Investment Q&A

Q: Hello 5i team,
I've held a good number of stocks you hold in your BE portfolio and I've managed to obtain a 14% compound annual total return in the last 11 years.
100% of my portfolio is in equities; I'll be shortly 77 years old and plan to reduce my equity exposure to 30%, with the above stocks in mind.
Your opinion is most valuable

Thank you

Thank

Q: How do you feel about WSP as a buy at todays valuation? Do their growth prospects warrant the price?

Q: I just become member today and trying to familiarize with your contents on website.
What portfolio should I consider for TFSA and for my RRSP. I really like your BE portfolio but there are total 25 holdings. Leaving aside portfolio consideration, what would be your opinion/suggestion for me to buy in BE today for my TFSA. If you could suggest at least 7 to 10 holdings as I have all my TFSA contribution in cash (all of my 67 K so far) in Investment account.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

We have a 2.5% position in CN, and are a bit underweight in the industrial sector. Would the ongoing rail line blockade and slight decline in share price represents a buying opportunity? Or would a new investment into WSP, for example, be a better strategy? (Our other industrials are CAE, SIS, and TFII). Thanks in advance for your valued advice.

Q: Dear 5i
I'm looking to add a higher growth stock in my TFSA and was wondering which of the following will do better in terms of earnings over the next 1-2 years ......CAE , WSP or BYD .
I was also debating between TEAM and NOW for the TFSA as US possibilities . I would appreciate your thoughts .
Thanks

Q: My husband has some old capital losses that I think we should start to be using now in the event of any possible future rule changes. He has a 10 position unregistered account in which there are 3 equities with substantial gains from 125% to 1350%, i.e.: WSP, ENGH and CJT.
There are 2 equities with 50% and 70% gain, i.e. SYZ and WPM and 1 equity with 35% gain, i.e. KXS. The remaining 4 have small profit or loss, i.e. CAE, MCR, CCL.B, PBH.
Looking at selling WSP, ENGH, CJT, SYZ ,WPM and perhaps KXS to apply some of the old losses. What would you recommend to buy for replacement (a 1st and 2nd choice if you could) and would you move back into the original equity after 30 days or would you just stick with the replacement ? A dividend would be nice but not mandatory. Also, any thoughts on timing considerations or other issues ? We have diversified RIFs and TFSAs in addition to the above.
Many thanks.

Q: WILL YOU BE ADDING SOMETHING NEW TO REPLACE TOY. WHICH HAS MORE GROWTH POTENTIAL CAE OR WSP.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

I am looking to add a second stock in the Industrials sector of my TSX holdings.
I currently hold CNR. What would be your top 3 suggestions ?

Thank you,

Q: With gains over the past year, I'm overweight in these holdings - BAM 7%, BEP 12%, BIP 8%. I'm not uncomfortable with BAM and BIP but BEP is high.
Do you think there is more short-term upside in either BEP or BIP due to the addition of corporate structures?
What overall weighting would you recommend for these 3 companies and do you have a preference for any - these would be long-term holdings (8-10 years) in an income focused portfolio?
If trimming is recommended, what are your top 3 recommendations for reliable and growing dividend paying stocks, sector not being an issue?
Thank you
Ian

Q: With Altus separating the losing Geomatics from the company this should help the bottom line I assume.Jim

Q: Good morning:
Portfolio Analytics suggests that I boost my Industrial sector. Do you have a Canadian favourite for a longer term hold such as WSP, ARE, or a US stock?

My thanks.

Q: is there any new information about wsp?

Q: Good day I have a large gain in the above stocks in an outside account. I am thinking of taking half off the table and putting it into a canadian dividend etf VDY. I understand that i would have to pay some tax but i would net a higher dividend from VDY than the other three and i live from my dividends. Or should i just leave them to grow as each is about a 4% position in my total portfolio. Could you please give me your thoughts on this....Gene

Q: Greetings,

I've held WSP for quite a long time and done very well with it. However, it is in my RRIF and I'm looking to go a bit more conservative. Seems like a swap to BEB.UN might make sense. What do you think?

Q: Does WSP offer a discount on its DRIP. If yes what is it?

Thanks

- two of STC, GUD, REAL or MMX, and
- four of BYD, MX, CAE, WSP, TRI, GIL, ENGH or BAD
From a quality of investment with a 3-5 yr potential, perspective (not sector nor type of account etc,..) in what order would you make the purchases within each of the two groups?
Thank you for all of your good work

Q: Hi 5i team,
Looking to add 2 stocks (2-4% position) in my RRSP portfolio from the following (MG, KXS, CSU, GSY, WSP) for a holding period of 5-10 years, not too concerned about market volatility. Looking for quality company (good operator in his business, good balance sheet, etc…) with good growth potential.
