Investment Q&A

Q: If the Trump tax plan goes through on corporate taxes, this would be a real plus for canadian companies that do a large part of there business in the USA, am i right on this, and what large companies of our's would really benefit?
Thank you

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,
Congratulations on the revamped website which is a pleasure to use.
I recently sold ZCL which is in my TFSA. I want to invest the proceeds into another energy stock, but also want to reduce my total number of holdings since I have too many stocks for the portfolio size. Given that we own these energy stocks: ENB, PKI, and TOG, which of these would you invest the proceeds today? BTW, in your answer to another member, you suggested he sell TOG (we're also down, and I'm frustrated in general with the oil producers) so am considering selling it as well. It's in my wife's RRSP but the loss would be offset by the stellar results received from a majority of your suggestions. (Portfolio approach!)
As always, thanks for the valued advice.

Q: What would be your 3 top picks in US small cap space.

Thanks,
Milan

Q: Could you please comment on their growth, debt, valuation.
Would you buy it today.

Thanks,
Milan

Q: Disregarding all other factors, which of these two companies would u consider safer in a bear or declining market, thanks?

Q: I am considering switching from KWH.un to BIP.un.
I already have Bep.un but no other utilities and a total portfolio position of 7% in utilities.Do you think this is an advisable move? I am 67 with 40 years investing experience.

Q: Good Day,
I expect that this might be a case of too small, too early to be on your radar, but thought I would see if you had any comments on this company.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Love your answers, but somewhat frustrating as I cannot do the Canadian thing and thank you after.

I was pondering this earlier this morning, and thought a social media thing like a thumbs up (or down) by the person who raised the question would be nice to have. BTW - all your answers to date would be thumbs up. OR, maybe a 1 to 5 rating (BTW2 - they would be all 5 to date). (but just for the person who raised the question).

Just some possibilities for you to reflect on.

Jim,

Q: Hi Peter and 5 I team,
Do you still feel positive about the growth potential of CXI? We hold it for the long term in an RESP. If not, what would you recommend as a replacement?
Thank you for your opinion

Q: Is AIG worth holding for 2-3 years. My base cost is $57 and I am concerned that it will drop below this level. I have held this stock for several years.

Q: This silver stock has been in the doldrums for a long time - is there any hope here? Thanks.

Q: Hi. I purchased Cognex some time ago thanks to your recommendation. Would love a suggestion for something similar - good growth, performance, momentum and under followed. I own others such as NVDA but everyone knows about that. Any other hidden gems in the US?

Thanks
Bryan

Q: Hi,

What do you think of this company? Its momentum is impressive.

Q: Can you advise as to the current status and prospects for Petrowest?

Q: Good Morning.

Would you please provide an update on this company? Has anything changed from your previous comments?

Thank you.
Cathy

Q: Hello Peter & Team,

I am looking for something good to read. Can you give any investment book recommendations that aren't in the typical google list of "Best Investment Books", as I have read most of those.

Thank you,

Wes

Q: This is a few times I've asked about ggi and I greatly appreciate your answers. The company released news today which seems to indicate that they are into something rather significant. They have encountered massive sulphides with phenomenal grades. Care to comment on the news release and today's trading activity?

Q: Amongst other names I hold the above noted names and am wondering if you think I should exit any of the names listed or hold on as all have done relatively poorly? Thanks, Ian

Q: Which of these two stocks do you prefer at this time? I already hold AQN, BEP.UN and EMA in the sector. Thank you.

Q: I have noticed that many ETF's traded on US markets offer lower MER's than similar ones in Canada. Do you recommend owning US based ETF's in my RRSP or does it just add too much complexity for the average investor?
