Investment Q&A

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

Q: Which do you think have the most potential in the current environment in an RRSP? Currently own TCN at a loss and wonder if I shouldn't switch. Also own DIR.

Thx

Q: Hi Team,
I am having a hard time deciding which of these 3 names to add new funds to today. ATZ, ATS, and CROX. Of these 3 which would be your best bet if aiming for top potential returns over the course of the next say 3-5yrs? Could you please rank in order of buying preference here along with any comments on the potential of each name you wish to add? Thanks

Shane.

Q: I'm currently overweight financials. Mainly due to new positions in BN/BAM/TD. With over 21% in financial broken down as follows would you begin to trim or consider BN/BAM diverse enough not to be a financial and thus reducing the overall financials concentration to 13.5%

BNS - 2%
BAM -2%
BN - 4.5% been growing this position (ideally want it to be 6%)
EQB - 1% new position
GSY - 2.5%
JPM - 2.6%
TD - 2.21% new position
Visa - 4.23%

10 year investment horizon.

Your thoughts are appreciated

Don

Q: Dear 5i,
In regards to the March 21, article written by Michael Huynh titled Canadian Financial Companies with Robust Balance Sheets. I believe the GICS sub-industry classification for GSY is "Consumer Finance". Assuming GSY was included in the screening process. Can you help explain where GSY did not meet your screening criteria. I believe in general your team likes this stock.
thanks

Q: Hi

In our cash accounts we sold energy stocks at the start of the year and have a large capital gains

Would be wise to sell BN for the loss and buy BRK.B?

Then get into BN later

Thank you

Mike

Q: Generic question: according to one money manager, a number of stocks are now being priced at “zero” …. clearly not zero , but well below traditional metrics for evaluating stocks.( FRC the most obvious example)

AND also arguing that this has not happened since 2008.

As always I am interested in the 5i perspective, please and thank you.

And can you think of stocks that fall into that category?

Q: I have been following this stock for several years and admit the chart looks nice , but find it extremely difficult to buy, especially with a
P/ E ratio of 50 in these difficult times.

Is this stock “ cheap “ on a historical basis ? Why is it so strong and what would make its strengths
weaken ? Is PE x50 justified ? Thanks. Derek
