Investment Q&A

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

Q: I just came across this quote within an Economist article:

“If you can earn 12%, maybe 13%, on a really good day in senior secured bank debt, what else do you want to do in life?” Steve Schwarzman, boss of Blackstone, a private-investment firm, recently asked.

Are there any bank bonds that you could suggest that would fit in this category?

I am looking for an industrial stock for my TFSA. Strong growth in a short period of time is the objective.

What do you think of Target Hospitality (th-q), Vertiv (vrt-n), Preformed Line (plpc-q), MDA Ltd (mda-t), Doman Bldg (DBM-t) ?

Any other suggestion ?

Q: Dear 5i
The mean analyst recommendation in Yahoo finance is 1.8 whereas in 5i s website under market data it shows 1.22 for VRT .

Q: Hello,
My holding of Waste Connections has increased substantially in value. The stock price is slipping and there seem to be a number of concerns with debt and return on capital. Your detailed comments would be appreciated.

Are there some industrials with better future prospects? What industrials could WCN be replaced with and why would they be any better?

Thank you,
V

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Could you please suggest 20 Canadian and/or U.S. stocks for a "buy and hold" portfolio in an RRSP with average-to-above-average risk and a 5+ year timeframe.

Feel free to subtract as many credits as you see fit.

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!
