Investment Q&A

Q: hi, if not already discussed, your thoughts on earnings/guidance. still a buy/hold?

Q: Hello 5i team,
I wanted to add to my WPM holding and was wondering if it is still ok to add at these levels?

For MG, it has taken a hit in the past year and wanted to initiate a position at this level, are you still comfortable with Magna or is there something more fundamental going on.

Thank You,
Anrew

Q: Hi, I would love your views on the railroads? Are they a buy at these levels or do you see further downside.? Would you consider one or more to be a good core holding for a retired reasonably conservative investor? How would 5i rank your most preffered North Amercan railroads please? Thanks in advance?

Q: please give me options for free websites that I can track my stocks on. (I was just using globe and mail but no longer subscribe.) I like the ability to see performance over 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 1 year, along with the usual dividend data

thanks

Q: I see that you and many analysts use forward PE instead of trailing when valuing a company. I understand that trailing PE is the recent past earnings, and forward PE is obviously the projected future earnings. But wouldn't it make more sense to use the trailing since its recent actual earnings, when the forward earnings are at best a projection or estimate, which is often quite wrong? Just curious why the industry standard seems to be the more inaccurate of the two. Probably because markets are forward looking, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thx

Q: Would you support replacing MFI with a combination of MRU and JWEL at the current price.

Thanks

Q: Good Day team 5i: Considering I am a long way away from my original purchase price of 94.50 and very unlikely to see that again , and considering my target date from before the pandemic needing these funds has shrunk to less than 2 years .. Funds are in a TFSA can I transfer to my unregistered account and have a loss of some value. If I chose to leave it in TFSA can you suggest a couple top replacement for MG? Tks and much appreciated Larry ( unless of course you feel I should hold )I do have other options for the funds needed.

Q: If YOU were a growth-focused investor building your portfolio, what would be the MAX weight (%) YOU would give to the following Canadian names without losing sleep at night? As always, the portfolio is for long term buy and hold with a 5-10 year time frame.

ATD

CNR

Q: Following these recent QA regarding BN.

Sep30 “ As per the latest annual financials, BN holds a 25.0% interest in Brookfield Asset Management (BAM), a 54.6% interest in Brookfield Renewable Partners (BEP.UN), a 73.9% interest in Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP), and a 34.5% interest in Brookfield Business Partners (BBU)”

Oct01: “Owning the three noted will provide higher income and somewhat similar exposure. But BN will prove the 'private equity' component of its businesses that the others have less of.”

I own BN since BAM-reorg and it did very well this year. If we look at it’s underlying assets : in the last year BAM/BBU did OK but not as much, but both BEP and BIP did poorly. May be a stupid question, why did BN do so well? Market speaking? “private equity” or other assets heavier than we think? Thanks ++

Q: Greetings 51 Team,
Please name two Consumer Cyclical and two Consumer Non-Cyclical companies (all Canadian and not necessarily from any of the 5i portfolios) that you would be comfortable starting a position in today. Looking for growth and income.

Thank you as always.

Q: Hello 5i researchers,

I have been holding ATS for a while and bought it around $55 in a registered account. Yesterday reading your answer to one of our member's questions, you mentioned about "we like ATS' business but it has had some fundamental issues over the last year..." could you please elaborate it a bit more for me to understand what kind of fundamental issues? any other better name or names in the sector to replace ATS that has some fundamental issues? Thanks

Q: Hello friends,

Unfortunately, I've missed Chris's webinar on October 2nd. Is there any chance that it was recorded and I can still see it?

Many thanks!

Q: Most sectors have done well as the market has reached all time highs in recent weeks.

Assuming that interest rates will continue to be cut over the next one to two years, what sectors do you think will continue to do well in this environment and what sectors do you think will struggle. What sectors would you avoid?

Thank You
Tim

Q: My Granddaughter(7) has become interested in saving her money,and would like to invest in something-like her PaPa does-lol.
If you were to pick one conservative growth stock to purchase and forget about for 10-12 years-What would it be? Thankyou

Q: Hi Team - for my RRSP I have cash for a full position, or 2 partials, and based on portfolio analyzer I am under weight on Utilities and Consumer Defensive. Are conditions decent to enter those areas now, and what would be your top 3 in each area. Bonus points for options that increase global exposure since I’m also needed some international exposure.

Q: I am a bit concerned about TFI price action recently - its down over 15% from high- and barely positive on the year. Any insight on this and is it a falling knife or a buying opp??

Q: Can you give us an update on why is this company's stock having a negative momentum over the last year. Down over $118.00 in the last year. Is there a recovery on the horizon or should I sell now.

Thank you

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
BYD is getting beaten up lately. At what price would you consider purchasing the stock ?? Thank you so much. DL

Q: Thinking about selling ATD (50% gain ) and entering ATS and QBR.
Your thoughts are appreciated. Thank you.

Q: TFII has been weak lately. There was a downgrade on Friday that may have been the reason for a big drop. Is there anything to be worried about? I know TFII is a 5i favourite. Can you go over the strengths and weaknesses that might impact performance over the next year.
