Investment Q&A

Q: Hi, There has been recent commentary and reports from analysts that trucking sector is witnessing a slowdown and getting hurt with lower rates. They also say that these headwinds may persist for at least later half of this year. ( or longer, depending upon, how recession scenario plays out ). Recent results from companies in the sector has only confirmed this.

Specific to TFI, analysts have commented that the discount is already reflected in the current valuation and M&A will likely offset the slowdown impact to certain extent, over time. However, consensus is that any near term recovery is unlikely.

We have a small <1% position in TFII and were contemplating to eliminate it and use the funds to add to existing 1% position in CP or to further add to ATS { better momentum and visibility ).

What are your thoughts ?

Thank You

Q: Hi Peter,

We have TFII and WSP as equal weighted stocks. Is there enough difference between the two to retain both stocks in our RRSP's? If we were to consolidate, which stock would be preferred?

Thank you

Q: These 4 securities represent my industrials holdings. I wish to add to this sector and would appreciate if you can suggest another company that would be a great complement to this group.

Q: Hello 5i,
I own these four industrial stocks. Could you please rank them for growth?
Do you feel it necessary to own all of them or is it logical to consolidate.
Lastly, are there any US names you would rank higher than these?
Thanks for you insight!

Q: Hi, Transports got hit hard ( Fedex results and general market sell off?) on Friday, pulling TFII and ATS with it, down 3% and 4%, respectively to $159 and $54. Do you continue to believe these two companies to be your favorites in the sector ( besides CNR/CP ) ? If so, is it a decent price level to accumulate/add to our very small 0.50% position in each company or you would prefer to wait ? Thank You

Q: Switch AC for TFII? I want to keep the sector. I was thinking of first waiting for AC to bounce of its drop. What do you think? Thanks.

Q: Good morning 5i
Anything you say about what to add to a tfsa is interesting. This morning you responded to just that question and suggested, amongst others, tfii. You said you would add in the hopes of an upturn. As i look at the chart, though, i see that it has been rising quite well, already. Are you expecting a big move here? I ask because I have such good profits from it that i have been thinking about using it for charitable giving. If you think there is a particularly bright future for it, though, i may hold off.

I was also a bit surprised that you didn’t include Boyd. I know thatyou can’t include everything, of course. But i thought that you are positive on it. What would be the reason for not including Boyd in this group?
Thanks for the excellent service

Q: If you were setting up a TFSA with CAD equities only, what five stocks do you recommend ranked by order you would purchase. If you could give a brief reason as to why you recommended each equity, that would be appreciated.
