Investment Q&A

Q: I am a recent subscriber, but have been around long enough to have taken your advice on TOI:CV. It has done quite well, thanks. I have my TFSA holding only one stock, BNS with the whole $75,000. It has essentially not moved in the last 6 months. Can you suggest one or two stocks that you feel have a similar potential as did TOI, as I would like to sell my BNS and move into something else?

Q: I tried to pull a stock list of B+ companies based on your reviews. Your thought on investing as an equal weight portfolio with a 5 year horizon.

Thank you!

Q: What would you choose between WSP and LMT for a 5 year investment and why?

Thanks for your great insight as always

Q: Balanced Equity Portfolio (Cdn & US Stocks): If 5i were just starting business today what 20 stocks would make up the portfolio?

Q: From 5i's Income Portfolio, which top 3 companies will you rank as the best to invest in at the moment?

Q: Hi, for my TFSA I primarily hold small dividend with steady growth companies, to keep things somewhat stable. STC is the exception. I have room for one more company.
With that in mind could you suggest 3 stocks that may fit in with what i already have, keeping sector diversity in mind. ( I also have ATD.B in another account)
Thanks, really enjoy your platform and service to the small investors.

Q: Thanks to your stellar advice, I now have three stocks over 5%: WSP (up 156% in a non-registered account), GSY (up 105% in a non-registered account) and LSPD (up 325% in a TFSA) . Based on past guidance to 'let winners run', at what point would you suggest I start rebalancing? Call me a very happy 5i client!

Q: Apparently I am not overly observant because I just realized my WSP has gone from the income stock I first purchased to a growth stock. As a result of the share price going up four-fold while the dividend remained the same I am now sitting on a big capital gain and an outsized position with a relatively low yield. In your income portfolio it sticks out for the same reason, contributing a huge “since inception” return but low yield. I would like to at least reduce it and put the funds to work in another industrial with higher yield but can’t land on anything. I want to like MAL but of course it is much smaller cap. Any suggestions? What would you replace it with in the Income Portfolio if you were so inclined?

Q: What stocks in Canada do you believe will do well with the passing of the Infrastructure Bill and Reconciliation Bill in the USA? Please list in order of preference. Thanks.

Q: Could you recommend 5 Canadian companies that show good growth in appreciation as well as dividend with a buy and hold strategy. Could you please rank them in value and risk.
Thank you.

Q: Earlier this year we created an equal weighted 'balanced' portfolio of 30 Canadian companies in a non-registered account. Most were chosen from companies either covered by a 5i research report or included in a 5i model portfolio. The remainder were chosen, based on the 5i Q&A section, from what appear to be 5i sector favourites. All purchases in the portfolio are made with the intent to be long-term holds (10+ years).

Our intent is to increase our investments in the 30 companies over time. We have recently increased our positions in BIPC and MG. At this time we would like to increase our investments in 10 of the remaining 28 companies. The intent is to increase the remaining 18 in approximately 6 months. Which 10 would you add to today? Please rank them, include a small blurb explaining each choice and indicate an approximate buy price. Thanks!

Q: Based on the companies contained in the two portfolios above, which of them are you most impressed with, having gone thru the pandemic, which would lead you to expect even better results as the economy moves past the stimulus provided by the feds?

Q: Please rank the above listed stocks and an explanation for #1? I am more focussed on growth as I have a significant time horizon. Also, which account is preferred for the following? Tfsa or rrsp?

Also these are currently my holdings in my tfsa. Would you sell one of the following for one of the above listed stock, or wait for new money? Thanks

Q: Could I please have your thoughts on the quarter results.

Q: Hi Folks
I currently hold WSP in my TFSA. I am looking at adding either TFII or WSP to my non-registered account - I hold CAE in the account now - what would you recommend - add some more WSP or start a new position with TFII? In my industrial Sector across all portfolios, I hold CN, CAE and WSP.
Thanks

Q: Can you look into your crystal ball and give me a list in order which of the above stock would be best for growth in a 3 year hold.

Q: Please rank the following for growth 10+ year investment in a TFSA.

Please include risk involved, 10 being high risk.

ATZ, LSPD, ROKU, TOI, MG, WSP, TFII

Also, would you avoid investing in LSPD if one already owned SHOP?

Thank you

Q: I am investigating Applied Materials for an investment to increase the industrial waiting in my portfolio. What do you think of the company? Is there any other industrial holding that you prefer for long term growth and some income?

Q: Assuming a deflationary scenario and a continuing low interest rate environment for the next 18-24 months or so, what are your top five sectors and the top three picks within those sectors.
Many thanks for your most helpful advice.
