Investment Q&A

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

Q: Both these companies shares seem to me, based on fundamentals - choose any - seem way over priced. SHOP especially is in the stratosphere in terms of valuation. What the heck am I missing? Do you have an in depth explanation that can convince me that I should own either using XIT ETF?

Q: Hi 5i team,
Looking to add 2 stocks (2-4% position) in my RRSP portfolio from the following (MG, KXS, CSU, GSY, WSP) for a holding period of 5-10 years, not too concerned about market volatility. Looking for quality company (good operator in his business, good balance sheet, etc…) with good growth potential.

What would be your top 2 picks from these and why ?

Thank you

Q: I am getting to an inflection point with Sylogist as my portfolio has grown but it has declined. I like to keep holdings at a 2% minimum so at this point do I sell or add to it? I am a long term investor. If the dividend is considered safe, I would consider adding new money and ride out the investor indifference although I know you generally don't like investing into a declining stock. I would consider this holding as higher risk within my portfolio but I would be comfortable staying with it as well.

Appreciate your insight.

Paul F.

Q: Suggestion for Derek on January 09, 2020. He wants to transfer funds to the US.
I use Transferwise to transfer from the UK to Canada. They have minimal fees and a much better rate. I don't know if it would work for larger amounts but it is far more economical on smaller amounts.
