Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello, I’m looking to add consumer staples to my portfolio. That being said, after Metro’s recent decline post earnings would you consider the current price an attractive entry point? At current prices, do you have a preference between Metro or Loblaw. I plan on holding both in a non registered account where I prioritize yield, dividend safety and dividend growth. I’m leaning toward buying both but taking a bigger position in Metro due to the recent price drop and higher yield. Thanks.

Q: Hi team,
With no consideration for anything other than total share price return, which of these 2 names ( Well, CLS) do you see performing better from today’s levels? Well has been lagging for some time now . Wondering whether my investment is better spent buying into CLS now that it’s pulled back a little bit in the last couple days.

Thanks,
Shane

Q: Good Morning Everyone,

I’ve heard a stat that claims that ~80% of the returns since “liberation day” have come from 10 stocks. (MAG 7, PLTR, ORCL, AVGO)
Is this true? Is this unusual?

May I have 10 each of your favourite CAN and US value stocks to look at please?

Thank you!

Q: I try to keep 5i’s guidance on when to sell a stock in the back of my mind whenever I am looking at my holdings. Do you feel either of these two meet enough of the criteria to warrant selling? For instance I see commentary that (future) competitive landscape for NTR may have shifted materially with massive new supply entering the market? And notwithstanding recent DSG comments, it feels like something has changed? I appreciate your thoughts.

Q: Hi 5i,

There seems to be some good pull backs occurring in Lumine, Topicus, CSU and BN. At what point would you add to existing positions and would you have a recommendation on good entry points?

Thank you!

Q: Good morning

Ive held both of these reits for several years in my rrifs. On car I’m down 13% and on dir flat.

Over the past year car is down 15% and dir is down 5%. That performance doesn’t include dividends

Can you suggest 2 other equities that offer similar income but will come with additional growth?

With thanks

Sheldon

Q: When is it considered a market correction? I currently have money sitting on the side lines, waiting to buy a discount but unsure if a 5% drop is validated as a true “discount”. Would YOU be waiting for a certain drop in percentage before buying a dip? I understand that involves perfect timing which is impossible. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Q: Good afternoon.

I hold a +/-2% position of Westshore in a RIFF. It trades cyclically and generally in a range $20-$30, which I occasionally trade around. It seemed headed to the $30 range since the start of this year, until today when it dropped over 5% on much larger than normal volume.

Do you have any insight into what this was a result of? It happens unpredictably and infrequently.

Thanks,

Dave

Q: I have held MG in a non reg account and watched it drop and drop. I recently did a tax loss sale and exchanged for LNR, which has somehow rebounded almost 50% in a few months. However…the Canadian car parts sector is as volatile as ever. Is it worth exiting the sector? Any crystal ball suggestions at this time as to what I should do? I am inclined to exit the sector for brighter skies in a less volatile sector.
Even if they keep some business with margins, ie US factories, there is so much risk of sunk costs in process.

Q: Hi, all of these stocks look quite over-valued. Please rank them in order of which ones you might start nibbling on, along with general entry prices. I know you don't like to time the market, but there may very well be dips coming up! Thank you.
