Q: What are the opinions for TMX and Bird for the next 2 to 3 years? Will they have good growth? Are the current price good entry points?

Q: Hi Super Team!

Apologies for one of those “apples to oranges”kind of questions but I have some cash to deploy and am deciding between SE and ELVA.

I realize they are very different but if I’m looking for projected growth, reasonable valuation and some strong fundamentals which would you pick today?

This is for a 3-5 year hold and is a 3% allocation in terms of my total portfolio.

As always, thank you so much for all you do.

Q: Hi Team,
Can I have your take on NOW earnings? Beat on all metrics it seems like, yet the stock nose dives. CNBC has a headline saying "bear market is in for software stocks". What is a person to do now when I am stuck with NOW, and all the CSU family? Can I expect CSU, LMN, TOI to sell off a bunch more on earnings when they report like NOW is doing today even though they beat? I am finding it hard to decide whether to just Hold, buy more, or Sell? Usually selling is not a good long term idea in a proven quality name, but maybe this is different this time? However selling a sector that is being oversold might be a bad idea if I am expecting to invest it in momentum names at their "highs" (such as MU) that might roll over at any time...that would be a bad scenerio. Today is an awful day. My portfolio has peaked last October and still has not came back since and continues to fall. Losing confidence in holdings I thought were all quality names..

Thanks for any input you may have,

Shane.

Q: Hello,

Do you think the current drop in share price is a good entry point or is it better to wait? This is for a starting position, I don't have any grocery sector holdings in my portfolio.

Thanks

Q: I am considering selling a full TFII position in registered accounts and replacing it with CN. This for a multiyear hold. I like TFII but wonder if there isn't more upside in CN. Your thoughts, please. Thanks

Q: I am looking to invest in a solid high quality company with a good balance between dividend growth and earnings growth. Would you please add your 4 other favourites to my list of 4 and rank them from highest conviction to lowest for total returns over 1) a 1 year hold and 2) a 3-5 year hold.


Thanks for the great service

Q: I currently don't hold any companies in the software space and I am looking to add some of these to my current portfolio. How would you rank them in order of purchase for a long term hold?

Q: Hi,

In October ’24 I asked 5i to identify:

Q: Wondering if this stock is worth long term investment

Q: I have a LIRA account and don’t plan to make any withdrawals for the next 15 years. I’m looking for “buy-and-hold” stock and/or ETF investment ideas that would suit this long-term timeframe.

I’m open to a mix of individual stocks and ETFs, across both Canadian and U.S. markets. Given the long horizon, I’m comfortable with experiencing periods of market volatility.

Any additional suggestions on how you would approach this situation if it were your own account would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
