Q: Hello, I am wondering about Toromont Industries. Do you see it being negatively effected if there are tariffs implemented by the US? I will be retiring in next 2 years looking for something safe with decent growing yield that can be a hold over the next several years in a non-registered account.
Thanks

Q: Which Canadian Sectors and subsectors (Industries) are least likely to be affected by Trumps tariffs if enacted? It would be great if you could rank those in terms of risk to our portfolios.

Q: I am wondering if I should exit a small position in MG that I have in a registered account. It is trading near it's low and it pays a decent dividend. I am not sure that the dividend is safe and I am worried about the Trump affect on the auto industry. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

Q: Greetings 5i Team,
I hold these securities in a TFSA and am looking to add a new position. At the same time, I will be trimming some of these as they have done very well.
Could you make a few suggestions for a new addition? Growth is the objective and diversification need not be overly considered (I am well diversified within other accounts).
Thank you for providing this great service.

Q: What's causing TFII to buck the strong sell-off trend today? I don't see any news but there must be something up.

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor.

I've held NWC since 2019 and have done quite well, averaging roughly 15%/yr. I have trimmed and added over the years. Late last year I trimmed at just under $50. It has since ran to $55 and corrected roughly 20% to $45...now at $47. I see it's P/E range over 5 years has been 7-35-ish, now at 17. I was thinking of topping up again. To me a good price would be $45 and a great price would be $40, even though I'd happily buy where it is now.

From a Trump tariff point of view, my research shows mostly northern Canada, plus USA, then Caribbean as it's markets....any concern here?

Your thoughts on the current valuation, my entry top-up ideas and the Trump tariff would be appreciated....thanks....Steve

Q: Doing my semi annual balancing. Have some money to add to one, two or all three of the named companies. Looking at a 3 to 5 year time frame, what would you suggest. (With your thoughts on the subject)
Thanks. ram

Q: Hi 5i team,

I'm looking to deploy some new TFSA money for a 15-20+ year hold, ideally for a CAD stock given the current high US exchange rate. I currently have more tech than other industries with stocks like NVDA, SHOP, GOOGL, CSU, MFST, LMN, TOI and TTD.

I'm looking for some non-tech growth CAD options. Can you please recommend and rank 5-10 options in order of their leadership and balance sheet?

For CAD non-tech stocks, I currently own WSP, TVK, GSY, BN, EQB, ATD, BYD, ATZ, HPS, SLF, TD, TFII, LULU, WELL, CS, and ATS. Would you add or start new positions in your recommendation?

Q: Another question on my semi annual balancing exercise. With the understanding that the rest of my portfolio consists of conservative growth, dividend paying large caps and that I am looking at a 3 to 5 year time frame. Please indicate the those companies you would carry at a 5 % ish level, those that you would carry at a 2% to 3% level and those that you might not carry at all. Much appreciated ram

Q: I am thinking of adding to my position at an entry price of $171. Do you think tariffs could provide an opportunity to buy it at this level? Or would you suggest another entry price?

Q: Could you please rank the following in terms of 2 year growth prospects, irregardless of risk? (first most growth, on down the road....) Thank you!

TD, SHOP, VIU, BN, RTX, ROAD, UBER, GLXY, CRM, TRI, ATZ

Q: Will a 25% tariff affect these companies?

Q: Just a curiousity.

With the fires in California, a lot of houses will have to be rebuilt. How much a role do you think Canadian lumber would play in that rebuild?

Trump says they don't need Canadian lumber but I'm sure he wasn't taking this sudden need into account.

Q: It’s now 2025, new Canadian leadership coming and reduced regulations/government in the US. You suggested on a reply today how a 50% US - 40% CAN - 10% Global portfolio mix might be right for today’s environment. Based on this, what is YOUR best ideas for a brand new $1M+ portfolio? Assume average investor, 15 year investment horizon with reasonable risk tolerance and loves when stocks go on sale..aka buy the correction attitude. As always.. you guys rock! Thanks. Don

Q: Good day,

I've picked up the above on 5i recommendations, and they started as small positions, but have done very well TVK+150%, VRT+200%, POWL +120%, and 3 months on CLBT+45%. I had a bit of usd in my TFSA and put it in CLS last week, already +20%. I assume much of that due to Trumps 'promises'.

Now that these small positions have become as much as say, my initial purchase amount on BAM, is this a thing that one adds to, since my initial buy was lower? Or now that it's a larger position you just let it ride? With 5is help and my own dd, I've been doing very on my winners:losers ratio, but have a hard time determining what is a good point to add in. Are these names worth adding to before they report next? Please rank in order with which you would add to.

Cheers,

James
