Investment Q&A

Q: What would be your top 10 “sleep at night” stocks for US and Canada?
Thanks

Q: Could you please provide 3-4 names of US companies that you buy now in each of the following sectors: Technology, communications, industrial, discretionary, and Materials.

Q: Which US industrials represent the best combo of dividends and growth potential? Thanks

Q: Can you provide a current outlook on these two from a valuation perspective

Q: Hi Peter and 5iresearch team:
In your answer to Gerry's question on Feb 16, you mentioned that CSU and ATB have been the best Canadian compounders over the last ten years. You added DOL, BYD, TFII, BN, CLL.B, TRI based on historical performance and you are expecting LMN.V, TVK, HPS.A, TOI, GSY to be potential Canadian compounders in the future.

1. Would YOU still invest in CSU, ATB, DOL, BYD, TFII, BN, CLL.B, TRI with the same conviction and weighting?
2. Could you please provide a similar answer but for the US market? Please provide 10 or so best US compounders based on historical performance that YOU think investors should keep investing in and 5 or so US companies that YOU would buy as potential US compounders in the future.

Thank you for the great service.

Q: I'd like to increase investments in industrial, consumer discretion and consumer staples and also increase U.S. holdings.
I'm considering Amazon and COST for consumer names - are there other U.S. names you would recommend in these sectors and please suggest a U.S. industrial as well.

Q: How would you value above companies for a long term industrial hold.? Are there other companies in the North American industry you would prefer? Thank you.

Q: Could you please give me 5-6 large cap US or Canada stocks you like at this time.

Thx

Q: Nice acquisition today by TFII and a good move in the stock. TFII seems to have perfected the art of the acquisition and integrating into operations. I believe TFII is the largest trucking company in Canada. How do they rate compared to US firms? Is there a possibility that TFII might be in the sights of a big US firm? Could they be on the receiving end of takeover bid?

Q: I see tfii is down close to 20% from its recent high. Do you still like it for a 5 year hold/

Q: Any explanation for a couple of down days? Any issues that you see?

Q: Hi Guys,

Which is your favorite and why? (ODFL & TFII)

Thanks

Jim
