Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
Ready to dump Gilead (have PZE and JNJ) and put some $ into medical devices.
Please compare the merits of MDT vs STY and choose one with reason for doing so.
From stats I can see MDT is much more expensive and has a better chart to be sure.....all good if it earns and draws down the multiple I guess.
Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: What companies will benefit the most with the role out of 5G. I own both T & BCE for over 10 years: will they benefit in terms of increased activity - data and cloud computing?

Q: Hi Team, Your general thoughts on Texas Instruments after earnings please. I do own some as I think their technology will benefit from driver less vehicles and I do like the dividend. How is the growth profile? In my RRSP, is it a keeper ?Thank-you in advance. Sam

Q: Good morning,
I currently hold BABA.US in my RRSP and was considering a switch to AMZN.US. In an effort to further reduce risk while maintaining a tech component in my overall diversified portfolio, I'm now looking at selling my current BABA.US holdings and buying either QQQ.US or XLK.US which both hold some AMZN.US.
What are your thoughts on this potential move and of the two ETFs mentioned, which would you recommend and why?
I thank you and look forward to your response.

Q: I took a position in Ituran Location and Control. I wanted to cross check if I was missing anything here. The company trades at a P/E ratio of 15.8. Based in Israel with sales mainly in Israel, And South America. 80% market share, 3.7% yield. Subscriber growth grew nicely in 2019. Missed three of the last 4 earnings and net income dropped over prior year, but operating cash flow has increased over the prior year. I think this drop in net income explains the share price drop. Insider ownership is high. Roe is good. Iturun owns 46% of a company called BRINGG a logistics platform for businesses with customers that include Walmart, McDonald’s and DoorDash which could be a hidden catalyst. I think I have a winner here... Considering the low valuation, what risks could I be missing?

Q: Could you please compare these two. Which one would you buy today?

Thanks,
Milan

Q: Any idea why Bank of America and JP Morgan are dropping the last several days even after they both reported stellar results - should I be taking my profit out now or hold ?

Q: hi there,

looking for an undervalued US financial to add to my portfolio. I own JPM, WF and PRU. Looking at the financials, this one seems to be growing but trading at a significant discount to its peers. Am i missing something or is there another US insurer you prefer?

Q: This company has one well known Rating Agency at "Strong Buy" and another at "Strong Sell". My December 2019 opening position is down 8%. The wide spread in ratings has me intimidated but still inclined to buy it on the way down.
Can you see something other than Boeing, that could be holding this stock back ?

Q: Would appreciate your analysis and thoughts on Seaspan. Had doubled up and was thinking of selling and putting funds into 2 more US equities. Looking more for growth and capital appreciation but fine with a dividend if possible.
Which 2 would you suggest in any sector and do you think Seaspan's recent news is the reason for the 14% drop in the last month.
Thanks Gary

Q: I hold units of ITA and was thinking of switching these to RTN. However BOE represents 19.88% of ITA and its troubles have already affected ITA's price. Given that, would it be better to simply stay with ITA?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Beginning of the year, time for portfolio maintenance/tuning operations, my doubts/focus is on these 3 US titles : BIG, CTSH, CHRW.

Would like to know your call (HOLD/SELL) and brief appreciation on these. In SELL cases (if any), could you please provide US market replacement suggestion other than (already owned) : GOOG, SBUX, V, BRK-B, DG, CPRT, KMX.

My portfolio is in registered account, holding period would be 5-10 years, aiming for quality company with good mid-long term growth potential.
