Investment Q&A

Q: Would you have better stocks
ATZ,CGY,JWEL ,HORIZON ETF
to buy now?
Thanks

Q: I have very little exposure to Consumer Cyclicals
in my portfolio. I am considering taking a small position (say 2-3%) in Cdn Tire - it has a 4% dividend and some analysts seem to like it. Question - is now a good time to being taking a position in consumer cyclicals and what are your thoughts on CTC. Are there better options?

Q: My portfolio needs more utility, consumer defensive and consumer cyclical exposure. It also needs more international exposure. Do you have a few suggestions that you like now that might kill two birds with one stone? Would be long term holds inside of an RRSP.
Thanks!

Q: Can you give me your current opinion of Dollarama.

I'm beginning to feel it's over-valued. Can you also comment on its debt level.

I'm thinking that trimming or even selling might be the best move at this point.

Q: I have space for 3 growth stocks in my TFSA. Looking at various sources, I found the above suggestions. Ideally, I am looking at 15-20% or more of annual earnings growth for the foreseeable future. How would you rank the above stocks, without regard for sectors, with a short explanation for the top 3. Also, any other suggestions? Thanks.

Q: Is there a good Canadian ETF for consumer cyclical / discretionary sector? If not what basket of stocks would can be included in the sector?

Q: hey guys can you please elaborate on the insider sale of shares on f Friday is it a bad thing or is it status quo thanks as always

Q: What would be your top five income and growth investments for an rrsp

Q: For a long term hold would you prefer DOL or ATD or is there another Consumer Defensive company you would recommend?
Also with growth as the objective and for a long term hold please rank SHOP, CSU, MSFT and NVDA.
Thank you.

Q: GSY's YTD results are disappointing and in spite of the many positive touts (including 5i), I am losing patience in the almost 39% drop so far.

I've been interested in DOL for some time, would you recommend a swap of GSY to DOL at their current prices today? Or should I wait for the GSY report due on 11/10 before I do anything? Please advise.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

Earlier this month Dollarama issued $700,000,000 of notes with a rate approximately of 5% with a substantial amount being used to repay notes with a rate just above 2 %

How significant is this additional interest cost per annum versus current earnings ?

Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: First thanks for the swift turnaround response for ADBE, yesterday. 
Now my focus is on Consumer Discretionary stock positions. I hold Canadian positions in ATD, BYD, DOL and PLC and then for the US, AMZN and HD. 
For the Cdn positions, all exceed the target weightings. But for AMZN, which I recently added to, the portfolio for this stock is underweight by 1.2% and for HD, underweight by 1.3%.
At this time, the total CD sector portfolio weighting is  13.5% compared to a target of 10% but me, comfortable going overweight this sector as I shy away from energy and materials.
I'm inclined to add to Home Depot next. What are your thoughts about adding to HD, especially looking forward to a brighter horizon?
Another one is ATZ which I have held in the past. Wondering about buying ATZ in the near term or wait awhile???
If there are other companies in the CD or Cyclic sector that you think I should consider for the brighter future, I'd be pleased to know about them.........Much thanks..............Tom

Q: Hi 5i,
Thanks for the great work. Can I please ask your opinion on ATD and DOL? Do you prefer one company to the other today, or are both buys?

ATD seems to be seeing strength recently. Thank you.

Q: Leaving other factors aside (eg taxes etc), within a well diversified portfolio would you be ok with selling CIX and TECK.b in favour of buying WCN and DOL? Basically I am asking if you think these latter two (at current valuations) might outperform the former in what I expect to be a somewhat moderate to deep recession? Thanks!

Q: this is my mix of companies. which would you cull and what do you recommend to replace?

Q: Without concern for sector or diversification what would be your top 2 choices of the above names for long term (10+ yrs) growth potential for TFSA? Of those 2 choices what is a good entry point??

Q: My son has saved up for a bit and has a decent amount of capital for his age. He has a TFSA but his investments are varied and not the best for a long term portfolio. We recently sat down and planned out a long term portfolio that would less risky for long term holdings. Would you guys change/swap, remove or add any from this portfolio of Canadian Stocks? TD, MG, BAM.A, ENB, SLF, FSV, T, FTS, CNR and TRI. Is the market also in a comfortable position to currently make a large investment of capital? Thanks.
