Investment Q&A

Q: Dividend investor interested in long-term dividend growth. I know you like both TIH and BAM. I can only initiate a position in one of these today, which gets the slight nod today? For long-term hold.

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have held DFY for awhile and have doubled my investment. Experience has taught me to take some money off the table when one of my stocks has reached this point. I'm thinking about selling 1/3 of the position and reinvesting the rest in 2 or 3 of the following stocks:

I have partial positions in BCE, EIF, NWC, WCN and X
I have full positions in T and TD and open to averaging down

My questions are:

1) Would you trim a position in DFY given current market conditions?

2) How do you currently rank the 7 other stocks listed

3) Would you add to existing positions in T and/or TD given their current outlooks or look elsewhere?

These are a held in a TFSA and are planned to be 15-20 year holds

Thanks for the Great Service and Happy New Year!

Colin

Q: May I have your thoughts on this company please?

Q: We are at equal weight, full positions [2 O&G stocks, 2 midstream]. Our goals are dividend growth, some capital appreciation. My question is whether we should overweight midstream over O&G stocks given 1. macro/ political [Trump tariff threat and preference for lower O&G prices], and 2. data centre demand.

Q: TSU is one of my worst investments. It never seems to get any traction. With most of my other investments especially coming into the last few weeks of 2024 have been doing very good! Why does TSU continue to take it on the chin so to speak?

Q: I am only interested in holding Canadian Long Term Compounders. I am looking for companies with decent ROIC, ROE and good balance sheets and preferably owner/operators with skin in the game. In the Canadian space of my portfolio I hold CSU, ATD and TFII. My question is could you provide to me 10 small and mid cap Canadian names that you would feel would make the best long term compounders to hold for at least 5-10 years.

Q: Can I get an updated outlook on Hash

Q: What are your thoughts of CHTR pre-merger and post merger with liberty global, thanks.

Q: When you have time ......... copper stocks have been soft of late and I assume this is in response to the EV sector which has been under pressure - yet my understanding is that the grid sorely needs upgrading, which I assume requires new copper lines, while some of the other participants in the electrical sector have done well which suggests a buoyant sector. So I am confused as future demand in particular appears to exceed available supply - and Dr Copper has underperformed the market. What is the outlook for copper?

Q: It’s been bought out. Will there be a higher take out price? Bidding war? Do I just ket the transaction play out in my account? Hold? Sell?

Q: can you help me understand their profitability health in their leases and years remaining. looks like blackrock is a big owner any red flags

Q: Why the big bounce today??

Q: ETF investing is new to me. I have invested a bit of monies with Harvest etf in the last couple of months. Could I have your opinion on Harvest please. Are some of their funds better than others? Are their leveraged funds really risky. Do you like a better company and if so why?
Just renewed membership. It is getting too many to count. Thanks for your advice Ken

Q: I've owned IQLT for a few years now. I've noticed that the VEA top holdings are quite similar to IQLT, but at a significantly reduced MER. Is it really worth paying that much more to continue to hold IQLT? Maybe you have better insight on the differences between the two than I do (?)

Q: I'm asking for 5i's opinion on your current (5) best asset-light company ideas - Canadian and / or American - that have:

- financial stability

- strong competitive position today and into the future

- in a sector that is not threatened by disruption

- attractive valuation at today's prices

Hopefully not a lot to ask. Thanks for your service.

Q: What are your 3 best picks for near term growth of US oil and gas E&P for both large cap and mid cap stocks ?

Q: Operating metrics (FCF, ROE, margins, etc.) for PAYX seem quite strong - it seems to be an asset-light business, dividend grower and compounder. However, it's at the same price as 3 years ago and has been underperforming the S&P for the same period. Am I missing something? What are your thoughts for PAYX and is it worthwhile for initiating a position at some level you would suggest?

Q: I have these companies in equal amounts in my TFSA.With an additional $18k to invest,which ones would you add to at this time or would you prefer others. I am 74 and plan to live to be 100,which is my mother’s age! I hope to eventually shoot my age(golf).
Thank your exceptional advice and Happy New Year,

Q: what do you think about the potential of this company and do you know why the big price drop today?

Q: Considering to initiate a position into Draftking. Which one do you prefer between it and Flutter and why?

Happy mew year to all the team and others members!
