Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i,
I was called out of ITP as I didn't expect such a good earnings report. Was thinking of up grading from ITP to CCL. I noticed CCL is in the balanced portfolio therefore is now a good time to buy or are these both overbought and I should wait for a pull back.

Q: Gentleman, Can I have your assessment for the latest quarter released today?

Q: Apples vs oranges vs olives question....
I still hold SJ and just noticed internalized that it has been dropped from the portfolios. Only a half position and I have some cash to invest so looking to maybe sell it and buy a new full position. My portfolio is well balanced although selling SJ will make me a bit light in materials so might prioritize a materials stock like CCL or AEM. Problem is I dont like non voting shares and I historically have timed all my mining purchases poorly....seem to buy on the highs in that sector...In general I am a balanced portfolio follower with tendencies to start buying more from the income portfolio. So looking at stocks in the portfilio I might look at adding a full postion can you rank best buys right now with +5 year hold. SJ ( hold and add to it), TFII, CCL, AEM, BCE, other non financial/ non industrial from the balance/income portfolio high on your list buy list right now.

Q: Going through all your portfolios looking for a high(er) growth stock with a dividend >1 that I don't already own. Can you please rate the following on a scale of 1-10 (1 being low) for both growth and risk over the next 12-18 months: MG, SLF, PKI, TFI, CCL, PLC, GSY, OTEX. (I note that all but SLF are currently rated 'strong buy'.) And if you have two clear favourites in the preceding list, I would appreciate those being noted separately. Thank you.

Q: My Materials sector needs to be increased to about 10% of portfolio - currently I have only 1.3% - all held in KL (underwater 15%).
I note you have ccl.b in the Balanced Portfolio but it does not seem to be in your recent recommendations for Materials ? ?
At the moment my shopping list looks like this:
LUN, IVN, ERO, NEO, NTR, RS, FCX, XGD ( Sell KL ??) , CCL.b ??
Would appreciate your assessment and comments and suggestions for alternatives. Dividend not necessary.
Use whatever number of question credits req'd. Thanks as always.

Q: Hello Peter,

I’ve held this company since the Split in 2018. Since that time the share price has been less than my cost, that is until just lately. Based on its performance, does it remain in the BP for sector balance, or do you feel it has been consolidating for the last 3 years and has room to run?

Q: I need to raise some cash. Could you recommend which 6 of the above list you would sell first. Keeping in mind that I would be rebuying some of those as cash again becomes available.
Thanks for your advice.

Q: I want to sell one of these 2 companies and reinvest the proceeds in REAL which do you suggest I sell thanks Richard

Q: Good day,
I hold BEP.UN;BEPC;BBU;CCL.B;ENB;EMA;H;FTS;CTC; and BAM in a non registered account and thanks to you I have done very well following your Q & A and portfolios. I am down 43% in SU; down 23% in CPD; down 16% in IPL and 6% in POW. Would you add to the winners? Add to the temporary losers or ADD new ones. After today, am tempted to add to SU for sure. Have RRIF and TFSA with pretty balanced sectors. Overall, Overweight in Utilities, Financials and okay with that. Many thanks, Paul

Q: why is ccl trading near 12 month high. what is your opinion of the future prospects for BAM reinsurance to be created by a special dividend from BAM.A. thanks Richard

Q: Commentary on the quarter?

Q: Can you comment on the latest acquisition by CCL ?

Thanks

Q: What are your thoughts about these companies, aiming for dividend growth and capital apreciation. Do you suggests any alternatives with similar strategy and sector?

Q: I do not own these 8 companies from the balanced portfolio and I do have some money to invest. I already have a reasonably well balanced portfolio (except overweight in tech). Dividends are nice but not that important. Is there one you would consider a particularly interesting buy with a timeline of 5 years? Could you rank the top3?

Q: Hi, I have these 3 companies in my new TFSA acct. at about 1.5-2% each. ( I have quite a bit of room to add ).
I like each one and will be adding to each, but would also like to add two or three more for better sector diversity, any suggestions? I do like dividends but not necessary.
Thanks for your input.

Q: Hi Folks,

Looking for your sage opinion please. I've owned CCL Industries for a few years and have done very well - up about 150% in a taxable account (thanks for making me aware of the company years ago). It's not a big holding (2.5% of my equity portfolio). CCL.B seems to be struggling and at one point I was probably up closer to 200%.

My question is should I lose confidence in the company at this point, sell the shares and pay the capital gains tax (I have a fairly low marginal tax rate right now), or should I hold? I do note CCL.B has the early appearance of turning the corner to better results.

Thank you for your opinion and also for the significant investment gains I have made for several years now with 5i's support. Because of you I have done really well on CSU, SHOP, FNV, WSP, ATD.B, IWO as well as others.

Michael

Q: Greetings 5i Team - Your thoughts on the latest earnings, please.

Q: Could I please get your comments on CCL.B Q2 results. Also which company would you buy and why CCL.B or WPK .
Thanks

Q: I am contemplating to sell GUD and CCL.b from my registered accounts due to their lack of performance. Please advise if the still good to continue hold at the current market conditions ? If not, which one should be sold first ? Thank you. Bill
