Q: Could you suggest 2 safer Canadian stocks to go with QSR, GSY and SLF to add to my grandsons RESP for a long term hold. Dividend would be nice but not necessary.
I'm down 20% on QSR so would you sell at this time to add to the others?
Q: Please list your top 5 absolutely MUST-have stocks, regardless of sector or industry. (feel free to adjust the number of stocks, to more or less than 5 if you want)
Q: What would you buy to replace WIR.UN. With a similar buy ? some suggestions with options and rational would be appreciated ( CAN ALSO BE CANADIAN)
thanks

My question is, how can an investment in financial services like SLF be bullish when bond rates go up. My understanding is that the value of the bonds held will decline in such a scenario so SLF's balance sheet will be negatively impacted as well. Enlighten me, how does SLF benefit from a rising interest rate environment?
Q: My granddaughter has a TFSA that needs some increase in real estate and financials weightings. Would you consider TCN and GSY appropriate for a 3-4 year hold or would you suggest some alternatives?
With appreciation,
Ed
Q: I own full positions in TD ( instead of BNS), SLF and BAM.A as my CAD financial holdings. I am thinks of adding a new name. Which is the better buy right now between X and FSZ. Balanced follower shifting to income follower. 5+ year hold.
Q: When I look at the quoted prices for SLF it gives me a long list of share types you can purchase. I understand that a preferred share acts more like a bond and you don't have voting rights but you get paid dividend payments first and come ahead of the line before common share holders for pay outs. Given the price per share of a preferred share is much less than a common share why would anyone not choose the preferred shares? In essence, I want to know whether to buy SLF common shares or preferred shares, thanks.
Q: Hi 5I,
With China implications affecting Manual Life, would you consider selling my position and purchasing SunLife or would you have another solution?
Thanks, Earl
Q: We are often reminded that one should not try to time the market, and that it is time in the market that counts. But would you be in favour of an investor re-weighting to more defensive positions if one is worried there is a "correction" on the horizon, for example if the Delta variant explodes Covid numbers, there is a gov't policy or interest rate change, an external shock with China, etc, ? If one was going to make that change, can you pls provide 10 names that currently would be more defensive? Thank you for your very excellent service.
Q: Over the next few months, I plan to buy the 5 stocks listed. Not sure if there is a preferred order of purchase. This will be in a non-registered investment account, where dividend accumulation and safety of principal are the main goals. Buy and hold forever. I keep all of my growth stocks in my TFSA, and I have most of those recommended by 5i. Could you please recommend an ordered sequence for purchase of these 5? (If you see one.) Thank you for continued great service.
Q: Hi Peter,
With reported earnings and the potential for dividend hikes later this year, what looks better to you now; Cdn Banks or Cdn Insurance Co's ?
Is there any noticable advantage or disadvantage to holding a covered call on a Company etc if/when they raise their dividend ?
Thank you.
