Investment Q&A

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

Q: CLS is near $100 today, would this be a good moment to initiate a position? Would you wait further and keep the cash for now? Would you initiate a position at 2%? It is for a TFSA and a long-term hold. Alternatively, should I bolster my position in two other growth names (PRL to 4%) and KSI with a position similar to that in the growth portfolio. All in TFSA. Thanks.

Q: Stocks are being pummelled. But as always, hopefully they will come back but it may take a while longer than normal. Trump is not normal. If one understands the risk, would you suggest buying some names that are being particularly hit today (eg SHOP -15%)? If so, can you suggest a few names?

Q: What should I understand about “Target Price?”

For example, what is the implied time horizon?; is this meant to guide investment decisions of buying and selling based upon forecast highs and lows?

Since you include this in your Company Profiles I assume that it provides something valuable.

Q: Good day! Many thanks to 5i providing a rudder (and sometimes an anchor) on this rollicking journey.

I have been slowly accumulating CNR for the past couple of years and am now considering whether CP is better positioned over the next decade. I am currently down 8%.

Can I get 5i’s opinion on CN vs CP given each company’s
-past performance,
-quality of management,
-valuations,
-EPS growth projections
-CAN-US trade gyrations
-any other material factors

Thank you!

Q: Good afternoon 5i
I have been hanging onto nfi, thinking there might be brighter futures. Recently, however, I have been reading about the prominence and advanced features of Chinese electric vehicles, including busses. It seems that the only thing keeping them out is tariffs. I am really concerned that if they had free reign that the hopes for nfi would dwindle. Tariff policies can be changed. What likelihood of more permissive tariff policies for Chinese electric vehicles happening.
Thanks for your great work

Q: How safe do you think Magna’s dividend is?

Current earnings/cash flow seem to cover the dividend quite well, and buybacks could always be stopped/reduced if needed to maintain the dividend.

Even if it takes a few years for the auto industry to recover, Magna’s over 5% dividend yield at least pays us to be patient (assuming Magna can adapt to whatever the future of the auto industry looks like)?

Q: Will artificial intelligence utilization in finance and markets be able to replace stock pickers and in the end financial advisers/analyst since analysis of companies data will be faster and perhaps more reliable and objective than performed by a human irregardless of his skills and experience. Already automated portfolios are created by a computer based on certain investment goals.
I would be interested in your perspective on this matter.
Thank you
Miroslaw
