Q: Can you please provide recommendations for three US and 3 Canadian consumer cyclicals, with the strongest conviction names noted first? Medium risk-tolerance, with a preference for a longer-term hold (3-5 years).
On a related note, I already own PLC and am considering swapping it out for ATZ. Can you please rate these two stocks for growth and risk?
Q: I am underweight in the technology sector with half positions in CSU, TOI and REAL. I have a well diversified balanced portfolio. Please recommend 2 or 3 CDN technology stocks with a good growth outlook, and rank your choices. I'd like a brief rationale for your number one choice.
Q: I have a full position in CNR in my cash account and a 1/2 position of TFII in my TFSA. My plan is to sell down my CNR and increase TFII as my annual contribution limits permit. Good plan?
Q: What are your top safe dividend paying stocks? Only interested in the dividend and want to protect capital as much as possible. Looking to park some money for a while. Safety is the prime concern.
Q: I read Peter's article on "Five summertime US stocks picks to set and forget" and great article by the way. I wonder if Peter would have 5 Canadian stocks picks that I could set and forget for the summertime. Tnx.
Q: I live and Calgary and have spoken to quite a few people in the industry and they are saying similar information.
Essentially that declines in wells are going to out stripe the demand in the next year creating more demand then supply. Many companies around here have been underinvesting in new production due to the market conditions.
I am quite cautious on oil and gas companies as they haven't performed well over the last 7 years.
Are these people overly optimistic or is there a potential trade and opportunity to go up to 10% weighting in Oil and Gas?
If so, do you think CPG, WCP, and MEG would be good exposure?
Q: To my knowledge both of these companies are in the specialty insurance business. Given that TSU is wholly owned by BAM.A (3.5% of my overall holdings; overlap concerns?), which do you prefer for a conservative investor and why. What would be their outlook considering an post-COVID opening world and over the next 5 yrs? Is there another name you prefer more in this specialty space?
Q: Could I have some information on this company. What they do and whether the dividend is sustainable, and how much of the dividend is return of capital. Many tnx.
Q: Hi team,
The Economist (june 5th) reports on EV companies vying to compete with Tesla. It reports that a Chinese co. is now selling EV in Norway.
What are your views on these companies ?
Gratefully,

Q: Do you feel today is a good entry point for the big Canadian banks? Would you please rank them in order of preference at current valuations. Also, please do similarly for US banks. Please deduct question credits at your discretion.
Q: Hello,
I have sold ZEM in my CDN RRSP account. I am going to transfer these funds to my USD RRSP. Which ETF would be an equal replacement for my USD RRSP keeping in mind tax efficiencies? I would like the US ETF to be as similar as possible to ZEM.
Q: I've just read your email regarding the upcoming changes to your website and fees. What's the difference between "5i membership" and "basic bundle"?
Q: Hello 5i, a report from RBC came out this morning with their ''need to have'' tech companies. Their Outperform ratings were on COUR, DBX, DCT, DOCU, JCOM, PEGA, TWLO and PEGA. Are you familiar with those companies and could you please mention your (2) favourites of the list and why? I own DOCU and TWLO already. If your preference is the same, it'll be a relief. If they aren't, I would open a new position since I have room for another one in terms of my allocation. Much appreciated, thank you.
Q: Hi there , how safe is FSZ for its dividend and the stability of its share price ? (inverse of volatility) , when compared with a "utility" like BCE. if BCE is 10, in a scale of 1 to 10 , FSZ would be ?
