Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello Folks:
As the Covid situation has hastened the move to online shopping, some brick and mortar stores are going to have a much brighter future than others. Businesses such as Walmart and Best Buy appear to be having more success than others. I would appreciate your suggestions on choosing companies which have the brightest future integrating these two systems.
Thank you again for your great service!

Q: I have owned AYX for a year - its been an exciting ride with the stock peaking 66% higher than its current price (I did not sell) I find myself back to where I started. In your view, how much of this volatility is due to management erring on the side of conservative guidance and thus tempering market enthusiasm and how much is a reevaluation by the street that perhaps there are better growth opportunities out there. Since it is part of my US High Growth portfolio, I am perfectly fine with the volatility if it is still on track. My question is, if this were in your US High Growth portfolio would you be keeping it or replacing it with a higher conviction name. If your answer is to replace it, what would be your top 2 names.

Many Thanks
Scott

Q: I have been holding BIIB for a couple of years on hopes (I know, that is not an investment strategy) that their alzheimer drug would be approved. It has come close a few times and the stock has reacted very favourably only to fall short of approval and fall back in price. Do you believe that the recent setback will make BIIB dead money for the foreseeable future and its best to move on or is it too cheap and compelling a story to sell now? If BIIB was part of your US Growth portfolio would you keep it or sell in favour of a better growth stock. If your decision would be to sell, what would be the top 2 names for replacement with no regard to sector.

Thanks
Scott

Q: Hi, what do you think about investing in gold or gold companies during normal times with a growing economy? Does gold companies always perform poorly in "normal" conditions or they can outperform? For example do you think it is still ok to invest in gold companies or with the vaccine and a recovery start in 2021 these companies tends to underperform? If you think it is ok, which companies do you recommend for growth, like top 5?

Q: You have just won $100,000. The catch is that you have to invest it in 10 stocks right now, split evenly, and can't touch them for 10 years. You must buy only Canadian stocks. Any dividends will be invested in more shares of the issuing company. You can cash out after 10 years. What do you buy?

Q: Hi,
This is a hypothetical question, but out of the four stocks listed, which one would you consider that has the potential to be the next Shopify, or is there another that I have not listed?

Thanks

Q: Dear 5i
Between my wife and i , we have 3 RRSP and 2 TFSA accounts and 1 unregistered account .
In terms of stock picking for each account how would you go about choosing your stocks based on having 6 different accounts ?
For example i`d like to own 1-2 utility stocks per account and maybe 1 bank stock per account . Would you say that i`d be better picking a different bank / utility stock for each account OR just pick the 1 or 2 of the best stocks per category and have the same "best " stocks in each account ?
Thanks
