Q: Greetings,
From a response from your office, I interpreted these five were suggested as still being good opportunities at present day prices. Did you mean full position or tranches etc?

Like many, I'm terrified of the impending pullback, especially with Tech names and what if prices fall by more than eg: 15%?

Secondly, what is your opinion on what might happen to the market, in the short term, if Trump keels over and dies?

With thanks, A

Q: please name 5 best stocks that are below historical price levels that are still quality profitable companies (my review of 2025 would suggest something like ATD), but maybe I am really off. Please make a broad comment for your choices if ATD point of reference for such a question. forgive me if too vague.

Q: Hi guys,
I have money to add to an RRSP account that currently has CCO, DOL, BN, and L. I’m retired and looking for steady eddys. Each of these has worked well and I will continue to hold. I’d like to add one between MG, NA, CSU, SJ, GRT.UN. Or perhaps something else you would recommend. I understand these are all completely different companies. Sector is unimportant. Just something that is solid as a rock and to hold before converting to RRIF in 5 years

Q: At what price would CSU be considered a value play?

Q: If you could only buy 5 stocks in North America disregarding balance what would they be?

Q: I’m doing a fairly major portfolio clean-up and account optimization exercise.
Specifically, I’m removing dividend-oriented and income-generating stocks from my TFSA and RRSP that are better suited to a non-registered account, and reallocating TFSA/RRSP capital to assets that benefit most from tax sheltering.

At a broad level, I’d appreciate your perspective on:

• Which CAD and USD names are best suited to an RRSP (e.g., U.S. dividend payers, global compounders, cyclicals, etc.)
• Which CAD and USD names are best suited to a TFSA (long-term growth, compounding, low income leakage)

I’m less interested in yield optimization and more focused on long-term after-tax efficiency and proper account placement.

If helpful, feel free to answer at a category level (e.g., “U.S. dividend aristocrats,” “Canadian compounders,” etc.) or with specific examples you think are particularly well-suited.

Thanks — looking forward to your thoughts.

Q: We are looking to inject more growth into our TFSAs - can accept reasonable degree of risk. Looking for concentrated list 10 stocks for 3-5 year hold.

Q: Do you have a blog entry or past question response related to US listed opportunities that could benefit from the end of tax loss selling? If not, can you provide 10 opportunities that would benefit specifically from this seasonal event? Can you also explain the extent to which tax related selling and potential rebounds occur in the US compared to the Canadian market? Is it just as likely or less likely based on the size of their market and different tax system? Lastly and on the same theme, if CSU is an excellent candidate for a recover from tax related selling, is NOW a US listed candidate for a rebound on a potentially larger scale given the larger following that it has?

Q: Just sold in our joint account for tax loss can I buy back in an individual account before 30 days and still claim the tax loss jointly?

Q: I have been considering selling the following companies for tax loss. Do you think they are reasonable candidates? Or do you think there is too much bounce potential going into 2026. Would you be able to rank them in the order you would consider selling them from most attractive for tax loss to least. Thank you.
John

Q: First and foremost Season's greatings and thank you very much for the support.

Following up on Joel's question from December 15th. I agree that subsidiaries will seek to integrate the use of AI into their processes in order to maintain and perhaps ultimately improve their margins, but this will have a direct impact on short-term profitability (e.g., one year). How can Constellation justify the multiple they are currently supporting with declining margins? The only way I see to improve profits would be to substantially increase accretive acquisitions during the transition. For my part, Constellation was my largest position and has lost a lot of value, even though I'm still up 200%. I'm really worried about what to do with my investment. How many quarters do you think I should wait before knowing more?


Thanks for your help.

Q: A question for the 5i team that will likely be of interest to a lot of us do it yourselfers. With 2026 in the headlights and big gains in the TSX where do you see opportunity going forward. 1-Could you make recommendations on sectors you think will out perform or under perform. 2-Which markets do you see with the best potential. 3-Your three top picks in growth and three top picks in income. I have a lot of built up questions that you are welcome to, hoping for a good in-depth response as per the norm. Crystal ball gazing but better you than I!

Q: I have 26 positions in a combination of your growth and balanced funds and have liquidity to add 3 or 4 new positions or add on's to what I have. Without listing my positions, is it fair to ask you for your 'fav' 5 or 6 undervalued equities that I could add while there is tax loss selling?
Grazi,
