief thoughts on these weeds I'm looking to pick.

Return and % weight in portfolio now and what I plan:

MGA: -39, 2.13%. Looking to trim slightly down to 1.5%, add to ATZ, BYD, BKNG or SBUX?
ILLM: -87%, 0.14%. So small now its insignificant, roll into GOOG position
CTS: -46%, 0.96%. Hovering at 1 yr low. Aside from strategic review, what's the catalyst?
MED: -61%, 0.80%. Sell and add to ATZ, BYD, BKNG or SBUX?

Toss them, hold them or water them? Thanks!

Q: Good morning 5i
Yesterday i asked about a replacement for Magna and you kindly offered tfii and ats. I like these suggestions. But, the problem ( nice to have such a problem) is that i am already quite overweightin tfii and am also overweight inthe industrial sector. So, i am hesitant to buy ats. Do you have an equivalent for ats? Any other sector is ok, although my technology holdings are high. Also a US stock would be ok. It may not be the right mindset but i would like something with growth that can help recuperate some of my loses on mga
Thanks

Q: Good morning 5i
With your recent downgrade to Magna, i don’t imagine you would offer much objection to selling it as a tax loss? Is it a good idea to buy it back after thirty days or exchange it for another? What company would you suggest as a place holder or a replacement?
Thanks for the excellent service

Q: These companies are in my husband’s TFSA and they are currently all down from where I purchased them.
In the current economy, which of these companies would you add to today? Please rank them in order of preference.

Q: These companies are in my husband’s TFSA.
They were chosen from your Balanced and Income Model Portfolios.
Would you suggest adding any other companies to this portfolio?
Thank you,

Q: Magna International was bought in a TFSA on the US exchange. Because it is a Canadian company will the dividend be taxed?
Thank you for your response.

Q: Earlier this year I transferred my Magna shares from my non registered Canadian Account to my non registered US account in order to avoid money exchange charges. I am interested in selling the shares and would like to know if the same shares can be sold through my US account so I can use the US funds to purchase some beaten up ADSK and CRM shares this month.
Thanks for all the support in 2021.

Q: Good morning!

I hold a 1/2 position in Magna. I do believe in this stock longterm. With the shortages and things appearing to be priced in. Is it time to top up to a full position?

On a separate question what are your highest conviction growth pics in TECH for the 4Q.
Preferably US but can spribkle some Canadian names as well.

Thank you for the amazing input and service. It's been immeasurable.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan & 5i,
I am looking for seven great Canadian dividend stocks that are listed on US exchanges that pay their dividends in US $. I have about 70K US$ to invest.
Much appreciated and thanks for the great service. Ivan

Q: Am I missing any major sectors with these stock investments?
Where should I focus if I would like to ensure a diverse portfolio?
Are there any stocks that I should dump?

Q: Based on your experience and the resources you have access to, do you care to give your educated and thoughtful guess on the following: IF Apple were to proceed with building smart cars, would you agree Apple is far more likely to contract with MGA than with any legacy automakers? In this context , let us define “far more likely” as a greater than sixty percent chance. If you place the chances significantly lower than that, would you not agree that MGA is now fully valued? Come now, perhaps even modestly over valued?

Q: Am looking to purchase TM or a suitable auto/auto parts company for 5 year hold, in RSP. Suggestions, rankings, please. Thanks!
