Investment Q&A

Q: Could you suggest some US dividend stocks that you think are a buy right now and that may do well over the next year. Thanks

Q: Good morning,

I know there are risks with owning Verizon right now, but with another recent dividend increase (now 17 consecutive years of increases), forward PE ~ 7.0, and a dividend yield approaching ~ 8%, do you think there is merit in buying for an income investor?

Q: I'm up over 200% on CELH (thanks!) and although I don't see any red flags, I think it's time to trim back from an 11% holding. I've had LMN on my watch list for some time, do you think trimming CELH and buying LMN would give me a similar growth profile stock? Does LMN also trade on the US markets so I could keep my currency in USD?

Q: What are your top 4-5 picks (stocks or ETFs) for an RRSP with a 15-20 year horizon?

Thanks,

Q: Hi 5i,

I want to add 1 of the following consumer related US companies to an income portfolio with some growth:

COST (good growth, very small dividend)
WMT (good growth, small dividend)
AMZN (Good growth, No dividend)
KVUE (good products, good dividend, not as much growth)

Please review them, rank them in order of preference for a long term hold. If you have a better alternative, please include it.

Please deduct 5 credits, 1 for each company and 1 for the other possibility.

I look forward to your review.
John

Q: As a follow up to my question on Target. What would be a replacement for it? I am a dividend investor with some growth stocks. I aleady have NWC, PEP, PBH and PG. Should I just add to NWC as it is low right now with the 4% dividend, add equally to these or is there a particualr peference of another such as KO?

Q: As a dividend growth investor, with plan of living off of dividends well into retirement over the next 5 to 25 years (based on start of retirement and life expectancy assuming average Canadian life span), REGARDLESS OF SECTOR, what are your SAFEST and STRONGEST dividend paying stocks (with an equal emphasis on safety of dividend and strongest being quality of company).

thanks

Ernie

Q: Please suggest a list of 10 US stocks that would be suitable to implement a covered call income portfolio. I plan to use one month options. Thank you!

Q: If the story going forwards is persistent inflation would PEP or GIS be good plays, or would you have other suggestions?
Thanks

Q: I did reorganise my portfolios in 2022 for a majority of diversified dividend ETFs and a minority of selected excellent dividend stocks.This strategy was satisfactory ,and I shall not sell this content in 2023.My strategy in 2023 will consider the possibility of a bear market,I shall only " add-on" some stocks on weakness .Could you list 10 canadian+10 us stocks ( not ETFs), among the safest in a bear market in your opinion,including 7 dividend stocks+3 growth stocks for each list,and rank them for safety if possible,many thanks,JY

Q: I've been looking for an addition to the US side of my tfsa, sort of looking at the following (bn tri qlcm blk bac) but would appreciate any other suggestions, looking for growth with dividends, if possible, buy and hold investor and can take volatility.

Q: Hi 5i,
I am turning 72 and moving from an RRSP to a RIF and think this portfolio should be more orientated towards income.

In that light I wonder if you could suggest some replacement stocks for the non dividend paying TMUS and DIS on the US side of my RIF? Thanks as usual for you help.
David

Q: COST/PEPWhich would you recommend for growth and yield?

Did you have another you prefer? Do you have someone on the Canadian side you might suggest?

Much thanks

Q: Hi everyone at 5i!
I am up 370% with my stock in NVDA and would like to trim a third of the stock. With the proceeds I would like to add to a portfolio holding AWK, BRKB, BX,COST,EMR, ISRG RSP. QQQ. JPM MDT MSFT, NVDA , PEP, PG, O , VZ, V, WM . I am looking for two or three stock suggestions that would round out this list for growth or growth and income.

Q: Hello 5i
I am up $10,000 in the above companies and with 35 others I am up $125,000 in total in a $1,000,000 portfolio. Previously before the downturn I was up $800,000. I am a 77 year old value investor with a good pension.
Question: Should I take the $125,000 off the table, put it in an Oaken savings account at 3.4% and leave the rest invested?
thank you
Stanley

Q: Would either one of these companies be worthwhile taking a position in today? We have owned Pepsi several years ago and we’re happy with it then.
Thanks

Q: What would be your top 5 US and Canadian Dividend Stocks with good outlook for growth as well.

Thanks
Tim

Q: For my TFSA which would you pick between Pepsico or Apple?

Q: Hi Guys,

What do you think of my 12 stocks that are performing poorly in a hot market like we're in so far this yr.

Is it the sectors they're in or are have they peaked and are expensive.

Buy more, trim or sell them all ?

Do you add to these or sell them?

🇨🇦DOL,WCN,MRU,IFC,CNR,CCA,ATD

🇺🇸ABT,WM,PEP,CI,MRK

Thank you & Happy New yr!

Q: The initial investment on these and others has doubled. I do not require the funds immediately. I know these are outstanding companies. Each makes up 2% to 3% of the portfolio that is up by 10.5%. In this environment do you still abide by the statement "let the winners run", even to this extent. Should they be trimmed back to the initial cost, or should they be replaced? There are sixty positions in the portfolio balanced through all 11 sectors. I am a 77 year old dividend value investor.
Thank you for all your great input
Stanley
