Investment Q&A

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

Q: My primary investment objective is to find companies with growth potential with a secondary goal for some dividend income. I bought Innergex renewable (INE) a year ago at 14.80. This year it has been flat around 14.50. I am considering selling it and reinvesting the proceeds into Gilead (GILD). With GILD there is also the potential of some currency appreciation. Please let me have your thoughts. Is there another Company you would prefer to Gilead??

Q: Without regard for sector diversification and/or weight - If I needed to raise some cash in my portfolio, and wanted to sell some of my losers...which of these names would you sell in order of priority. Could you kindly provide rationale for why you might sell vs. hold. Thanks

Q: Isn't the fall in SP an over reaction?? Home Depot has been successfully fending off Amazon with successful online retail of its own for several years in many of its business lines already (hand and power tools etc). Not to mention people don't like buying a lot of their goods online and prefer to buy or pick up in person. I just don't see why there's such a big reaction. I own HD shares and am now a bit under water. I don't typically like holding on to losers very long. What would be an appropriate stop loss level for this stock and/or what are your thoughts on the stock moving forward. Thanks

Q: Good afternoon,

A positive piece in Barron's postulated that this stock may have significant upside. What do you think of whirlpool? Do you see significant growth? Also, would you be a buyer at these levels ? Or do you see better opportunities in industrials, and oh so, can you make a few suggestions.

Thank you

Karim

Q: Hi 5i Team

I'm aiming to increase exposure to US growth in the tech and industrial sectors (preferably with some dividend ) I am open to moderate risk and tend to hold positions for years.

Could you suggest 3 names in each to look into?

Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i,
I am looking to increase my U.S. and International exposure. I currently hold VIG-N, JNJ-N and a number of Canadian ETF's which also hold U.S. equities. I am open to either USD or hedged products and would like a yield in excess of 2.25% if practical. Since I look to yield for income I was considering ZWA. Would you have any other options you would prefer over ZWA?
On the Int'l. side I hold CYH and ZDI and am happy with both; I held VEE at one time, but the yield is on the lower side for my needs. Should I just increase my holdings in these two or, again, do you see a better option? I could move out of one or both of those if you think there is a more compelling option I'm missing.
As always .... thanks so much for all of your help - very much appreciated!!!
Have a great summer!!
Cheers,
Mike
