Q: Hi Guys

I have owned Smart Centres for a while and done prety good by it but thinking I might sell that and add to my 1% position in Tricon. Where do you see them in terms of current pricing and future potential? Looking ahead over next 5 years which do you think will be the better position to hold?

Much thanks

Stuart

Q: Morning 5i team, thanks for all the great advice you supply to the members.
I have $50K to invest and would like your advice. This is what I’m currently holding in my non registered account.

Canada
AC, BYD, GSY, LSPD, SHOP, TDB3098, TOI
US
AAPL, SQ, CRWD, CSX, ETSY, MA, MSFT, NVDA, PYPL, UXI, ROBO, U

Considering my high exposure to Tech and your last market update, I might need to consider more consumer cyclical and financial stocks as well as others to balance the portfolio. I’m looking to have a mix of growth and value holdings.

I would appreciate your recommendations on new Canadian or US acquisitions and possible entry points. Can you recommend one of two of the US Tech stocks to sell and replace it with GOOG.

Please take as many credits a you see fit.

Thanks
Joe

Q: It looks like this is close to the time to start buying cyclical stocks. Would you agree? Which cyclical companies do you think have the most potential to become three baggers in the next three years. Not looking for ten baggers! LOL

Q: It appears that the acquisition of Link is going to happen. Is this going to be a catalyst for the stock? Investors don't seem to be convinced of the benefits of the deal since the stock after a jump Thursday is somewhat flat Friday.
I'm deep under water on this one. I can be patient when a stock is broken but not so sure if the company is not broken in this instance. Now what?

Q: Hi Team,
The stock performance of Well is a bit perplexing to me as of late. I understand that growth stocks in general have gotten slaughtered the last year. But this is a Health company (which I thought in general are supposed to fair well in "recession" type environments). The company so far has proven to be growing at a very high rate. Last numbers beat estimates if I remember correctly, and guidance upgraded. It had received some Price Target upgrades from analysts after the last release. Yet the share price continues to drift lower. Canada in general seems to have a healthcare "shortage" right now if you believe what the media tells us. You would think a company with "telehealth", which I think will have great future growth and help ease contstraints on hospitals somewhat would be catching the eye of long term investors here. As well, the CEO has a proven track record as building up a company and selling it. Am I missing something, or could this set up be one of the most compelling on the tsx today for long term buyers at this level? Also, is Well still a relatively "unknown" company to the investment world in canada? It seems that getting in early with unknown companies that end up sucessful can sometime generate outsized returns over the long haul. As is the notorious (10 baggers) everyone can dream of finding once in a lifetime. This all being said, should I be buying today for the buy and hold strategy? Your comments are appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Hi, Could you please compare the two Telcos with respect to their current valuation, historical average and past performance, respective to each other. Also, how would you rate them for future dividend growth and capital appreciation. If we own both, what would be your choice, if we wish to buy more of one of them, Today. Thank You

Q: Hi,
I own CSH.UN and am thinking of selling it and buying Sienna Senior Living but a friend of mine has suggested Freehold Royalties.
Both completely different market segments but could you give me your thoughts on these based on an income portfolio.
The money being invested is not a large portion of my portfolio but don't want to loose it either.
Or is Chartwell a keep?

Thanks
Warren

Q: With all the risks out there in the investing world these days it's hard for me to decide on an investing strategy that I can trust enough that I will hold equities even as they react and go down when each new risk becomes noteworthy. I've decided that the best strategy for me is to develop a list of:
1. high quality
2. inexpensive stocks
3. that pay dividends that are sustainable through difficult times.
Based on this strategy what Canadian companies would you invest in now that fit the criteria? I would appreciate 8 of your top picks.
