Q: Hi,
Could you offer your thoughts on recent earnings and whether or you would be keen to own either of these stocks today. If there are other, more growth oriented options, I'd like to hear your suggestions. Either US or Canadian for a TFSA or RIF account.
Thanks - your advice is always much appreciated.

Q: I was thinking of selling Tourmaline Oil (TOU) and PrairieSky Royalty (PSK) and buying back into Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ), which is down about 15% from when I sold it. I am interested in the best overall return, not just the dividend. I would appreciate your thoughts on this move. Also, which is the better hold today, Hydro One (H) or Fortis (FTS). Finally, how big of position would you be comfortable letting BAM be in a portfolio? Thank you.

Q: Hello,

Losing patience with Telus. Div nice but down 37% in the 4yrs owned. Position sits at 1%.
Cut bait and re-deploy looks very attractive. Willing to skip Canadian telecoms for now in favour of better growth and stability going forward.

Thoughts? Hate taking a loss in a non-taxable account but Telus has been very disappointing and doesn’t look like anything is changing.

Q: Spring Greetings,

1) Whilst all seem relatively safe, I am wondering if I should take profits and rotate into something else with higher dividends and more chances of growth? Surely these cannot keep on going up?

2) Do any other names immediately spring to mind that have higher yields which are also relatively safe?

Many Thanks

Q: Four oil companies make up 30 percent of my portfolio. Purchased during covid and have had big gains in all four. The yield on cardinal based on cost base is 22 percent. This is stupid I know but if not for these four my portfolio is a disaster. It’s basically kept me flat while the tech sector has taken a dive. Should I start to exit some of the oil positions and where do you go if the majority of the 5i favourites are all ready owned ?

Q: Really a question of safe low growth dividend stock prices. All these utility stocks are at 52 week highs. Are they worth it at these prices or are they simply a place for people to hide out until Trumps latest crazy ego trip comes to an end. Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

We are nearing our max contribution to our TFSA's by transferring excess RRSP funds. We have never used a non-registered account. Can you suggest 5-10 stocks that should be in a non-reg account and why they are best in a non-reg over a TFSA Would you add GLXY or ETHQ to a non-reg due to volatility?

Thank you
