Investment Q&A

Q: I have half positions in each of these four companies and cash to deploy to bring some to full positions. In which order (best candidate first) would you proceed?

Q: I want to replace this stock AFN down 45 percent with a better stock with a yield and a good backlog. This is in my RRSP. Can you suggest a few replacements I can check out. Thanks.

Q: Good morning 5i team,
Comments pls. on WSP results.
Thx!

Q: I hold TFII and am down about 6%, would you sell and replace with WSP or just be patient?

Q: Hi 5i and team
I presently own WSP which ran up to 5% of holdings and SIS. I'm considering selling SIS and adding BYD.UN and or CAE. That move could bring me to 10% industrial. Should i trim WSP and keep industrial to a prefered percentage or Let it run which brings Me to my other question if allowed. I get confused with all sectors ie: cyclical, non cyclical, defensive etc...i would prefer having 7 if possible. I'd appreciate your thoughts with this.
Thanks for your valuable advice as always.

Q: I hold WSP positions in both my balanced portfolio and also in income portfolio. Both portfolios are "balanced" and diversified. In total, WSP is more than 7% when the two are added up for what is in the two portfolios, although less than 7% in the individual two portfolios. My question is this okay as it is or is there a percentage cap for WSP that I should apply for both portfolios?.....Tom

Q: Hi, I need to increase my Industrial Sector a fair bit. I started with full positions in CNR, FTT and SIS. CNR has doubled but FTT and SIS are both down, SIS quite a bit.

I started with a half position in WSP and it's up a bit.

What would you do here to increase your Industrials

Thanks
Robert

Q: Looking at reducing my holding somewhat by taking some profits on CAE and moving those profits to increase my WSP holding.

Q: I have some extra cash to add to the balanced portfolio. Can you select 3 of these stocks that present the best purchase opportunities at the moment for a long-term hold?

Q: Dear 5i,
What are your preferred companies in the Industrial sector? The first five that pop into your mind.
Market cap is not a consideration issue, and they can be either on the Canadian or USA exchange(s).
Thank you for all you offer.

Q: I have these excellent performing stocks in my portfolio and wish to add to one of them. Percentages are as follows:
BAM.A - 3.8%
BYD.UN - 4.96%
WSP - 4.35%
Which one would you add to for growth and reliability over say 2- 5yrs, if you ignore the lower BAM % and then if you consider it has been brought up to the level of the other two?

Q: Good Morning Team
I have the above industrials trying to reduce the amount of my positions. Which of the above would you suggest I sell? Also need to increase allocation which would you suggest I add to? Thank you. Heather

Q: I had been waiting for Stantec's quarterly numbers to see if they had finally turned things around. It turns out they were released last week and given there was little fanfare and that the stock price did not pop, I assume the results were nothing special. Given the solid numbers WSP just announced, is it time to throw in the towel on STN and move over to WSP or do you see upward movement for STN?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hello team,
Your comments pls. on WSP Q1 report. I need to add to my industrials (according to Port. Analytics). Good time to add?
Thank you!

Q: I have all these stocks in my non-registered account, I have some money to deploy. My two smallest holdings are CP and WCN, should I add to either one or would you suggest a new stock?

Q: I have Stantec and SNC -Lavalin. I am debating dumping both for WSP or some other Industrial. Good Idea? Bad Idea? Any suggestions other than these three?
Thanks Paul

Q: My grand children (<3 & <1 year-old) have the above 4 stocks in the RESP. There is money for investment in 2 more stocks (long-term). I would appreciate your suggestions.

Q: Hi 5i:

I hold 5% positions in both and have solid gains. I was thinking of dropping one and going to RPD or FDC and raising my tech exposure to 10%. Which one would you drop from my portfolio and do you like this strategy? I have a 5% position in KXS. I am well diversified across all sectors. Thank you.

Q: I have the above securities, as well as RBC Cdn Equity Inc, Sentry Cdn Inc, Sentry Global REIT, and fixed income via Fisgard Capital, Annuities, a company pension, CPP and soon-to-be OAS.

I really focus on asset allocation and am a little light on Consumer stocks, holding CGX, PBH and TCL (although some consider TCL to be in the Industrial sector). I am normally a buy-and-hold investor who trims-adds around core positions.

Question 1 = I am looking to add 1 more consumer stock and am looking for a dividend ideally > 3%. Based on my stock-ETF-MF mix, are there a few stocks you could suggest that would fit in my above set of securities.

Q2 = if I was to consider ideas from the Income Portfolio, is there an issue with having multiple food stocks....like PBH and A&W and NWC. Why have more than one food stock?

Q# = because A&W is a ".UN" company, how are their dividends treated for tax purposes? Are they eligible for the dividend tax credit?

Deduct as many credits as you deem appropriate....got loads and will never use them all up.

Thanks as always...Steve
