Investment Q&A

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

Q: What are the unloved companies that have strong businesses - ones that are poor short-term but good long term? I'm planning on buying a few t5ax-loss candidates.

Q: Regardless of sector, please suggest 5 or so each Cdn and US holdings that would expect to average an 8%+ return per year including dividend and capital appreciation (can be company or ETF, but for ETF should consider fee) for 10 year hold. Thank-you!

Q: Hi 5i team,

What would be your current 5 best (highest conviction) buys in each of the following categories please.
1. small cap
2. mid cap
Hold target is 3-10 years or longer.
I prefer these categories as they seem to have the most torque (in the right environment) albeit also the most risk.


Cheers,
Steve

Q: Admittedly, I am not a patient investor. I am disenchanted with Boyd and have to believe that either or all of the other equities mentioned above (which I am not fully invested in) should be a better investment for the medium/long term. Could you please comment on this and suggest the equities, in order of growth expectation, I could replace Boyd with.
Thanks,

Q: Hello to you! I know these are different companies at different stages of their cycles. You very recently suggested BYD, and have relatively recently recommended the other two stocks. Would you be able to rank them in order of preference if you bought them today? I'm looking for the best midterm to long-term growth. I love the service, thank you!

Q: Can you please give me your current opinion on Goodfellow potential. Will they be in a position to pay dividend ms in coming year? What is their growth potential in current macro environment of reducing interest rates? How would they compare to your favorite small cap industrial companies? Is it worth investing in at the moment or best left alone for greener pastures?

Q: I would like to set up a concentrated balanced portfolio of 6 Canadian value and 6 growth companies. I'm looking for the very best companies Canada has to offer, currently. I realize you have a balanced portfolio but I'm looking for the companies that are poised to do the best in the current ecomonic environment. As always, thanks for your much appreciated advice.

Q: Good morning,

Both BYD and TFII seem to be strong compounding industrial 'transportation' stocks that have stalled for awhile. I seem to recall that TFII is expecting a weak Q3/Q4 before beginning to ramp up again. I'd like to get into TFII but am not sure if it's worth waiting for a further drop in 2024.

Could you please give a quick comparison of the two stocks, including which one you think will grow more quickly in the near/long-term, including suggested entry prices?

Thank you!

Q: Hello 5i
Can you please give me the expected growth rate for these companies over the next 1-2 years.
Secondly, if you had to raise cash which order would you trim or sell outright?
Thank you so much for all your help!

Q: Thanks for answering both of my questions on ATS and BYD earnings. In reviewing past answers on these 2 companies it seems to me that this in not the first 'disappointing' quarter they have had.

They seem to be in a slump on earnings and in performance which naturally follows.

ATS -31% year to date and -30 for 1 year.

BYD -18% year to date and -3% for 1 year.

Both significantly lagging the S&P and QQQ.

How much longer will you give these 2 in your portfolios before they are replaced?

If you were to replace them today with good quality US stocks with good performance numbers, which would they be?

Thanks
