Investment Q&A

Q: FSV has taken quite a hit since the earnings report--a little overblown? Is this a good time to get a full position?

Q: Hi,

Given its recent results, do you consider First Service a screaming buy at its present level ?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5I
What is your opinion of this BMO Broad Commodity ETF?.
Would you scale into it here?
Thanks. Cheers

Q: I have held a large Position in BIP.UN in my RRSP for many years. The equity has done OK but in looking back wonder why my Financial Advisor didn't suggest i rotate this into BN or BAM to gain max returns.

I don't need the income and it seems alot of BIP.UN's return comes in the form of the dividend which is not treated favorably within a Registered Account so BIP.UN seems not best for RRSP.

How would you suggest i better allocate these funds within a Registered Account between Brookfield companies to gain max benefit and at what price(s) would you suggest the switch?

Just on a side note i previously also held BEP.UN and my advisor suggested it was rated a Sell by Veritas so i let him sell at a very inopportune moment ($33). He claimed Veritas had a Sell on all Brookfield companies. Is Veritas a reputable rating Agency because they seem to just dislike any and all Brookfield entities?

Q: What is your opinion on these stocks

Q: Hello, can you please comment on the company and recent results?

Thank you
Robert

Q: I would like to just buy one of either BNS or TD. Considering both the size of the dividend and potential for stock growth - which would you choose today?

Q: The board chair is stepping down and a "Special Committee" has been formed. In your opinion does this mean anything or is it only posturing?

Q: Hello 5i
What do think about Uber from a growth perspective? Do you consider it a worthwhile investment ?
Thanks as always

Q: What’s going on with MDA?

Q: BRO was such a good compounder for years. But since its last big acquisition its hitting 52 week lows, on top of the insurance sector struggling. Is this becoming a great buying opportunity or likely more issues and compounding story is behind them? Thx

Q: I need to add more global allocations to my portfolio. Can you suggest three Canadian and three U.S. ETFs?

Q: Hi, looking to trim one of these holdings too many, could you please rank these companies from least liked to best . Risk and Sector not an issue. Keeping the remaining for long term.
Thanks

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. I am a little short on Industrials and am looking for a few ideas for me to do further research. I have a full position on WSP (trimmed it multiple times, having bought it at $36 in 2014). I also own CDZ, ZLB, ZWC, each having roughly 10% industrials.

Some initial ideas I have include CNR, TFII, and other stock and ETF ideas from you. I would prefer that you screen for having a dividend (>2%-?).

Thanks for your help....Steve

Q: Is this a buy on the pullback or time to exit?

Thank you!

Q: EOSE I would appreciate your thoughts on this battery storage company. They manufacture an industrial battery storage system that does not require rare earth minerals. They are gaining sales traction and just announced a massive ramp up of production capacity.

Thanks.

Q: Would you consider this an interesting way to participate in India's growth? If so, at what price would you start accumulating? Thanks

Q: Hated BEPC for so long as I was down for many years after buying during the big hype for renewables when Biden was elected. Now, kicking myself for not buying more at the lows. My question is whether this has now run too high. Is there still a place for traditional oil and gas/nat gas in one's portfolio or for a young person (20's) should these be replaced with BEPC? Thoughts and buy price, please. Thank you!

Q: Hi,
Have 1.3% in VHI and 0.9% in WELL. If you had to consolidate into one position, which would you choose? WELL has been frustrating as it goes on these big runs and then pulls back and can't seem to get any traction, whereas VHI seems more of a steady long term compounder that is in a nice uptrend which has pulled back and looks like a good opportunity to add now. Would you continue to diversify and hold both or consolidate now and just hold VHI?

Also have small positions <1% in TVE and WCP and would like to consoidate. Is the difference in whether an investor wants more growth (TVE) or income (WCP)? Which one do you see having more growth going forward? Already own TOU. Thank you!

Q: Thank you for your time.

I have some money to invest in my TFSA.
Should I be looking at an ETF in the Nasdaq 100, the Russel 2000 , an International or emerging market for potential upside?
Could you please supply a few suggestions.
I am in my 70s and this money will be left to my children.
