Investment Q&A

Q: If you could choose only 1 US stock to invest your entire portfolio in for 10 years, which one would you invest in today? (clearly you would never recommend only 1 stock for an entire portfolio, but if you were forced to, which stock do you have the most faith that it could likely beat the S&P500 index over that time period?)

Q: Hi. Follow-up on your previous EQB good results quarter question. Being a rookie investor I just don’t understand after such a good quarterly report why the stock went on sale down $9.99 at one time today. Can you explain in plain layman’s term why or at least give a guess why such a big drop? If this report would have been horrible does that mean the price would have jumped? Just when I thought I knew how the game worked this change has added some confusion to my thought process. Thanks again for all that you’se guys do for us amateurs. Ken. :-)

Q: Hi Team,
Can you give a brief lowdown of EQB please. What is the bullish story with them? Strengths, risks etc. Do you see more upside in them compared to the traditional big banks? Also; looking back at a 10 yr chart on eqb they seemed to have struggled in the past to maintain any sort of uptrend. I see they had a big run up in 2019 and 2021 but only to have a drastic crash back down again. What caused the last crash in 2021 from the mid 150's to 75 range? And is this issue resolved? Is this a comeback story? I don't really know the history of the bank. Thanks

Shane.

Q: Hello Peter,

The insurance sector has been outperforming this year and I am wondering if it is still time to add to sector weight.
Your preferred choice here is Intact Financial and if I do not increase my sector weight, I will have to replace with selling either SLF or TSU.
What is your opinion?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Dear 5i
I`m reading that some analysts see CLS as a stock that won`t do any better than what the market in general is suppose to return , and as such is not worth the investment maybe when compared to other stocks . What would you say ? Also EQB or GSY and why ?
Thanks
