Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Could you please provide your top 5 US healthcare stock picks for growth (with above-average risk) over the next 5 years, and include a brief comment why.

Could you also suggest 3 "safer" options.

Feel free to subtract as many credits as warranted.

Many thanks!

Q: Looking for a decent investment in this inflation environment. This REIT hit my radar. I think you at 5i approve of it. My concern is the very high PE (approx. 30) and P/Cash Flow. Not sure what the forward PE is, but I'm hearing that forward earning estimates in general will sooner or later be ratcheted down anyway as higher rates start negatively affecting the economy.

Is there a better metric putting a valuation on a REIT like LSI?

Q: I regularly read the Q and A section. Several questions mention being down 50% or more on an investment. I too have had similar losses in the past on a couple of stocks. Aren't these losses a result of inadequate risk management? In order to avoid such big losses, can you suggest a selling strategy or point readers to a discussion of selling strategies?

In the past I have employed a stop-loss but isn't that akin to showing the market your hand? In other words, as soon as you enter a stop-loss price doesn't that price then become another data point for algorithms to hunt down?

Any advice/information you can offer regarding selling strategies to minimize losses would be appreciated. No rush to get this answered. Thank you as always for your expertise.

Q: Good morning.

I don’t know much about REITS and there are a lot of choices. Looking out 5-10 years, what do you feel are the best areas to focus on and what would be 2 or 3 Canadian REITS you like best and which one would you choose for a long term hold and why?

If there is a US REIT you like or even prefer, please include.

Also, If there is a primer you could suggest or a previous blog post please link.

Thanks, M

Q: I own shares in these 3 companies and am thinking of adding to one or all of them. Weightings are all still relatively modest. What do think of these stocks, is this a good time to add, and would you suggest adding to one, two or all. If not all, in which one or two would you prefer? With thanks, Don
