Investment Q&A

Q: Could you please clarify your answer to Bruce Dec 5. In your answer you first say NVDIA as the 'if we have to pick one' but then you go on to say if an investor is looking at only one, you say you would be picking BN should be the investors choice if choosing only one ?????
Also, the ranking doesn't seem to match up with those comments...please expand.

Q: Hey guys,

I know apples vs oranges but would selling out of Atd.b and purchasing Bn (making it 7%) make sense inside a "balance" portfolio?
Thanks
Jim

Q: Of the above companies which would you choose for a TFSA if you were to select only one? Please rank them in order (best to "less best") re your expectations for long term growth (say, over the next 10 years).
If you had only one pick for a long term TFSA hold of any stock (or ETF) without regard to CAD vs US, market sector or market cap, what would that be, assuming a young (mid-20's) investor with a currently well diversified, growth-oriented TFSA?

Q: My question is on trimming winning stocks. You will often comment on this question that it is about the size of the stock in relation to your portfolio. I have a number of stocks that are half positions which are up 100-200% so now are almost full positions so I don't "need" to trim them. But I'm often tempted to trim at a new high to take some profits with the idea of re-buying on a pullback. I realize this is market timing so I hesitate, but I've also seen thousands of dollars disappear on a downturn. I have bought some stocks I think of as longer term trades so I have sold them after a profit and it has felt good to cement that profit so to speak. But some stocks like Apple, or BN that I see as more core holdings -with these type of stocks do I trim or just leave them, let them run and buy more on a pullback with new money presuming I have more. Any further articles on this would be appreciated as well. Thank you!

Q: Three to five year time frame
Stocks to sell and name to replace with growth stock

BCE, NPI, AW.UN BEPC

Q: Would you please suggest 5 CAN and 5 US growth stocks for my TFSA. Thank you.

Q: How do you fell about HXQ in a 15+ year RESP?
I have held RBF619 (Science and Technology for 15 years and it has done wonders but it has the fees. Any other ETF's ? ZSP? XIC? OR would you be comfortable with just BN?

Q: I'm in BN and BX, would adding KKR be duplicative or additive ? It's hard to tell sometimes what these companies have for assets.

Thanks for your support.

Thanks

Q: What is the best buy today, only one.
Thanks Again

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Thanks to your persistent AND consistent faith in some of your high conviction stocks, my portfolio has done well! I just renewed my 5i Bundle subscription! (Your favourite pick BN alone paid for a few years worth of subscriptions!) My only request is to "fix" the search function in your ETF/MF Newsletter! Long over due my friend!!

I have asked this question several months ago and your answer once again proved VERY profitable! I had asked a few questions from different angles about NON-Correlated assets. Private Equity and Utilities and a few others ere mentioned by you. ALL of them are up till date!!

However at this current point in this cycle, post- election phase, how would you structure non-correlated assets? (To dampen my drawdown in Large caps/Tch/Financials etc., ) Any suggestions?

Q: Hello Peter,

At times you have stated "turnarounds seldom do" and I look at the future prospects of our Canadian economy thru that lens if the current gov't remains in power.
Could you list the sectors (and co's) that would be indifferent to and thrive in an imbecilic fiscal environment?

Thank you

Q: I hold both BN and BAM...
- I have a higher holding in BN in multiple accounts...
- I have done well on both...

- If You were to add to a position, Which one or Both?

Q: Hi 5i Team.

I have some names in my TFSA account such as ATD, ATX and ENGH (and maybe some others) that are laggers and would like to move out of them and into something with potentially higher returns.
I also own the other names mentioned above.
What are your thoughts and could you recommend 3 to 5 Canadian and/or US names with the reasons and entry points.
also own NVDA that has grown to a huge percentage of the account.
I know that I should sell some but it has been such a great performer.


Thank you
Joe

Q: From previous responses I am assuming you would buy BN over EQB for a long term hold.
My concern is buying BN after such a run.
Is there room for this run to continue based on its valuation?
I have found in the past you just buy the good ones and let them do what they do.
Is that the case here again.

Thinking of switching GSY for EQB for perhaps a little more stability and eliminate the risk of that interest rate cap adjustment potential.
Your detailed thoughts pls.

Q: Hi 5i, "...Brookfield Corp. scrutinized for stake in Peru toll road project plagued by allegations of ‘corrupt practices’..."

https://www.thestar.com/business/brookfield-corp-scrutinized-for-stake-in-peru-toll-road-project-plagued-by-allegations-of-corrupt/article_9629182a-a364-11ef-8826-2b980726b1dd.html


There are many proofs that indicates Brookfield knew about Odebrecht corruption in Peru and went ahead an bought at reduced price 57% of "Rutas de LIma" (HighwayToll systems) , Can this harm Brookfield credibility, and integrity and the stock. Sell/Hold?
thanks

Q: Regarding potential Trump tarrifs, do they apply to services also or only goods?

Do you see any of the companies (DRX, CLS, BN, PRL, Hps.a, ENB, Shop,.... ) affected by this?

I have gains on most of them. Would you sell right away and buy later,.depending on market outcomes?

Would you have a different strategy for stocks that I plan to sell in 1 year vs 5+ years?

Q: Could you please rank these according to your expectation of best mid-to-long-term return?

Q: If you own BN is there any particular reason to also own BEP.UN and BEPC?

Q: Hello
Brookfield Corp stock has been drifting lower after making a high of $85, despite strong results. We started a position just before and after results were announced with an average price of $81.50, for a long term hold.

Do you consider $78 to be a decent level to add some shares or wait for a further pull back ? Not sure if following was a reason for the downward pressure, today.

It was reported by a news website EI confidential that Brookfield intends to offer EUR 7 Billion, to buy Spanish Drug maker Grifols with an offer of EUR 10.50, below the price its trading now.

Thank you

Q: Can you provide a comparison between these two equities? Which one has a higher growth profile? Which one is higher risk?
