Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i,
I currently own Cnr 4%, ata 3%, tfii 3%.
For diversity and best 2022-2023 prospects, which does 5i like best: aos or itw or wsp? Which has the highest projected growth for the next two years? Which is the best value at today’s prices? Is there an industrial in Canada or the US that 5i likes better? Perhaps Nvee?
Tia,

Q: We recently initiated a TFSA for a family member (long-term buy & hold); the 10 securities purchased (in approximately equal amounts) were: Aritzia (ATZ), Unilever (UL), GoEasy (GSY), SunLife Financial (SLF), BAM (BAMa), WSP (WSP), Algonquin Power (AQN), Telus Int'l (TIXT), and an ETF called XUSR. Still have ~15% capital (~$12,000) to invest. Which 3 or 4 of these would you have greatest conviction to add to? And/or is there another security which would complement the above?

Ted

Q: Please provide your top 3 US and Canadian industrial stock recommendations. And, what is the best ETF to cover industrials?

Q: Good Morning,
Apologizes as I know you've been asked this question or various of a million times but here it goes. At this point in time please list your 5 favorite stocks for a 10 year hold in each of your RRSP account and your TFSA account.

Q: Hi...do you put much stock in the "death cross"? I see the 50mda has dropped below the 200mda for each of PBH, WSP and XIT (ya, I know technicals aren't as reliable when applied to ETFs). What is your opinion on both the "golden cross" and the "death cross"? Are either or both reliable?

I trimmed all three on the way up (in keeping with my asset allocation target ranges). I have already added a bit to XIT, with more planned next month. I was considering adding to PBH and WSP once things settle down in a week or two.

Your thoughts?

Thanks...Steve

Q: The above 3 industrials have declined over the last 2 weeks between 5.6% and 14.6%.
For a long term hold do you consider now is a good time to step in and what is the current peg ration on each company.

Q: It seems to be a trading range from November to Now from $175 to $185. Any thoughts moving forward? Can it break out? Is it a reasonable buy at this price, long term?

Q: I would like to purchase shares of WSP:CA on the US side of my RBC account via the ticker sign WSPOF (OTC Pink). I wish to purchase in US dollars to save on FX fees.

What is the impact on my proposed investment? Are their any downsides or is it essentially the same investment with a USD currency risk?

Q: As with many of your members, im considering some portfolio adjustments and deployment of TFSA contributions to start the year.

What names in Canada and the US are you most excited about in 2022/2023 that you view as meriting consideration?

Q: Hi Team,

The valuation of WSP is considerably more than other industry players like Stantec or Bird. Why is worthwhile to continue with WSP over better priced alternatives?

Q: I am looking for the best growth opportunity between the selected dividend payers. please list in order of preference.

Thanks Dave

Q: I have 3 securities (TOI, GSY, WSP) in my TFSA (in approximately the same amounts), and have added $6000 cash to that brokerage account for 2022. Would it seem reasonable to add to each of the 3 positions with the newly added cash, or would you feel I should prefer one or the other security(ies) among the 3?

Ted

Q: If you were to pick 2 0r 3 sectors that might outperform this year in the Canadian Market, what would they be ? Could you suggest 2 or 3 dividend payer in each of those sectors. Thanks so much. Don

Q: Follow your balanced portfolio. Please give me 3 names that you would add today. As well 2 income based dividend stocks that are not in youe balanced model portfolio. Thanks for your great service. Happy New Year.

Q: With all the infrastructure work coming up the first two look like a coin toss to me. I know you like WSP and J but STN has had a good 2021 run and looks strong. Do you have any issues with STN vrs WSP?

Q: I would like to increase my industrial holdings, and wonder if you have a current favourite? (Canadian or US)

Q: I do not have any positions in the Industrial sector and would like to initiate a purchase of a solid "Core Holding" security. Could you provide me with a US and Canadian selection for consideration. Looking for a solid performer with good fundamentals. Thanks

Q: I'm in the process of rebuilding my portfolio for 2022. It would be helpful if you could share with me a list of both Canadian and American companies that meet the following criteria:
1. They are some of your favourite companies from a fundamental perspective
2. They are currently buying back their own shares.
3. They offer a decent dividend.
4. They run businesses that offer good growth prospects for next year.
5. They currently offer good value.
6. These companies are so solid they would classify as 'core ' holdings.
At least six companies in each list would be appreciated.

Finally, I would like to express my gratitude for the support and ideas you have shared this past year. Definitely one of the best advisory services available to Canadians,

Q: Hi Peter,

In this downtrend market could you please give your three best stocks to buy for 3 to 5 years hold in each sector in canada and US as well ?
Thank you for your best advise on this platform.

Q: Hi Folks,
I have the above companies in my TFSA all at the same or so weight. I had BYD but sold it when it started to drop. I am still ahead in my sold price as compared to its current price. I am looking to add another or even BYD now that it has settled somewhat, can you give me your suggestion as to what you would add to this lineup - buy back BYD or can you provide some others that I can add. Thank you very much for your suggestions over the years.
