Investment Q&A

Q: Hello,

I just started subscribing to your service in October which began my journey in to the stock market. While I get started I have decided to mimic your growth portfolio and spread out $25k over those stocks. I tried to follow the weighting of the portfolio at the time. I now have an additional $15k to invest in my TFSA and was hoping you could suggest the following:

1. Which 10 stocks in the growth portfolio should I add to right now? I don’t want to split my buy too finely across all stocks in the portfolio. My strategies are consistent with the overall goals of the portfolio.

2. Thinking of the same strategies in the growth portfolio, what are 3 US stocks that I should newly acquire?

3. What are two stocks that I could acquire for a short term 2-3 month hold?

Thanks very much. Have really enjoyed your service.

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! It has been reported that the UK is designing a few model homes which use hydrogen for heating and powering appliances . Are there any notable companies in North America that are working on Hydrogen as an energy alternative that maybe worth while investing in? Cheers, Tamara

Q: It was mentioned on a recent CityTv show that 2021 residential real estate would be hot in British Columbia (of course) and New-Brunswick(!). I own some residential Reits (IIP/CAR/Minto), but not likely focused in these areas. Do you know where I could find the beakdown of business by provinces/sectors (Retail/Industrial/..) for Canadian Reits? Or which Reits operate in NB (KMP may be?) And BC ? Thanks.

Q: My question is about how VIRT would do in a sell off or a bout of volatility. I have been reading that they would do well with increased volatility because trading frequency would increase. This would suggest that it might offer some hedging benefits. I am intrigued but skeptical of this thesis because in a serious drawdown my experience is that people just kind of sell everything and VIRT would hardly come up as something to hold on to unlike say gold or even a utility. Can I have your thoughts please? Thank-you.

Q: Thankyou for your continued confidence in CSU and Bam.A. I have held them both for many years through ups and downs, and have made a lot of money. What would be your next two favorite Canadian stocks with similar growth and risk, for a minimum 10 year hold.

Q: Hi 5i
Now that Fastly has had earnings annoucement stock is down -12%. In your opinion does it still have more to move down or would you be OK with initiating a small position 2 for 1-2 year hold at current price.
How do you view current earning?
Thx

Q: Do you have any insight to why Thnk ‘s stock price has been dropping?

Q: I’m looking at Hydrogen & Clean Energy ETF’s. Can you rank these 3 BLDP, FCEL, & BE ? Also looking at ICLN ETF. What are your thoughts on all 3 as well as the ETF. Thanks.

Q: If you had to pick 5 ETFs to fill an RRSP, for an investor with a 20+ year timeframe, which would you choose? To add a little context, mid 30's with a TFSA geared towards growth and I am comfortable with risk in that account. I also have a business account where I hold blue chip dividend paying stocks. Comfortable with risk in the RRSP as well but trying to find the sweet spot in between these two accounts.

Q: I would like your analysis and opinion on both companies and what your thoughts are on them as a more speculative buy. How are they situated financially and is their product something that could be in demand? I believe NEO does have a dividend.
Thank you John
