Q: I'm finding it difficult finding American companies with the ability to grow their profits over the near future. (lots of noise out there - inflation, war, debt etc.). I would appreciate your opinion regarding the ability of Builders to award investors with above average returns over the next few years. Also, if you have better ideas in this sector I would invite your suggestions. Thank-you for your continued support of the little guy.

I would appreciate your thoughts on TFII vs ODFL?
If you like these which one would you prefer for a long term hold?
Can you please provide your high level reasons?
Can you please give a good valuation buy price?

Q: Hello 5i Research Team,

David Berman's recent article in the Globe suggested that now may be a good time to buy beaten down stocks in the US home building industry (i.e. builders and suppliers). Would you agree? Either way, could you please rank the listed stocks for a 5-year hold for an investor with an above-average level of risk, and add any better names I've missed.

Thanks!

Q: I need to lighten up on techy/growth stocks and replace with more defensive/value names. Of this list, are there any you would sell? If not, and if I wanted to sell something anyway, in what order would you suggest selling? Thank you.

Q: Good morning,

Truly enjoy reading your reports and answers to queries asked by members!

In your response to Chris, on April 8th, you outline a starting strategy for a young 16 year old investor.

You state: "we might start out with a broad market ETF that pays a dividend"

Would you be comfortable listing a few broad market ETF that fit this criteria taking into account a 10 year lock up of the funds?

Perhaps suggesting a few for high, moderate and low risk tiers.

Have a great weekend!
