Investment Q&A

Q: Looking at total return on a 3 to 5 year hold, how would you rank these companies (highest first)

Q: Out of the following 10 stocks - what would be your top 5 right now for future growth.

ASML, COST, MELI, MKL, WSO, ATD, BN, CNR, CSU, X

Q: I want to examine a severe geopolitical scenario and identify potential economic beneficiaries. If heightened geopolitical tensions—say, related to Venezuela—were perceived as creating conditions where China might move against Taiwan, this could disrupt the semiconductor supply chain, particularly affecting TSMC's advanced chip production. I'm anticipating major impacts: NVIDIA's valuation would likely plummet, AI development would face significant setbacks, and chip manufacturing might shift toward Samsung or Intel. AI data center construction and operations would be severely disrupted, hurting related infrastructure companies. In such a scenario, are there any sectors or companies that might actually benefit?"

Q: Which stock FSV or GOOG will have more growth going forward? I understand they are in different sectors.

Thanks for your service!

Q: Wondering about selling Walmart and replacing it with Atd.. have held Walmart for short time but have more interest in a Canadian company now.
Thanks, Lesley

Q: In my portfolio, I’m only interested in long term compounders. For example, in the compounding software portion of my portfolio I own CSU, TOI, LMN, VHI and PNP. I am reviewing my allocation of Canadian Industrial stock holdings. What would be your top five small to mid cap Canadian compounding industrial companies that you own for 5-10 years. Thanks for your wonderful service and Happy New Year.

Q: Can you provide a list of your top 3 down trodden stocks that have faced more macro-related challenges, but still quality companies. I’m looking for companies oversold with a 2 year investment timeline.

Q: A number of anlaysts have this rated as a buy, what is your opinion?
Thanks

Q: Good morning if you had to own one of these in a long term RRSP which would you side with and why?

Thanks

Q: Good evening!
You mentioned this new company as 'small' in a previous comment, but they now appear as part of the TSX 60, notably number 2 on the list in dividend returns (to Telus). How can this be small and make that list?
Also, can you tell me what their payout ratio would be, referencing cash flow of course, not 'official' earnings.
As well, I asked another question about a week ago referencing which stocks to move into a TFSA from RIF. Did you receive that question?
Thanks!
Paul

Q: 1. Please recommend public or private companies in the "carbon capture" technology space to track.

2, Your thought on Nuclear power technology moving forward and companies to invest in on related material, build, service & maintenance

Happy Holidays and thank you for your service !

Q: I’m doing a fairly major portfolio clean-up and account optimization exercise.
Specifically, I’m removing dividend-oriented and income-generating stocks from my TFSA and RRSP that are better suited to a non-registered account, and reallocating TFSA/RRSP capital to assets that benefit most from tax sheltering.

At a broad level, I’d appreciate your perspective on:

• Which CAD and USD names are best suited to an RRSP (e.g., U.S. dividend payers, global compounders, cyclicals, etc.)
• Which CAD and USD names are best suited to a TFSA (long-term growth, compounding, low income leakage)

I’m less interested in yield optimization and more focused on long-term after-tax efficiency and proper account placement.

If helpful, feel free to answer at a category level (e.g., “U.S. dividend aristocrats,” “Canadian compounders,” etc.) or with specific examples you think are particularly well-suited.

Thanks — looking forward to your thoughts.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i,
Like the momentum of both companies. Like the strong net cash position of TIH.
Which one would you pick of the 2 for the potential highest return over the next 5 years?
Is it FTT based on 5i starting a new position in your Balanced Portfolio? Or is it a coin toss?

Q: I would appreciate your guidance on investing available cash in my portfolio. I recently sold my NVIDIA holdings, and as a result, approximately 50% of my RRIF investments are currently in cash, and about 5% of my non-registered (open) investment accounts are also in cash. I currently hold VFV, VGRO and XIC in my open account along with approximately 20 equities. I do not currently hold any ETFs in my RRIF account. My objective is to fully invest this cash before the end of 2025. I would appreciate your recommendations on the following:
• Top five investment ideas (ETFs and equities) suitable for my RRIF account, and
• Top five investment ideas (ETFs and equities) suitable for my non-registered (open) account,
with the following parameters in mind:
• Investment horizon: 5 to 10 years
• Risk profile: Moderate
Thank you in advance for your assistance. I value your research and look forward to your recommendations. Best wishes to you and your team for the Holiday Season, and warm regards for a healthy and prosperous New Year.

Q: Tax issues aside, is there a clear favourite here for an in kind contribution to our TFSA's come January 1?

Thanks,
Terry
Best of the Season
