Investment Q&A

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

Q: Two parter, no wrong answers possible. In my TFSA I hold Descartes, Kinaxis, Shop and CAE amongst others. I have approx $2000 or .5% to invest in one or two of the four. They are all less than full positions. Suggestions?

Which of the following would you move from a cash account to the TFSA - AC, ATZ or ATD.B? I'm leaning toward AC currently.

Thanks in advance, sleepless nights have become a thing of the past based on my subscription to 5i. Service has been invaluable.

Q: Hi
I've got a 3% position in CAE currently in my RRSP. It's done well for me over time, but I'm thinking about selling it. If I do, I'm considering TFII as a replacement, if I stay in the industrial sector. However, I'm also considering GSY as an alternative. I'd like more momentum and a bit of a dividend, and without too much risk. What is your opinion on selling CAE and replacing it with either TFII or GSY? Which of TFII or GSY would you prefer at this time?
If you have another suggestion I'd appreciate hearing it. Thanks!

Q: May I have your opinion on selling a position in CAE(up 39%since purchase) and either starting a new position in ATA or adding to a 1% initial position in either ATZ or BYD? No tax consequences as CAE, ATZ & BYD are all held in TFSAs. We are retired seniors happy to hold higher risk growth/momentum stocks in our TFSAs. Thank you for your input, with your usual disclaimers.

Q: As a Covid recovery stock I tend to agree with Mr Branson's philosophy on airlines { AC } . " The best way to become a millionaire is to invest $2.5 billion in an airline " . And Mr. Buffet " Hi my name is Warren and I'm an airoholic . Please talk to me until the urge to buy an airline passes " ...... So I am more inclined to go with someone who services them like CAE or MAL . Though the difference in market cap is huge I'm leaning toward MAL based on current valuation, a juicy dividend, and it doesn't appear particularly volatile .....I know 5I likes both but if you were going to give the edge to one today which one would it be and why ? Also when does each one next report earnings ?

Q: Follow up to my question about CAE having 121% institutional ownership. You answered.
: "Generally this refers to the percentage of the float, and the results can be skewed with a large short interest. But, the short interest on CAE is minimal, and Bloomberg shows 86%. This is likely a data error from our third party provider and we will contact them."
Firstly am I assuming correctly that Bloomberg is showing 86% institutional ownership, not short interest.
Secondly where would you suggest I look to double check the info in the profile page? Is there a web site you would recommend that would confirm the data? I have checked several and no two give me the same information.

Q: The listed companies each carry about a 1% weighing in my portfolio. There are no tax implications and I am positive on all of these. I am trying to reduce my overall holdings to about 25. I believe each company has its merits but I will never hit a home run with such a small investment. Can you advise which ones you would keep and consolidate or perhaps suggest something else to put all of the proceeds toward.

Thank you

Q: Moving from growth to income. Have a 76% realized gain and 76% unrealized gain on CAE.
What do you think of selling CAE ? Most dividend paying stocks I’ve looked at seem rather expensive. I already have full positions in AQN, BNS,BAM, CAR.UN, SUN, VGG, VDY, half position inT. Any dividend paying stocks that you would consider reasonable priced or discounted?

Q: Hi,
I hold the above companies in my TFSA and would like to make the portfolio more concentrated for better upside potential. If you were forced to cut three positions and add the proceeds to any of the existing holdings, which one’s would you choose? Long term growth is the only objective.
Thanks
