Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I am looking to invest approx. $6k in my TFSA and approx. $28K in my RRSP for Jan/Feb of 2022. My potential stock picks for each account are:

TFSA - AT, TOI, CJT
RRSP - T, BEP.UN, BAMR, SJ

I am leaning more towards T & BEP.UN for my RRSP since I do not have much exposure to Utilities in my overall portfolio exposure (Tip my hat to your Potfolio Tracking for pointing that out!)

I am leaning towards adding to AT (I already own a significant amount of shares but I am extremely tempted by the current stock price) or CJT since I believe the potential ecommerce headwinds for the company will be significant over the next few years.

If you could rank or provide your thoughts on these companies in this current (depressing) market environment it would be of great help. If you have better candidates to look at that would also be welcome. Plan to hold for 5 to 10yrs.

I am new to this service but just wanted to say that I have been very impressed with 5i so far. I appreciate all the work you do for DIY investors and wish you and your staff a Merry Christmas and a better new year.

Thank you in advance.

Q: I have losses as follows for potential tax loss selling:
AQN 18%
BEP.UN 24%
SJ 14%
What can you recommend as suitable proxies until repurchase, or which ones would you not repurchase (leaving their "proxies" in the portfolio).
Thanks, and I wish everyone on the team, and your readers, Merry Anytime and Happy Always.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Even though I share your positive outlook of Stella-Jones in your recent answer to Stuart, could SJ be a good candidate for tax-loss selling with the intention to buy it back later?

Your advice is always valuable and highly appreciated.

Q: Hi guys

In regard to Stella Jones I see it has hit a 52 low. In the past few months you have indicated it is cheap at higher levels. I remember in past years when it was the highest gaining stock on the TSX in a year. Any idea why it is so out of flavor, and what might be a spark that would see the stock move higher rather than lower?

Thanks

Stuart

Q: What do you see as likely impacts (quantum) to SJ of the US' emphasis on electricity distribution and railway infrastructure improvements.

Q: SJ is dropping drastically today, do you know why?
Also, years ago you referred to SJ as a Rip Van Winkle stock. Are you still feeling that way, or is out of favour? If you recommend to buy more, up to 1/2 a position, what target price do you think makes it worthwhile?

Q: Whats popping this 10% this week?


Thx

Q: When do these companies next report and what are expectations? Can you list which companies you would dispose of first, second ... etc

Q: How would you rate SJ? Is it a buy or hold? What do you see for it going forward? What are its strengths and weaknesses?

Q: Good morning, 5 i team!

Your thought on a list of all your A graded companies covering almost all sectors for a TFSA account, equal weighted, long term hold. We will review periodically based on your report monthly.Thank you!

Q: Peter; Could you update your opinion on CFX please? Thanks.Rod

Q: Hi there,

I am looking to consolidate and sell some stocks. I have listed my stocks that are not performing and would rather invest elsewhere.

Any of the above stocks recommended to hold / sell?

Thanks in advance.

Q: Should I sell my Stella Jones and Logistec stocks in order to purchase Topicus and Goeasy? I have a 10+ year horizon and want to maximize growth.

Q: thoughts on the quarter please?

Q: Your thoughts please on Stella's recent qtr? Buy, sell or hold?

Q: Of the listed which 2 would you think have the greatest growth potential for a TFSA account over the next 5 years ? Could you suggest list any two others which you might think have better potential irrespective of sector.
Thanks
Jeff

Q: Morning 5i,
The company description for SJ says that the utility poles division brings in the most revenue of any division. Where I live there's recently been a substantial amount of new road work - the SW Calgary ring road extension - and for the miles and miles of new road all one can see are miles and miles of metal utility poles, which I assume SJ did not fabricate or supply.
Is SJ's main revenue producing division in danger of quickly becoming obsolete in the market place, and if that's too pessimistic an outlook is it at the least giving up substantial market share to whoever is providing the metal poles? (And who might that be?)
Thanks,
Peter

Q: i have owned SJ for many years but as i transition to retirement i am looking for more income. Would you hold this for the potential upside and if you were to replace with something with more income, what would be your recommendation?

Q: Can you tell me your thoughts about the long term prospect for this company and why do you think it has been such a weak performer over the last month? Do you think it's growth has peaked? I've held this since 2014 and added a bit more in 2015 for an average entry price of around $32.00. Should I hold or sell?

If I was to replace this company in my RRSP could you give me three alternate companies in the material sector I should look into as possibilities for long time hold, hopefully with dividend and growth prospects?

Q: Would you agree that SJ is a solid investment, fairly valued at the moment and current price is a good entry point? Would you take a position at this time? If not, what would be your price target?
