Investment Q&A

Q: Seems 5i likes Trane, but you don't own it. May I ask why? Thanks Dan

Q: Hi 5i,

In some jurisdictions in British Columbia all new homes being built cannot use gas for heating and cannot use gas appliances for cooking.

Also in BC there is a new program allowing low and middle income earners to replace their gas and oil furnaces with heat pumps for virtually no cost to the homeowner.

There seems to be a small but growing segment that is going in this direction. Are there any companies (Canadian or U.S. or even International)that specialize in heat pumps (manufacturing, installation, and/or maintenance) that you would recommend as an investment at this time?

Would Trane or Honeywell fit this description?

If there are any, could you please rank them in order of preference on a scale of 1 to 10?

Thanks.

Q: In reference to your answer that we should consider being overweight the US at this time, can you give one US name in each sector for modest growth (not dividends) over the next few years? Please take as many credits as necessary with thanks.

Q: I am seeking a few ideas to deploy US dollars in both RRSP and TFSA for a balance hold approach, and dont need tech. Thank you

Q: Good morning, interested in your take on earnings and Outlook going forward Tia Mike

Q: Could you please provide 3-4 names of US companies that you buy now in each of the following sectors: Technology, communications, industrial, discretionary, and Materials.

Q: With the HVAC component in each of these companies, would there be too much overlap holding both?

Thanks.

Q: Can u pick your 3 best choices and why for a long term hold in this market area? Is it too concentrated to own all of them? Are there any CDN examples of these home builder companies you recommend?

Q: A recent comment of "But we do prefer higher-growth companies" than LNTH, which companies would you be referring to?

Thanks for your service!

Q: I have funds for 2 of the above. Please rank 1-4 in the order you would invest today for maximum growth over 5 years. If there is an industrial/materials that has yet to be discussed in the 5i pages that should be considered, then please include. Thanks

Q: Good Morning
These stocks are in my wife's US Riff account
What US stock or stocks would you recommend as an addition to this list?
She is overweight in both finance and tech in her Canadian Riff so looking for alternative suggestions with some growth and a modest dividend?
Thks
Marcel

Q: Good morning - I need more US exposure as I am overweight Canada. I will need to sell some/all of holdings I have in PBH, L, ATS, TOU, SU and EIF. I hate to sell any of these companies but someone's gotta go to raise cash. Taxes are not an issue. Can you suggest US companies that you would like just as much, which pay dividends and which will keep me in the realms of Industrial, Consumer Discretionary, Energy. Thank you.

Q: Some analysts I follow believe industrials will move as counties turn away from globalization . Reading through your previous answers you seemed to like ph and itw. I am looking for companies that already are positioned well and growing their earnings. Is there any other companies that could do well under this scenario ?

Q: Hi 5i, seems MG is pushing out some of their bets on EV and Autonomous trends, Do you still believe in their growth over the next 2 years after this quarter? I know they raised their divi, but I fear this stock may become a value trap. Also, please provide a few alternatives, no small caps please, either CAD or USD. Thx.

Q: I already hold a bit of TFII and WSP but would like more in industrials. I’m thinking of either adding to TFII or starting a position in STN or TT. Is there still good reason to add to TFII? If not, both STN and TT have good momentum, but as I already hold WSP, would TT make more sense?

Thanks.

Q: hi, i'm short on Industrials. can you provide your top 5 for hopefully a longer term hold. US and/or CDN companies only please. and what do you think of DAC:US now ( it apparently screens as 100 on the Starmine intrinsic valuation model ) ?
cheers, Chris

Q: I hold ROP HEI WSP ATS TFII AXON VRT in the industrial sector. 5i has also recommended TT TDG RTX and URI. I would like to sort out which could be sold [in whole or in part] and which could be added to. For a long-term hold, which could go and which would you advise to be the core for this sector.
Thanks

Q: I'm looking to add more US companies. Could you please give an answer to Larry's question but substitute 2 US companies per sector for 2024?

Q: You touted this stock some time ago and I have done quite well by it ever since. However, you have not mentioned it lately. Is there any reason to suspect that it will not continue to grow despite it being in what I consider to be a growth area - HVAC both residential and commercial? Or is there another US industrial you feel provides better prospects?

Appreciate your insight.
