Q: Ross Healy, who typically does not make sensational statements lightly, spooked me yesterday during a podcast interview with Amber Kanwar. He sees tech stocks dropping 60% which will invariably pull other types of stocks down for the ride. He suggests moving to gold... could you suggest a couple gold stocks with strong balance sheets? A mix of large, mid and small caps would be great. Thanks!

Q: Which stock would you prefer?

Q: If the two companies, which is the preferred hold for the long term?

Q: Hi Peter and team,

Portfolio Analytics indicates a need to increase our Consumer Defensive sector holdings. Across our combined accounts for this sector, we also hold COST and DOL, as well as two ETFs (ZLB with 19% representation, and XST with 71.5% representation in this sector.)

I am considering adding roughly equal amounts of L and JWEL to achieve the goal, and realize that L is much larger than JWEL, as well as being more defensive. But I do note that JWEL appears to have greater momentum presently and has a higher dividend as well.

PA classifies our portfolio as ‘Risk Managed Growth’, and L and JWEL would go into an 82-year-old’s RRIF.

Would you endorse such a plan? I’d also change the 50/50 allocation if you suggest this.

As always, thanks for your assistance.

Q: Hi you reference the CEO as a genius. Any other companies with a CEO or management would could say are as close to PLTR management?

Thx

Q: Hi 5i,
In a recent answer regarding lithium it was mentioned that there are alternative technologies that may be disruptive. Is there a time frame that you could throw out there that these new technological breakthroughs might become commercially viable - best guess if this is an unknown.
Thanks

Q: I sold Cameco recently when it hit all time high. However I like the exposure to the Uranium space.

What would be your recommendation out of the 3 companies to start a position.?

Thank you,

Q: Hi..any company that you think can have a strong summer that you have your eyes on

Q: I am a longterm holder of DOL. They should continue to prosper as long as they continue to execute as they have been doing.

The one concern we hear about is the company debt. I would appreciate your comments on risk going forward as it relates to this company's debt?

Thank you,

Patrick

Q: I was thinking of buying some Stantec (STN) shares. However, I already own WSP. Are they too similar to own both? Thanks

Q: I am considering consolidating some of the listed companies because I have small positions in them. Do you have 2 or 3 favorites for a long term hold.

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i!

I was thinking of starting an initial holding in SES and am interested in hearing your opinion of the company. It seems to have good growth and pays a dividend. I would intend to keep it as a long term hold.

Cheers,
Tamara

Q: With Canada embarking on défense spending, which stocks would you be looking at that may benefit in this realm?

Q: hi 5i
Share price has ticked up and seems to have settled at the lower end of the auction price......As the closing date nears and auction closes how would you expect SP to respond.... in general, would a higher auction price be viewed as positive and how do you think shareholder should view the results...

I am a little surprised the shares have not continued upwards a little more positively....

Would the shares price be expected to stabilize at the auction price or just continue their previous trajectory downward after auction close...
thx

Q: Is DOL still a good investment opportunity for a longer term investor, even after today's dandy pop?

Q: Your thoughts on Dollarama's results. They seem to have a lot of pathways for growth. Keith

Q: Is it just the impact of the wildfires causing the big price drop today?

Q: Hello all,

I am helping aid my young adult children in developing a portfolio of strong companies that pay a dividend. They were not comfortable buying during the VIX 30-50 range so they have not benefited from the recent rebound.

They are looking at holding any of these positions for 5 years (when they may need to liquidate a bit for a down payment on a property)

Please note, the American equities would be CDRs and hedged.


Here are my questions:

What entry point/range would you be comfortable buying any of these securities listed?

Do you recommend half positions in any of them at this time? Please list.

Taking into account the time frame, are there any companies you would recommend not buying?

Are there any sectors (with a particular security) which perhaps I should consider that is not on my list?

Please mention if there are other securities that might be better in satisfying the stated objective.

Do you forsee any problems with this approach and do you recommend something else to help offset anything?

I know that you don't have a crystal ball but your opinion is appreciated.

Please take as many credits as required.

Respectfully,
Arturo
