Investment Q&A

Q: What are your top 5 Canadian and US Dividend Stocks (> 3%). Could you also indicate good entry points.

Thank you
Tim

Q: What is your long term view on these two companies? Is their structure, management, and financial condition such that holding on to them makes sense?
Do you have replacement suggestions that will likely surge ahead in more promising market conditions? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i. I hope all is well and you took a break at Easter.
I have noticed in the G&M that john heinzl reports on a dividend portfolio. I like his sense of humor on Stars & Dogs but I really wonder about his dividend hog portfolio. The same newspaper lets me create portfolios for comparison. I started with the same about of money (about $116K) and pretended to invest in October 2017 like he did. I made three one ETF portfolios. Made one portfolio with ETF HXT, One with VDY and One with WXM. All three of these one ETF portfolios beat JH’s significantly and WXM was a clear winner beating it by about $50K i.e., turning $116K into about $200k from Oct 2017 to now. The other two ETFs were not far behind. $50K can pay for a few dinners!
My question is whether you see any issues with WXM in the current investment environment and with the above comparisons.
Thanks as usual for this great service and patience with my questions. Thanks Danny-boy

Q: May I have your thoughts on $TRI

Q: Hi Peter
this stock has caught fire in a upward momentum
in the last 2-3 weeks
are there any news or fundamental reasons ?

I am still under water , around 10% loss, should I exit
or hold on if there is good prospect for a 1-2 years time horizon?, it does pays a dividend which helps
thanks
Michael

Q: I own prefered share ETFs in a diversified revenue/dividend RRSP portfolio.those ETF are at loss(10-20%) and at a lowest annual stock value.I did believe that those ETF would bring a least , a certain stability,wich is obviously not the case.I shall keep those ETF if there were a reasonnable probability of returning to previous values (+10%..),and sell them if more downtrend is expected.In this perspective,your impression as "hold","sell"(or eventually "buy" !)will be greatly appreciated.

Q: Hi folks, what do you think the chances of the proposed acquisition of BV glazing not being approved by regulators according to the competition act?
Thanks and good day

Q: What is the risk reward of buying WHR at $134?

Is the payout that generates a 5.4% yield at this price likely to be sustained and grow?

It has been beaten up …. So is this an opportunity / case example to buy during the darkest days/ when everyone else is selling?

Thanks.

Q: I have small positions in Chorus Aviation, North West Health Care, Lightspeed and Topicus; I'm down in all - and wondering how much patience is warranted - and considering Nuvei. Could you rate these in terms of possible upside and when one might expect this?

Thanks,

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan, In a TFSA if you could hold only one of theses BAM or BN which one would it be and why. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i
I would like to replace AEM in my LIF account with another basic material holding. My goal is growth. Both NTR and WFG are looking interesting now. Could you give your opinion of which would likely be the better play for a long term. With the pending slow down/recession would you switch now or wait?
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

A 5i member (Rajeev) stated in a recent question that he had an overweight core ownership of Constellation Software. We agree with you about the benefits of keeping the "free" TOI and LMN shares we received from these CSU spinoffs. However, does your answer imply that since we are presently overweight in Technology (largely because of CSU) should we consider reducing exposure to CSU? This would be a very hard thing to do, so it's a dilemma, to say the least!

As always, thanks for your insight.

Q: Do you have any information as to what their, all in expenses per oz. of gold is.

Q: Is this a buy?

Q: I just noticed that someone already asked the same question as me regarding the US dollar reserve currency standing.
The only question I still have is if the above changed to say the China Yaun backed by gold, would all Western currencies take a big hit?

thanks,

Paul

Q: Hello, after 2/3 weeks of trading, Lumine shares flirted with a low of $14 and now appears have bounced back above $15.50. Trading volume also appears be declining now. ( Initial few days traded a few millions shares each day ). Do you think, selling by Index funds/ETF's is almost done ? if so, would you still wait to buy/add until shares trade down to $12.50 - $13.50 level or $14 could be the near term floor ? Thank You
