Investment Q&A

Q: I was watching QST at 2.70 a few weeks ago but was waiting for the market to turn around before buying. Well it jumped up to 3.80 already. Is it to late to buy? should i wait for a December pullback?

Q: Hello, your service is great. I have a diversified Can. portfolio. I want to invest $120,000. in US stocks. What US stocks would be best for growth ? Bac, BBT, KKR, AIG, Hal, Qcom or other suggestions? Thanks very much . Helen

Q: what are the growth prospects of each of these for the next 1-3 years - please explain - thanks as always

Q: I have a fairly well diversified portfolio however I could use some more healthcare sector exposure. I have been looking at Cipher, Knight, Concordia and Merus to initiate a small position in my TFSA. I am interested in mainly growth and have expect to hold it 3-5 years at this point in time. From your past responses, I'm guessing you like Concordia the best but it seems fairly expensive to me. Which one would you prefer or is there another I should consider.
Like everyone else, I really appreciate the service you provide.

Q: Hi Peter & 5i Team,

In your answer to Paul on Oct 28 regarding energy stocks, you wrote
"... we think you could silo them into (light,heavy,tar), (Nat Gas), (service/drillers)... We think you could cover all of the areas with 6 names ".

Could you please recommend your favourite 6 energy sector names for a GROWTH investor for the above 3 silos.

Thanks in advance

Francis

Q: I am looking at setting up an educational fund for our 1 year old grandson with an initial
5k investment. Are there any tax implications when an RESP is set up by a grandparent and if so, would an investment account in trust be more appropriate?
Either way, which holdings would you suggest I start with.

Thanks for taking the agony out of some these decisions!

Q: I have Canadian oil and gas stock, pipeline, and power company representation. But I can't help thinking solar is an increasing part of the future, and fear I may be holding too much "old technology" investments, even given some of them have a small part of their income in windpower.

What do you think of Solarcity as a way of rounding out my power investments? Would there be an ETF that would capture solar that would be more appropriate?

Q: Nobody has asked about TIO since June. Do you have any new thoughts on this stock please? I absolutely LOVE being responsible for my own portfolio and appreciate your valuable help. My knowledge of the market has improved immensely simply reading answers to member questions and your reports are superb!

Q: I'm looking at buying into the small cap biosciences sector with only growth in mind. Two companies I am currently looking at are Merus Labs (MSL) and Knight Therapeutics (GUD). I realize they aren't the same business per se and do have risk, which of these two do you believe is a safer buy longer term.
Anything else I should consider?
Thanks for your help.

Q: You have suggested some great picks in the past ( I think on BNN) that were smaller names but with big growth profiles ie, DHX media, Amaya gaming... Any names or "top picks" with similar profiles? . Many thanks, T :)

Q: Do you have any preferences/comments for the cybersecurity space looking at medium term growth (ie 5 to 10 years)? The leading names appear to be in the US (ie Intel, Cisco, IBM) and then there are the most recent names - PANW and FEY-Q.

thank you,
Janice

Q: Amaying Gaming just issued a press release announcing a strategic review of Cadillac Jack. Do you think they are putting Cadillac Jack up for sale? It may make sense.
Thanks, Peter

Q: MSL has been going up the past week, do you have any news? Can you please give your opinion on this company or suggest another company for a TFSA.

Q: Hi Team,

Can we get your assessment of Solium, Legacy & BioSyent under current market conditions, debt levels, survivability and prospects over the next couple years. Would legacy be able to withstand a sustained period of low oil prices?

As always, thanks for the hand holding during these difficult times. It made a difference for some of us.

Q: I have some money set aside and would like to take advantage of the pullback and buy 2 industrial stocks and 2 consumer stocks. I already own BGI.UN and DH, and the rest of my portfolio is well balanced in other sectors. I am looking at a long term hold with a view of overall return combining growth and div.
I'm looking at the following stocks in Consumer: SJR.B, BCE, T, PJC.A and ATB.B
And the following in Industrial: WTE, CAE, CNR, MG and AC.B
Could you suggest 2 in each sector (or suggest another stock that may be preferable to my choices) and let me know the basics of the choice?
Thanks so much, Kim

Q: Hi 5i Team, With this correction what best 5 growth stocks would you consider adding to a TFSA for the long term?

Thank you,

Pat.

Q: Hi Peter

What is your favourite growth stock for new buying at this time? I have a well-diversified portfolio and am looking the stock for more than three year.

thanks,

J

Q: Hi..is there any real different between "The Intertain Group" and Amaya, would Amaya buy them out because they are a competitor ?? Thanks.

Q: I am in the process of rebalancing my portfolio to better match my target sector allocation. I am currently underweight in both healthcare and utilities. My only holding in healthcare is the US ETF (XLV), and my only utility holding is Brookfield Renewable (BEP.UN). Can you suggest one or two other names in each of these sectors that you would recommend for new buying at this time. In the Utility space I would prefer something other than a power producer since I already hold Brookfield. Could Telus (which I don’t own) be considered similar to a utility? My goal would be moderate growth with a long (several year) time horizon but in particular I like companies that are likely to hold up better than their peers in the event of a market downturn.

Q: This stock is doing very well in this market. Can it be bought and do you have a target price. Thank you.
