Q: Hello Peter and team,
The market is up today and the tech stocks are up considerably after the recent fed rate increase. Is it because the increase was small (i.e Tech stocks sold off on previous announcements of rate increases)? Any idea why Tecsys and ATS automation are not participating? Do you see Arc Resources and Whitecap doing better in the next few months.. On BNN, Eric Nuttal, felt oil will continue to do well price wise. Do you share that view?

Q: Hello 5i,

In our registered accounts we have BEP.UN, BEPC, FTS, AQN, BAM.A, BIPC, WSP. All of these stocks performed very well for 2+ years thanks to 5i. We trimmed each of the stocks to 1%-2% positions between August and October when prices were elevated with the intention of repurchasing if they dropped. With rising interest rates and inflation now it may not make sense to repurchase. Would it be viable to:
Retain one of FTS (2% position) or BEP.UN (2%) or sell both?
Sell AQN, BIPC,
Retain BAM.A and WSP, and increase each to 3% or 4% with the proceeds from the sale of the other stocks?
or Any other suggestions?

Thank you

Debbie and Jerry

Q: I have been looking at recommendations in the questions and have picked the companies listed above to look into.
Without considering sector diversification, would you say each of these individually are strong companies to invest in, or would you separate these into different tiers?
In what order would you take a position in these stocks if you were to invest today? (e.g. may want to wait until prices for growth stocks like TIXT/TSU stabilize)
Also please provide suggested entry prices for each.

Q: Hi 5i
In answer to my question earlier today about where to best find earning report dates and estimates, you provided a link to a US site. Is there a decent Canadian site that does the same or nearly so? Just wondering where I can go to get a concise calendar of upcoming Qtly reports along with street consensus estimates, without having to search company by company. If such info is only available through payment of a fee to the provider, that's OK (depending on how much ...).
Thanks, for any further info about this you're able to provide.
Peter

Q: I'm in the fortunate position of sitting on a double here in just a few short weeks. NTR represents almost 4% of my quite well diversified portfolio in a cash account. I'd rather not pay CRA a capital gains tax but don't want to see my investment reverse either. What would you do? Partial sell to allow for zero cost? Nothing?

Thank you kindly,

Geoffrey.

Q: Do you feel loblaws is getting over valued.
I was surprised it is still only has pe of 20 times.
Is that traditionally high for a grocery stock. Is the price finally catching up to the fundamentals or is this a place of safety where people are hiding out till things settle down.
I have owned for years and wondering if i should take alittle off the table.
It still is at a comfortable weight in my portfolio as it didnt do much for the first 5 years that i owned the stock.

Q: Hello everyone at 5i!, I trimmed 30% from my nutrien holding since it has grown nicely . Now that I have my initial investment at hand, I was thinking I would like to add NWC to my portfolio. It seems to have a reasonable PE ratio and a decent dividend. What are your thoughts on NWC for a long term hold and is now a good time to pick it up ?Cheers, Tamara

I am trying to get my head wrapped around digital currencies. I think I understand the premise of bitcoin but am confused on the purpose of sovereign nations having their own digital dollar. What is the difference between the two?

Q: Good Morning,

I have recently retired and need to improve yield. The above noted holdings have a low yield or have not performed well.

Can you please rate from first to sell down to last to sell and possibly provide some basic reasoning.

Thanks very much.
