Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Folks,

I am an income investor whose portfolio has fallen out of balance.

I need to increase weights in Basic Materials, Consumer Cyclical, Consumer Defensive, Healthcare, Industrials and Tech..

I am also light on U.S and International holdings.

Please provide some income suggestions for these industries and within these regions.

Thanks very much.

Q: I just opened up a U.S. -TFSA. Could you pls provide me with approximately 4 U.S. companies that would suit this and advise why you would recommend them. Any sector is fine. I have very little healthcare, I like tech, but am open to your suggestions. Looking for stablility and have a approx. 8 yr time frame.
Thank you so much - you are indeed the guiding light for many out there with our investments!

Q: Good morning Peter, Ryan and Team,

What US companies would you be putting new TSFA money into for 10 year hold? Assume a diversified portfolio and trying to get high growth for TSFAs.

Thank you,

Wes

Q: Would you please suggest 2 US and 2 Canadian stocks that hold promise in short to medium term for my daughter's RESP ? Thanks.

Q: Please compare JCI and TT and state your preference if you have.
I would like a similar comparison for CSIQ and FSLR.
Deduct the appropriate number of questions.
Thanks for this help and the other information you have provided over the years.

Q: I apologize as I should have asked for some US names in my original question about stocks for my Smith Manoeuvre. 2/3 would be in an unregistered account and 1/3 in a TFSA? Would you be able to please provide 8-9 US names as well in order of your preferred ranking of what to buy first and which ones preferred for TFSA. Thanks again

Q: With the streaming boom and OTT advertising hype, is SEAC on your radar at all? recent news Dec 21 expanding platform seemed to be interesting... very risky of course.

Also noticed some new growth names coming up specifically MITK and TT, can you expand on why these are perking your interest?

Q: Happy New Year to the 5i team.

I was hoping to get some feedback about how about to allocate about 11% of my total portfolio that is otherwise well-balanced and is made up of a mixture of Canadian dividend and large-cap stocks, and US and international ETF's.

These purchases will be in my TFSA and I am seeking greatest total return for the next 5-10 years. I am not afraid of risk but am also looking at sound investments rather than speculative purchases or quick trades.

I currently own GH, ISRG, LSPD and XBC and would like to add 4-5 more names. On my short list are the following: CRWD, MITK, ROKU, TTD, TT, U, VEEV and XYL.
Are there any from that list that you think match up well with my existing stocks? Alternatively, if you think there are better names that I haven't mentioned please advise.

Thanks in advance for all the great work you do,
Rory

Q: What are your top us and canadian stock picks for growth that you would buy today.

Q: A Happy, Healthy, Peaceful and Prosperous New Year to 5i team!

As you folks are good in identifying the trends with momentum, what are the 2 sectors that you feel have the best momentum now , going into 2021. For the next 6 months to a year?
Your selections for these sectors?
US;Canada;and the Rest of the world.
Thank you!

Q: What would be your top 3 non-tech US growth stocks? Thanks

Q: Thinking of doing something new - Add US stocks to TFSA.
As of now, this account has a balance/growth Cdn stock tilt, like the ones in the 5iR portfolios. Read on 5iR, best to include no dividend or low dividend US stocks. Question - is there a rule of thumb or range for holding US stocks in TFSA or is it all just personal? 
Another question - for longer term holds in TFSA, what US stocks would you consider?
High 5 for the guidance!!!....Tom

BEPC-3.55%: CRWD-3.42%: VFV-3.59%:VEEV-1.99%: VGG 3.95% for a total of approximately 17%. I would like to increase this to approximately 25%.
In addition to the above I own the following dual listed stocks.
LSPD-10.28%: SHOP-5%: T-3.61%
Moving cash from unregistered C$ to unregistered U$ account. Would you consider adding to any of the above or do you have an alternate suggestion,
In the portfolio I’m overweight tech & industrials.

Underweight materials and energy. Not a fan of oil or gold .

Roy

Q: Hi there,

If you were to build a US growth portfolio today of12 to 15 names, what names would you select?

Thanks!

Q: Hi,
Question 1: When do you plan to add the new positions in the growth portfolio? If you can't share that information, would you be able to share the short list of what you are considering?

Question 2: If you were able to add US positions what would they be?

Thanks again for your wonderful service and happy holidays.

Q: What are your preferred industrial stocks (or ETF) in the US?
Thanks for your service!

Q: According to Portfolio Analytics, I'm underweight in Industrial, Consumer Defensive, Utilities and Energy. Can you please give me three names to consider in each category? I'm also overweight in North America so, to the extent that there are good international names in these categories, please include them. I have a fairly long investment horizon: 5 years until my children hit post-secondary and 20-30 years before retirement.
Thanks.

Q: Two weeks ago I asked the following question below.

Can you please confirm that you meant Trane Technologies and not The Trade Desk. I know that the Trade Desk seems to be one of your favourites. Thank you.

Question:
We are looking to adds some US positions to our TFSA. We currently have AMD, DAL, DOCU, BRK-B, and ROKU. Could you suggest 5 growth names for long term holds that you would feel comfortable entering new positions in today? And would you add to ROKU at present? Thanks in-advance.

Answer:
We still like ROKU and thing it can move more. But we would keep weighting/risk in mind. It is the type of stock that moves quickly (both ways). We would suggest: CRWD, NVDA, VEEV, U, TT

Q: What is your current opinion/outlook on this company. If you had to switch it for another company in a portfolio, which would it be (can be US, you can suggest more than one, registered accound so no taxes implied in a switch)
