Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I think we might get an opportunity to buy o&g names at a discount soon as they are already pulling back out of fear of Trump tariffs, even though oil prices have been stronger. If you could only invest in 1 or 2 oil or gas names on the pullback, with the qualifier that its not a forever hold and I'm looking for something with decent torque to the upside when political worries go away, what names would you pick? As an example I'd probably avoid CNQ since it doesn't drop as much when oil is negative, but also doesn't go up as much when oil is positive. Thx

Q: I notice recently that Dollarama is often near the bottom of your "recommendation" list. I know its currently overvalued but its price has dropped significanly lately. Is there a reason why its near the bottom of your list, why its price is dropping, and at what price it would be a good "buy"?

Q: Jan 3, DOL was one of your top picks for Canadian stocks in 2025. Since that date all questions asking you to rate buys, DOL was always rated last. Please explain what you would do if had intended to hold the stock for another 3 years with a good embedded capital gain. Thank you

Q: Dear 5i
I currently hold VRT in my TFSA and was considering adding NBIS but was wondering if they are too similar in terms of what they do . If so could you recommend another smaller cap high growth stock instead .
Thanks

Q: Good Morning
You are recommending continuously DIR.UN as one of your favorite REITs.
I have noted that this Company has not increased their dividend since 2013.
Normally, we have been advised to avoid companies that have not increased their dividends for several years.
Isn't this fact a red flag that DIR.UN should be avoided ?
Thank you as always for your insight.

Q: As per Tom Czitron in today's Globe:

An index ETF of long-term bonds should perform well, especially one with U.S. bonds but with the currency hedged back to Canadian dollars.

Please comment Mr. Czitron' point and name your favorite ETFs if there are such any available currently.

Thanks

Yves

Q: I submitted this question on Sunday, so now re-submitting...

Asking this question for a friend who is relatively new to investing (and may be a future 5i client:-)

She has $200k in a non-registered account and is contemplating a balance of 75% US ETFs and 25% US equities, any sector. The account is growth-focused, moderate to medium risk; no funds will be withdrawn for 3-5 years. Given these parameters, please suggest 4 ETFs and 4 stocks she should consider. Thank you.

Q: Hi. After listening to a 5i podcast about 4 years ago - in May 2021? - I purchased Ultra Clean Holdings. Since then, I’ve pretty much been underwater with that holding by 30% or more (34+ % today). The stock did bounce, I think once, but it was short-lived and I’m still holding. What is in the cards for UCTT if you don’t mind answering a question on an American company. Thank you.
