Investment Q&A

Q: Good morning - can you give us a sense as to what Cdn companies (say 10) that would be most adversely affected by a tariff war with the US? Many thanks as always.

Q: If you could only buy 5 stocks today in North America what are they and why?

Q: I am underwater significantly (-20 %to 30%) on the above 5 companies. I have a well balanced portfolio so am looking to either sell the above and replace them or add to them. Can you please give me your thoughts on which ones you would ditch and which ones (if any) you would add to. If you have any suggestions as replacements for any that you consider should be sold I would appreciate it. Thanks for your ongoing great insights. Peter

Q: Hammond Power has been drifting lower everyday and It looks like that the stock could soon break below, $98 support level, with US Tariffs confirmed making company's products exported to US, more expensive, increasing the risk of losing market share to its US based or competitors.

Is it prudent to be proactive and sell all holdings ( as of now we have about $15 gains ) or reduce by at least 50%, to avoid such scenario and revisit later, when there is more clarity/visibility ?

The proceeds may be held in cash, or could be used for 5i favorites like Terravest, Propel or Kneat.com, companies with strong momentum and none to minimal tariff issues. ( I am aware that these business are in a different sector altogether ). Thoughts ?

Thank You

Q: Hi 5i Research team,
Which among your favorite Canadian companies are down significantly this Monday morning, but are unaffected directly and indirectly by the tarifs and conter-tarifs?
Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: Hi,
Currently holding 2.46% position in HPS.A. With its larger revenue exposure to Canada and Mexico and impact of potential tariffs, does it make sense to diversify/trim and move some funds into POWL or PWR and which would you choose between the two currently? Thanks!

Q: Hi Folks,
May I have your thoughts on BEPC and BIPC. I am thinking of selling my shares in BEPC (breaking even) and buying BIPC which seems to be doing better. This would be in my TFSA.
Thanks

Q: Is this a good buying opportunity?

Q: I have money to invest and I own none of these stocks. Could you list them in order that you would buy them today.
Thanks for you help.

Q: Hello 5i team,
The stock price has fallen a bit below my entry price and I wanted to add to it. Would you still be comfortable adding at this level. The tariff craze is not spooking the markets as much as implied and was wondering how much product PBH sells to the US(or if they have operations there)?

I am holding for the long term (purchased in Dec 2022).

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: For the two situations below, if you were to buy only one of these two stocks at today’s prices, which would it be?

Q: Can you explain what is behind the broad move higher in Gold and silver miners? Is it just the price of precious metals? How broad is this move and what, if any, other material sectors are also moving? Thank-you.

Q: Hello 5i,
With an eye to reduce some holdings how much overlap is there between these three?
After the recent "dip" how would you rank them?
Thank you so much
Dave

Q: Hi 5I.

Contemplating giving up on ATS (only stock I own in the red today, as usual) and using proceeds to add to TFII. Will this move put me in a position to recover losses on ATS over the next 2 years versus just holding onto ATS.?

Carl

Q: If you owned shares in these companies,what would you do?If selling Silvercrest,what would you recommend as a replacement within the precious metals sector?Thanks.

Q: What are the prospects for BBUC. I am currently underwater! Thank you

Q: Hello, I am wondering about Toromont Industries. Do you see it being negatively effected if there are tariffs implemented by the US? I will be retiring in next 2 years looking for something safe with decent growing yield that can be a hold over the next several years in a non-registered account.
Thanks
