Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Team, Wondering if you could please suggest a good
ETF for growth - Canada and US.
Also a good ETF for Dividends - Canada and US.
This is for RRSP account.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
Is QSR a buy at this point in the market or can you recommend a better dividend payer in the same sector? I sold QSR in a register account with a very small profit to move the dividend to a non-registered account (still have not rebought yet since its dropping).

Q: I made a typo on a direct investing account and bought Alaris in ERR. I left the holding as was. Now, a few weeks later, I fell off my chair when I saw it has only 16 employees. Do you know anything about management’s ability and track record? I like the business model but wonder if the tiny team is such that it loves the thrill of risk so much that it gets drunk on it. ( I have known such teams at startups I bought in private placements. I have paid dearly for my lack of innoculation-- <shudder> ).

Q: What Utility would you prefer for a 3 to 5 year holding period?

Thank-you.

Q: I'm aware of your opinion ("agnostic") on Power Corp. Over the last 5 years POW has raised the dividend at a CAGR of 11-12%. Assuming the dividend continues to rise AND assuming no significant increase in fixed income rates for a few years, would not POW stock price rise similarly as investors look to safe, stable equities for income? Result could be combination of rising income and appreciating stock value.

Thanks - IslandJohn

Q: do you think telus spinning out telus international will give telus shareholders shares in new company or at the least a discount.

Q: Good afternoon 5i. At the moment I am invested only in Canada and need some international exposure. Could you suggest a couple of ETF's with a decent dividend, around 5%.
Thank you

Q: Telus just announced IPO of Telus International. There is very limited information so far. But it seems to be large enough with listing in USA and Canada.

Based on the limited information, does this make Telus shares more attractive?

Q: Our investment group holds these 3 stocks in our portfolio and they seem to have not increased over time. Are these companies you would recommend selling or keeping as we don't by and sell rather hold and hope for steady growth? What are the reasons for their recent performance?

Q: Given your answer today about BEPC having too much of a premium, do you advice selling it and buying BEP.UN instead?

Q: Hi Guys Happy new year
between these 2 companies which one would you think will have better growth in the next couple of years.

Q: Could you comment in general on this ETF please. It has not recovered in the same way other international ETF's have and yet prior to March it seems like it's been pretty stable for the last 5 years, declining somewhat in 2018. I bought a bit a few months ago and am thinking of purchasing more. Do you feel it has upside potential in the recovery and do you feel it's a buy, sell or hold at current levels? Do you think the dividend is fairly safe?
Thanks so much, your input in invaluable!

Q: How should or could existing shareholders benefit from the spin off of Telus International from Telus. See nothing in the news reports so far.

Q: I own ENB, FTS, and TRP but think I should position more into green/clean /renewable type energy companies. I do own AQN which I believe fits into the clean/renewable category. So I am thinking to sell one of ENB, FTS or TRP and replace it with a greener alternative. So which one would you sell and what would you buy to replace it with(can you provide more than one option)?
I would like to just take a moment to thank you all at 5i who have such a huge positive impact on my investing. Over the last few years, since signing up, you have given me so much more confidence in my ability to manage my own affairs. You are the perfect resource. There to lean on, answer my questions and point me in new directions and to new opportunities.

Q: I am fairly new to DIY investing and 5i. Have really appreciated the knowledge I am accumulating from your subscription. I am overweight in financials and would like to reduce. Currently own MKP (7%) and AI (2%). Could you give me your thoughts on these companies and rank them in order of “dividend safety/growth”? Thank you.

Q: Best Canadian value stocks any sector with 3%+ dividend yield that have the good growth prospects in 2021? For non-reg account, 5-10 year hold.

Q: I saw the Q's on this stock today and was intrigued by the outsized (to me) performance of BIPC vs. BIP.UN on the upside and now on the downside. Am I to understand that the growth is exactly equivalent and the price differential is strictly on the dividend taxability? I have trouble understanding the institutional (I assume mostly) thinking on this. How many years would it take of dividend savings to account for the difference? Or is that a dumb question?

Q: Happy new year ,
Are u guys as keen as mr Stewart in regards to this story ? Has some positive momentum which I know u guys thrive on , would u buy this name ?
Thx
Mark

Q: after saying many times that this stock at a low today of 80.75, either version is good to own, what is happening to the crash scenario of this version which is down from the high range you said it was ok to own (high of $94).??

Q: Hi, I had a great 2020 investment wise, thanks, great advice.
In my TFSA I have STC- PLC - CCL.B that I will add to. I also have $room for two or three additional stock to compliment them for diversity, could you suggest sometime for a growth but also conservative investor.
Also would you be ok with a small amount(play money) for QBTC.U or would you stay clear?
Thanks
