Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: BN is sitting at 7.5%, AXON - BKNG are 5% and the rest are 3% positions totaling approx. 83% of my stock assets. I have some 1-2% positions in my cash account (GSY, ATZ, PRL, CLBT, HPS.a, BNS,SU, TMDX, TVK and CNQ. I'm heavy tech, financials and industrials going into H2 2025. Would you add to, remove or change anything is this was your account (assuming you're 52 and plan to retire in 8 years). Not looking for a person allocation but rather if it was you, what might you be looking to adjust, if anything. Note I have no utilities currently. Thanks and have a great weekend.

Q: Sorry, still trying to figure out if Today's $10 drop presents an opportunity to add some shares.

In your view, today's sell off is not acquisition related. If so, why would stock be down a bunch, in an otherwise stable market, when its peers, which are also up YTD as well over 12 months, are trading as if business is usual. It looks weird !!

Would you have an idea, what is the cost of the Lexica deal and if there is a possibility that WSP may be considering a secondary offering to finance the deal ?

Thank You

Q: Hello 5i Team, I'm quite overweight CSU and was thinking about trimming some (or lots). I've held CSU since 2014 and think it might be time to reduce my exposure. If you were given a blank sheet and could pick 5 quality US and 5 quality Canadian names; which would they be?
Thank you Brent

Q: Hit "enter" to fast on my last question. Looking for some ideas with the understanding you can't offer direct recommendations. I have 40 K to add to my non-reg account. I have full positions in all the pipelines, OLY, GWO, BNS, CU, NPI, BIR, PEY, TPZ, CNQ, PRL and BMO. I have no need for any income for at least five years, not opposed to going overweight if necessary, have lots of higher yielders so would perhaps benefit from some choices with capital gain and dividend growth potential versus just high yield.

Q: As a longtime holder of BNS representing 8% of my cash account (4 % total accounts ) with banks representing 30 % of total portfolios, I am getting impatient waiting for the “ new “ President to make his mark. With TFII suffering from tariff malaise and WSP dropping because of a sale of shares by the Caisse , I see this as an opportunity to get into these 2 growthier stocks. I can live with the resulting drop in dividend income. I would have a loss on BNS.

Would you make the trade or hold on to BNS ?
Thanks. Derek

Q: hi 5i. sorry for the number of equities in this. you seem to like all (most?) of these companies. I have none of these in my portfolio, but have been trying to get in at lower prices. can you please rank as buy, sell, or hold. can you flag any that you have more concern with re the uncertain investing markets right now ie any to totally avoid? could you give a price point at which you would be buyers of the equities.
cheers and thanks, Chris
