Q: Hi folks,
I currently hold CTC.A in my TFSA and just breaking even. I am thinking of switching to DOL. May I have your opinion as to which company you think would have the best growth profile going forward.
Thanks

Q: Hello, Would you have 4 top picks in either of these sectors (industrials, consumer staples, consumer discretionary or health care). I am looking for large caps trading on the TSX with good long term potential. Thank you.

Q: Looking at growth of these 2 companies over the last year. PBH is falling while DOL has had steady growth. Would you suggest a switch or do you see a recovery for PBH? Thanks Steve

Q: Hi team,

In your replies to questions you sometimes refer to "sleep at night stocks". Those above were so qualified, among others.
I would very much appreciate if you could provide a good list of such stocks at this point, both Canadian and U.S., in order of potential growth in 5 years or less, with a short comment summarizing your present view on each.

Please use as many credits as you see fit.

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: What would be your top 10 “sleep at night” stocks for US and Canada?
Thanks

Q: Have some cash available to add to one or 2 of the following: CLS, DOL, DOO, GIB.A, IFC, QSR, STN, TIH. For a purchase at the current price, please rank from 1 through 8, for total return over the next 3 - 5 years. I believe you are pretty positive about each of these companies. No concerns about sector allocation.

Q: What would be ideal entry points for these two stocks?

Thanks, as always.

Q: I’m looking to add a Canadian stock with great potential to compound over the next 5 years or more. I already own stocks such as TFII, ATD, BN and CSU. Which do you think has is the best opportunity to start a new position along GSY, DOL or TRI? Or maybe WSP? Please rank and/is there another I should maybe consider?

Q: As far as the Discount Dollar Stores goes, I know and shop at Dollarama(Canadian)..., I have never experienced Five Below(US Based)...

- I used to like Dollarama as a Consumer, but its starting to get a bit pricey on items I regularly purchased... Not a fan of the price increases, but I still shop there for certain value...

Questions:

1. Which of the 2 companies would you suggest buying, based on valuation, stock price , growth , future and safety...

2. Buy Both or One

3. Crystal ball : Could you see any of the 2 to be takeover targets in future?

4. Any other suggestions in this space?

Thanks in advance
Regards,
M

Q: Hi 5i
How do you view DLTR earnings release 1.7b loss closing 1000 stores etc..
In light of this would you expect material impact for DOL and its upcoming earning release... I did see this morning that national bank upgraded price target for DOL...

Current holder but with only a 1 to 2 year hold. Would you continue to hold DOL...

thx

Q: I currently have HCAL in a growth orientated TFSA and I don't think this is a good fit.
Currently, I hold Goog, SHOP, LMN & CLS. Do have a few ideas for a stock that could replace the HCAL ETF?

Q: Can you please provide your thoughts on the stocks listed for a RESP that will start to draw down in 4 years? In addition to these positions the portfolio has a good core position in CDN, US and INTL large cap ETFs. Any that you would get rid of now? If so, please provide alternatives (both Cdn and US).

Q: Hi Peter and 5iresearch team:
In your answer to Gerry's question on Feb 16, you mentioned that CSU and ATB have been the best Canadian compounders over the last ten years. You added DOL, BYD, TFII, BN, CLL.B, TRI based on historical performance and you are expecting LMN.V, TVK, HPS.A, TOI, GSY to be potential Canadian compounders in the future.

1. Would YOU still invest in CSU, ATB, DOL, BYD, TFII, BN, CLL.B, TRI with the same conviction and weighting?
2. Could you please provide a similar answer but for the US market? Please provide 10 or so best US compounders based on historical performance that YOU think investors should keep investing in and 5 or so US companies that YOU would buy as potential US compounders in the future.

Thank you for the great service.
