Investment Q&A

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

Q: I realize the US is not your area of focus, but for a sizeable company that services a wide swath of mid-sized US companies, the type that could possibly be seen as benefiting from a made-in-America increase in the GDP rate, would paychex be a good investment in that? It's off a bit in the last few days after having done quite well, taking more pressure than the market today (-2+%) and pays a nice divi of 3%. Is it investable for the long-term?

Q: I know 5i's focus is not the US but wondered if you have an opinion on these two companies. Norm Rothery uses a modified Graham approach to identify potential deep value stocks & had identified only these two for 2017. I would also be interested in your opinion on the Dogs of the Dow & equivalent high yield approach for the Canadian market. Thanks for the great service!

Q: I have 4% of my portfolio in Mastercard. After reporting, RBC has lowered it's target price but still holds it as a Top Pick. My other financial holding is SLF (2.5%). Based on current 3-5 year forecasts is it worth continuing to hold Mastercard or another US or Canadian financial with more torque? I'm 34 and hold the stock in my RRSP.

Q: Hi there. I'm overweight in Apple stock (approx. 13%). With yesterdays earnings season causing surge in stock up today should I trim some off. There is still the matter of repatriation and 10 year IPhone 8 season that I don't want to miss out on potentially. Based on my watch list (of which I'm equal weight in all my other equities) is there a sector I should maybe add too that I'm not currently representing?? I would like to add to my Canadian portfolio. Could you recommend 3 stocks to add? Thx

Q: I have been trying to find companies that would benefit from the self driving car. Be it the detection systems/software systems that would have to be installed. Do you have any that you would recommend or not recommend or just your overall opinion in this area of the market?
Thank you.

Q: Good afternoon.
I've been doing a little research on the growth of artificial intelligence in Canada and I would appreciate any insight/ recommendations you may have for investment knowing that there could be a high level of risk involved. This would probably be for a TFSA account with a 1-5 year frame. Might there be an IPO(s)on the horizon worth investigating?
Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

I know you generally don't research U.S. companies but I thought I would ask your opinion on Nike. I bought a small position last year for $59 and change. I have watched it continue to go down and really not be able to get above $54. Would you advise I just sell and cut my losses or should I wait things out?

I really appreciate your opinion. Thanks.
