Investment Q&A

Q: Which of these companies do you think have the best growth potential going forward for a long term hold, looking at their current valuation, fwd rev and earnings growth rates, etc.. How would you rank them? Thanks!

Q: If you were going to have a USD Income Portfolio, what would your top 10 equities and how would you rank them. How important is annual dividend increases?

Q: When you call them an expensive sector that is not so safe for investing until investors re-consider the valuations. When you compare their PE'S with what is being held in the growth portfolio i have to call this the expensive sector and maybe not so safe sector. I feel this market is not that safe until, inflation is under control, interest rates finish rising, covid is under control in China, supply chain issues are fixed, high oil prices, and the war in Russia. The market cannot fight all of the above.

Q: Numerous US stocks are now showing low PE's and high yields; Citi for example.
What would be your top 3 yield focussed picks for the medium term (3-5 years)?
i.e. safe dividend going forward currently paying well above its normal yield ?

Q: Hi 5i,

I was looking forward to the US part of the answer to Aleem’s recent question.

Specifically, can I get your two top US picks for each of consumer cyclical, consumer defensive and industrials based on current valuation and long-term growth.

Thanks as always,

Kevin

Q: HD seems to have been on a slide lately, would Lowes be a better prospect in this space?

Q: Hi
In response to David's question today, you said that mega-cap tech is a sector that should perform well in recessionary environments. can you give some examples of stocks or ETFs. Also, you recommended consumer staples. Would you be comfortable buying consumer staples at these high prices?
thanks for your help

Q: Could you please comment on the huge decline in HD in the last three months. Your comments continue to recommend it, in what time frame would you see it move in a positive direction? Thank you,
Maria

Q: I'm considering a minimum 5 year investment in one of these two companies and I would appreciate if you could talk me out of it. If I'm not swayed by your argument, which one would you choose and why? Thanks.

Q: Good morning. I am looking to add a new US dividend growth stock to my RRSP. My top contenders are Costco, Home Depot and McDonald's. What would be your top choice today? Do you have any better suggestions (stocks or REIT's)? Thank you.

Q: Good Morning. I am selling off some of my more volatile US tech stocks in my RRIF and am looking to redeploy the proceeds into US stable Dividend payors. Can you please suggest 5 or 6 US Dividend stocks ( other than US Tech) to look at? Thanks

Q: Dear 5i,
At todays prices, March 15, 2022 are these good valuation for TFSA and
+3 year hold? If yes, which one would you prefer and why?
Can you help explain why historically HD trades at a higher PE than LOW
even though historical EPS seems better with LOW?
thanks

Q: Could I have your opinion on HD please. Would you consider it a buy at today's price, approx. $315? Thanks. Rick

Q: We know uncertainty helps the markets drop. With Russia saying they are drawing back troops and NATO and USA say they are building up, one could anticipate uncertainty ahead. With this in mind, is there any advice for which type of stock might be the best to buy on a future dip?

Q: I've done well with HD in a registered account over the last couple of years. That said, I'm seeing growth slowing and am contemplating switching to RH. On a scale of 1-10 (from less to more) , can you please rate each company for risk and growth over the next 12-18 months? Thank you.

Q: Hi!

I'm looking to establish a U.S. portfolio and I've identified these 5 stocks as a good base. I have plenty of exposure to financials and energy in my CDN portfolio. Do you think these stocks are a good starting point? Would you replace any?

Thanks,
Jason

Could you compare HD and RH's fundamentals a bit. What are your thoughts on RH's massive drop and your preference between the two.

thx, M

Q: I am wondering what you think of Home Depot for writing covered calls as part of an on going cash flow enhancement strategy.
Along those lines I am wondering what factors you would look for in a stock for a strategy such as this?
Many thanks.
Mike

Q: Favorite (hammered) growth stock that pays a divy? Bit of bottom-fishing for a long term hold. Thanks Ron
