Investment Q&A

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

Q: Assuming the current selloff continues, VIX goes up to 35+, and recession is almost certain in the US. Regardless of sector, what US/CAD stocks YOU would buy for capital appreciation if you have CAD$ 100,000? YOU plan to hold these stocks more than 3 years and you believe these companies will survive the economic downturn no matter how hard it will be.

Q: Hello,
Is today a good day to invest in Canadian Company CGI? What is a good target buy price?
Also I hold Amazon in an RRSP and Vanguard in an RESP. Is it a good time, with the market drop, to increase holdings?
Thank you,
Jovan

Q: Hi 5i,
Could you provide your opinion of the likely direct and indirect impact of the promised US tariffs (or just the threat of same even if they don't ultimately come to pass) on the 1-to-2-year SP of the five noted names? I 'm not confident in my ability to discern which companies have a significant degree of immunity (although I think these 5 may).
Thanks,
Peter

Q: Hi 5i,

My portfolio does not have any meaningful allocation in the basic materials sector. Given the recent drop in equities (and possible future declines) was looking to add some resource stocks. CS and TECK.B in the copper sector looked interesting with the data centre/ chip boom underway.

What are your thoughts on these companies and is there a preference? What would you consider to be a good entry price in the potential market dips to come?

Would also appreciate any other resource stock ideas you might have in this current market.(Aside from Nutrien I know your a fan of and I already own.)

I'm not averse to risk and looking to hold at least 5+ years.

Thank you in advance.

Q: With the pull-back, I want to take positions in the above at an appropriate weighting for a long term hold - the Canadian holdings and NVDA at full position, the others at 2-3%. Could you mark them at todays levels as buy, partial buy, watch or don't buy, and make any appropriate back-up comments. Thank-you!

Q: I am getting ready to DCA into these stocks in an unregistered account with higher than average risk profile. According to me, these stocks had a bit of a pullback with possibly more on the way.

In what order would you DCA into the stocks mentioned above? Is there any stock that you think should be excluded from this list?

Thanks

Q: Hi, can you please comment on their recent quarters?
Anything to be concerned about with either company going forward?
I have owned both for several years (full positions) but SIS has seen a bit of slow growth (for me) the last year and I'd like to reduce to a 1/2 position. Can you please suggest an alternate stock(s) (any sector) given today's environment that should offer better growth potential.

Cheers,
Steve

Q: Hi team,
I am looking to invest for my kids resp. Currently only hold a balanced fund and Ppl which I bought in the 2020 collapse. Now I am wondering about buying a quality stock which has been unjustifiably (as far as we can tell) sold off in the recent sell off of growth names. I am thinking of Prl. Would you consider it safe enough to invest in a resp account? I also note that its div is decent while I wait for recovery . I have about 4-5 years before I would have to sell it . If you don’t think Prl is a good fit do you have better suggestions ?

Thanks ,
Shane
