Investment Q&A

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

Q: If you had to choose between these two which would you prefer and why? I already have some Canadian media and some U.S. and Canadian financials.
Thanks as always.

Q: Can you comment please on this stock which appears to have solid fundamentals. Other than the normal risks with US municipal corps falling into bankruptcy, are there any other risks or traps such as taxes if owned by non-US accounts etc?

Q: I just returned home from visiting my grandchildren, and my little grandson "con" me into visiting "Gamestop". His real mission was to get version 3 of starwars for video game, and upon leaving I left $70.00 US poorer for the game. Upon returning home I have seen major advertising of all star war games and products by Disney on all major television stations no doubt pushing the Christmas theme.
My question is "would I be too late for the toy game as there appears to be great margins in these products and children really do wish to have latest version of all products"
Could I have your opinion of my thinking, and if you like it what names would you recommend. I was thinking of Hasboro and Mattel.
Just a thought and thanks for your great help.

Q: Dear 5i,

Purchased these stocks prior to the recent correction. Is it time to add, hold or step aside for now? WFC & CSCO are full positions and the others are partial.

Thank you...Keith

Q: Hello folks:
We have quite a bit of cash in our U.S. account and looking for a company or two to expand our U.S. holdings. Currently we hold GE, GILD, BA, CVX, JNJ, PEP, CSX, TSN, JCI, CMI, JPM and BEP.un. I am at a loss as to what would make a good addition... considering Ford. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks for everything

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and all at 5i

I am thinking that HD would provide good exposure to the housing and consumer rebound in the US but we have already missed a 5 bagger on this stock in the last 5 years.

Do you think a 5 year time frame for this company would work for initiating a position now?

Thank you

Q: I mistakenly stumbled on Gartner in the U.S. when looking up the chart for Intertain since they have the same ticker symbol. I was amazed to see Gartner has a sharp straight up chart since 2009 that always bounces off the 200 day moving average, which is where it's currently at. I've never seen Gartner mentioned here or on Stockchase. It's a technology research company that touches every industry and operates in 85 countries. Sounds like my kinda stock. Any comment? Thank you.

Q: I believe that 5i puts more faith in Point and Figure charts than just about any other technical indicator; when the Diamonds - DIA - were at $165 last week the bearish price objective was $151, which was met last Monday. Currently stockcharts.com has a bearish target of $123 which would imply a further downside from here of over 4000 points on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The SPY target is $153, almost as bad in % terms. Any comment on these observations? Also how much use are P&F targets on indexes vs. individual securities? Thanks, J.
