Q: Good morning 5i
I ignored Warren Buffer’s advice to never invest in airlines and I have been holding onto that small amount of Southwest Airlines waiting for it to make a comeback. Long wait. But, i see it starting to edge up on a fairly steady basis lately. That has me wondering whether i should buy a bit more. But, maybe belated, i am pretty gunshy of airlines. Maybe i would be better to put that money elsewhere. Wondering what your prognosis is for a company like Southwest? Buy more or look elsewhere?
Thanks

Q: Long investor trying my best to hang in there in with some of my dog stocks. Down significantly in Matterport 85%. Guardant Health 29%. Canada Goose 45%. Inmode 40%. Southwest Airlines 40%. Viemed 32%.
My 5i membership has been a stalwart of sound reason over the years, and I’ve appreciated your take on some companies that nose dive, but you feel are worthy of hanging onto, even if it takes a year or more. (ROKU and PINS spring to mind). With some potential tax loss harvesting coming up, which of the following would you think could be a re-buy, and which could be saluted and sent off to oblivion after the sale? I’m consigned now to doing either.

Q: A family member would like to build a US dollar portfolio with US stocks. My thought would be to do it along the lines of the 5iR Cdn Balance Portfolio. For example, JPMorgan would be the US stock for the BNS. With this in mind, and being able to tolerate risk and for a long-term intention, like 10 years, what would you suggest the 15+ position US portfolio would look like?....Thanks...Tom

Q: Hi Peter and Team
With the expectation that both the Canadian and US markets should do well for the next two years, can you suggest 5 CDN and 5 US stocks to consider for long term purchase in reasonably well balanced registered portfolios (RRIF and TFSA) that now have significant (>15%) cash positions. Thanks for the ongoing support.

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Wondering if you think it's still worth putting some money into the re-opening trade via one of the airlines. I'm considering reducing my position in REAL in order to do so. Although REAL is relatively cheap right now, its price trend is still moving lower. I know you like Southwest Airlines, but Air Canada's share price is nowhere near pre-pandemic levels, while LUV is already there. I have been reluctant to invest in the airlines, as I'm convinced that business travel will never return to the same levels. Many companies have finally realized it's often unnecessary and that cost-effective, technology-based alternatives are preferred. However, I think the pent-up leisure travel demand will likely make up for this on a short-term basis. Can I please have your thoughts?
Thank you.
Brad

Q: Dear Peter and Ryan.
I am confident in global recovery after deployment of the vaccines and would like to allocate fund to Recovery play in my RRSP. It is long term investment but it would be nice to see some gain in the short term too. Can you please recommend a few companies or ETF in CAD or USD?

Thank you,
Yiwen

Q: I would like to start a position in 2-3 companies that should have a nice boost as the travel industry resumes. It could be US or Canada. Can you suggest 4-5 to look at please?
Also, is there an etf that would embody my theme and would benefit as the industry comes back?
Thanks as always for your great advice.
