Investment Q&A

Q: What are the best Canadian and US value stocks to buy currently?
Thanks

Q: What's up TDOC? Sliding despite a significant improvement in earnings etc. The ratios are still overly optimistic?? Appreciate your comments.

Q: Just curious on the movement on NVDA in the last few days, any news, comments?

Q: As i view it all these cyber stocks are expensive and will remain so into the future. But i feel that they are as important as AT in the future. When you answered Geoffrey question you said that PANW had structural issues, would you please tell me what they are?
Thanks Again

Q: A few software companies do 'Process Mining', do you see substantial future growth in this process and can highlight successful other players than the ones I outlined above?

Q: Hello, I recently sold my rental property in 2022, and I now have funds sitting in the bank, earning interest. My ultimate goal is to invest this money wisely and create a portfolio that can serve as an inheritance for my loved ones. I am currently in the process of assembling a collection of high-quality stocks.

For me, the presence or absence of dividends is not a decisive factor when selecting stocks. Could you kindly recommend two top-performing stocks in each sector of the global market? These core holdings will play a crucial role in achieving my long-term financial objectives.

As of now, I have already purchased shares in NVIDIA (NVDA), Meta, Intuitive Surgical (ISRG), Alphabet (GOOGL), Canada: Goeasy (GSY), Nuvei (NVEI), Definity Finacial (DFY), Boyd Group(BYD), Thomson Reuters (TRI), Aritzia (ATZ), and Nutrien (NTR).

Thank you in advance for your valuable insights.

Q: Good Morning
These stocks are in my wife's US Riff account
What US stock or stocks would you recommend as an addition to this list?
She is overweight in both finance and tech in her Canadian Riff so looking for alternative suggestions with some growth and a modest dividend?
Thks

Q: Good morning - I need more US exposure as I am overweight Canada. I will need to sell some/all of holdings I have in PBH, L, ATS, TOU, SU and EIF. I hate to sell any of these companies but someone's gotta go to raise cash. Taxes are not an issue. Can you suggest US companies that you would like just as much, which pay dividends and which will keep me in the realms of Industrial, Consumer Discretionary, Energy. Thank you.

Q: You replied to my recent question about cdn companies paying us dividends, I would like same 5i stock screener in us companies. Your criteria was us dividends, top 25 with the largest market capitalization, 12 month trailing dividend yield, 5 yr historical dividend growth rate and anything else you may add, basically buy and forget.

Q: How would you rank these four in terms of 1) current valuation 2) safety of invested funds (kind of related to current valuation I guess) 3) anticipated investment return over the next couple of years and overall quality of investment - ie. if you were to select only 1 or 2, in what order would you invest considering the overall quality/valuation of these companies? Thanks.

Q: I think GSY operates only in Canada but apparently has peers in the U.S. Can you compare them in terms of multiples and general outlook.

Q: hi folks:

would you agree that panw and crwd are the 2 'best' (of the better) c-security firms?

if so, and given the market hit panw is taking, would you consider it a worthwhile upgrade (high grade) to transfer FTNT or even from hack/cybr (realizing an etf should be less volatile) to one of the above 2?


thanks in advance

Q: Hi Peter and 5iresearch team
I don't have any exposure to materials. I have XBM and LIT on my list.
1. Is now a good time to start investing in materials?
2. Would you consider other ETFs/stocks (US or CAD) that must be held as a first step investing in materials?
Thank you

Q: Based on quarterly results the Premarket movement downward seems excessive. If you wanted cybersecurity exposure and you only had a position in CRWD would you add to CRWD or start a position in PANW?

Q: I own 3 of the big 7, Apple, Amazon and Nvda and manage the positions for weighting. I would like to own Microsoft and/or Google. Please suggest if you think it's necessary to expand to one or both of these, and if better to have a half position in both, or full position in one or both considering the other holdings. Thanks!

Q: Vrt announced results, looked strong to me but shares off 10% in premarket. Pls comment on results and reasons for market reaction. Is this an opportunity to get into Vrt at better price, or has bloom come off this rose?

Q: Your thoughts on the earnings report last week for ABNB please. Thank you.

Q: Please help me pair one of the noted consumer discretionary stocks with ATD. I am looking for growth at a reasonable valuation with consistent returns for a 5 year hold. Could you rank the 4 stocks in accordance with my selection criteria. Thank you

Q: Some analysts I follow believe industrials will move as counties turn away from globalization . Reading through your previous answers you seemed to like ph and itw. I am looking for companies that already are positioned well and growing their earnings. Is there any other companies that could do well under this scenario ?

Q: I have a partial position in BN and no position in KKR. Noticed huge run-up in KKR over past year, and good prospects for KKR this year. If you had new funds to invest in one of them, what is your advice.
Thanks
