Investment Q&A

Q: Retired dividend-income investor, who trims-adds around core positions. I own XIT (my proxy for tech) in my TFSA and have been trimming as dictated by my asset allocation targets. Done very well with XIT.

Q#1 = Looking to start adding again...where would you step in?

Q#2 = A related question is regarding the recent sell off in tech. A BNN guest said that this current drop is way overdone and sees tech at least 20% higher by year end. Your thoughts?

Thanks...Steve

Q: Hello Peter,
There is a lot of chatter about rotation to value stocks. Nuvei and Lightspeed are growth stocks, but after the short report, are they getting into value territory and if so, would you think this is a good time to enter those names with an initial position? Also, from your experience, why would a short report damage the stock for longer period (as in case of Nuvei and Lightspeed) when the market liked those at higher levels but now all of a sudden, institutions don't seem to be backing up the truck. Could this imply that the short report had some merits as i would have thought as a minimum, the leaders in these companies would have stepped up and bought more stock? Lastly, if inflation is a concern, would an etf for banks like zeb a better choice than individual banks? Thanks very much.

Q: 1. Can you please comment on Adobe. If it is a good long term hold.
The valuation of the company.

2. I would like to know how REIT and insurance stocks perform in a high inflation environment.

thank you

Q: Can you please tell me what the total returns were for the S&P 500 and the TSX for both 2021 and 2020? Thx

Q: I hold the above securities in my TFSA in relative equal $ amounts. Putting aside asset allocation, which company would you invest new TFSA money in?

Thanks Ken

Q: I see your answer today re: Gregory's question on Nutrien. At what level would you step in to add to a position. Looking at the technicals, I think the next level of support is in the $89-90 range, so we are close. Would you step in now or let it ride for a bit?

Thanks...Steve

Q: What is your take on Stelco buying a 40% stake in football and soccer in Hamilton? The CEO has been a part owner of another team and has been CEO and/or on the board of a variety of other companies.

Is this likely to be a benefit to Stelco shareholders or would any benefit require selling the sports teams?

Q: Hi 5i!

Which high quality stocks would you look at to take profit of the recent dip?

Many thanks,

Frank

Q: Exit of CEO seems rather abrupt. Any feelings on this?

Q: Hello Peter, I like your article on the National Post about the five areas to invest in for 2022. I have a few questions: for the small cap space, would Aritzia , ATS Automation and Topicus fit the category? In the large cap space, would AMZN be a good stock (instead of AAPL) as it has not done much in 2021? what do you think of the renewable energy space as it did not do well in 2021 (i.e BEP, etc). Lastly is the definition of small caps in relation to market caps less than $1 billion or ? Thanks very much. Happy new year

Q: Hi 5i and Happy New Year!

I hold the above noted stocks/ETF in a TFSA.
The only 2 that are above water are Nanoxplore (GRA:CA) and PayPal (PYPL:US).
Question 1). Which would you recommend keeping?
Question 2). Which would you recommend selling?
Question 3). With ESG values in mind, what would be your top 3 CAD stocks and top 3 US stocks for this year's $6000 TFSA contribution?

Thanks for all that you do!

Q: Last week Stelco announced a licensing agreement / partnership with a company called Primobius to enter the Electric Vehicle Battery recycling space. Sounds forward - looking and in the emerging green energy theme , but I have no ability to assess the immediate and longer term implications for the company.
Your insight would be appreciated .
Thank-you.

Q: In my TFSA, I’m holding ATZ,CSU,GSY,TOI and LSPD. I’d like to split this year's $6000.00 allotment in January between two of these 5 stocks. At this time considering a 3-5 year hold, what would you suggest and why? Thanks and btw, it’s because of 5i that I’ve been able to achieve an 85 per cent return in my TFSA. The advice and info I glean from the questions, portfolios and reports are invaluable. Keep up the great work on our behalf. Best investment I’ve ever made is joining 5i.

Q: For 2022, which would be your "bottom 10", least favourite, large to medium sized, canadian listed companies? (It's ok if you choose to offer up more than 10)
Many thanks for you great advice and a very Happy and prosperous New Year.
John

Q: On January 12/21 you picked TRI over TIH. Throwing TFII into the pot which would you pick now for steady growth with a 3 to 5 year hold? Would you please rank for the greatest capital gain and least volatility. Thank you and have a very merry Christmas.

Q: Hi!
I am thinking about investing in L. Is now (the waning days of 2021) a good time? Or should I wait a bit? L seems to have spiked over the last months....

Q: Do you know of any news on Richards Packaging that would account for the 8% plus gain today?
