Q: Good Morning. Have looking for an entry into TFII. Based on what I have seen analyst are forecasting good earning growth over the next three years and with a current PE below 19, the future prospects seem good. I guess the overhang of a possible recession would put a damper on everything. Any perspective to help me assess risk reward into TFII would be appreciated. 3-5 years time horizon.

Thank you,
Frank

Q: Hi

I'm looking to invest $5K/month in an equity fund. You previously sided with VEQT for its history and slightly better long term returns versus ZEQT.

However, I can buy ZEQT for free, whereas I'm charged $10 a trade for VEQT.

Would saving the $120/year in fees be short sighted if VEQT will appreciate more in the long run? Or will the $120/year add up to even it out?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: Hello, I would like your opinion of BCE. I have had a position in BCE, on and off, since 1996. I sold it last year for tax-loss reasons, bought and sold it again twice since for tax-loss reasons again, riding it from 48$ to 29$ recently. From June 26th, I will be able to buy it again after 30 days, probably at or below my last selling price. I suspect I suffer from « official » loss aversion by wanting to buy it again instead of moving on and buy something else, like BTB REIT, for income (like BCE), for less capital and the same income without income tax as a bonus. So, if I were a potential new investor in BCE, for income and some growth, would you recommend it for a long term hold? Are the dividend cut and PSP investment enough to lift BCE out of its hole? Thanks!

Q: I like Daniel Drimmer and have made some good gains with his companies. I re-purchased a small position in TNT.UN after selling the previous variant into a takeout offer, if my memory serves. My question: Is TNT.UN worth a long term hold? Is the strategy of taking its lumps by stopping the dividend until recently going to lead to future growth?

Q: I hold a small position in BCE. My thinking is that other than the dividend (yield), it is pretty much "dead" money for the foreseeable future. I could replace it with Telus, but I'm not impressed with its performance over the last few years. Taking sector & industry out of the equation, are there some other stocks that you like better [preferably with the potential for growth / share price appreciation & a (growing) dividend] that trade around the same price as BCE or less? Thanks once again for your great service.

Q: With the passage of bill C-5, many expect projects regarding roads, electric grids, pipelines and railways, will be expedited. Could you pls comment on the following companies, if they stand to benefit and would you recommend investing in each

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

What do you make of this from the Globe & Mail for Friday, June 20? “CRTC upholds decision allowing large telecoms to resell internet services on each other’s networks”

This decision looks like it will benefit Telus. I recently sold BCE at a loss because I had lost all confidence in their ability to turn things around, especially by keeping their current CEO. However, we still hold Telus and a small amount of Quebecor. Do you think that the CRTC decision could negatively impact QBR.B?

If so, I’m considering selling it and deploying the proceeds to T, to stay in the same sector. QBR.B has given us a nice return in the short time we’ve owned it. Your thoughts?

You recently answered my question about Ts plans to improve infrastructure by spending 70 billion dollars over the next five years. Is it possible that the CRTC decision could mitigate some or all of the risk caused by this planned expenditure?

Thanks as always for your insight.

Q: hi

Q: WELL is currently 1.3% of our portfolio. Your most recent comment put WELL in the "show me" category. With the price currently sitting close to the 52 week low and only a 1.3% position, do you think it would be worth another small nibble - either for a long term hold, or as a swing trade? Or better to just sit tight?

Thanks.

Q: Thoughts on Legacy Education Inc. on the NYSE for a 3-5 year hold?

Q: I’ve held BIP-UN for a long time in my TFSA and RIF accounts and done well with the stock with growth plus a nice dividend. Lately the stock seems to be stuck in the $45.00 range. Looking to divest half position and replace with ALA/KEY or going to more of a growth stock like DFY. Another possibility it to buy more of BN. I currently have half position in both BN and BAM.
If you have any other suggestion I’ll consider that too.
Thanks for all the past help to create a nice balanced account.

Q: Hi, I got in when it was supposedly cheap, at about $12.80. It's now hovering at around $8. As a non-resident, selling for tax losses doesn't apply. As you wrote recently that you're not fans of investing to break even, do you have any opinions on possible moves? Sell some at a loss to invest in better stocks, hold for a while and see what happens with tariffs, hold for a longer period of time as this is a good stock and we'll pay off over the next couple years? Thank you for your time.
