Investment Q&A

Q: First, as a new investor, I have learned much from subscribing to your service. It is well worth the subscription fee. I appreciate you guys keeping the answers and advice simple and to the point. Keep it up!

I bought into NFI at a worst possible time as I'm down 17% as of today. I've stuck with them based on research here and elsewhere. Given that, I'm debating using another portfolio to obtain a position in NFI to help recoup losses as now may be a good time to invest. The same thing happened to me with RHT where I had a large loss but I later obtained a position of RHT in another portfolio and so far have a gain where I could really benefit from future growth. However, looking back at previous Balanced Growth portfolios, allocation for NFI is decreasing. Is this due to decreasing confidence with a possible end objective of ditching NFI? Monthly allocation for RHT has been relatively stable so I was more comfortable with my above plan.

Thanks

Q: I have a well diversified portfolio using a passive index strategy. I have the above stocks in my TFSA to boost the total portfolio return. Thanks to 5i that has worked well. My current TFSA holdings are listed and I am up at least 15% on the first 5 stocks listed and plus / minus 5% on the last 5 stocks listed. I am in my early 70's and feel I don't want to spend as much time on the TFSA investments. Can you give me up to 10 buy and forget growth names for the TFSA and if some of the listed stocks are included in your list then so much the better. Thanks

Q: Where do you see the most short term upside from the following: SIS, TOY or NFI?

Q: I have a question about NFI. NFI continues to lose ground. Any idea of a bottom?

Q: Regarding NFI, in your view how much of a concern does high US and Canadian federal/state/province/municipal government debt represent, in terms of governments' future ability/inability to replace/upgrade buses at a prudent pace?
Thank you.

Q: I have 4% position in NFI in my RRSP. The value has dimished by more than 15% since I added it to my portfolio and continue to decline almost everyday due to NAFTA related issue, I suppose. Would you suggest divesting at this juncture? Or should I buy and average it. Thanks for the advice

Q: Recently NFI has shown weakness well beyond the norm. Has there been any news that might indicate the apparent flurry of selling? I am aware that some folks look to transport stock movements as a precursor of a potential weakening economy (the old saw about financial markets being a leading economic indicator). Thanks for all the help that you and fellow members provide me with. Bill

Q: good day i was thinking of purchasing NFI with the weak price performance What are your thoughts , i realize the tariff talk at the border may not be helping .Thank you so much

Q: Have NFI, DOL, and CIX.

Not too impressed with DOL, looking to sell.

Want to add a good growth stock. Loblaws and BCE look appealing. BCE appears on multiple picklists, and seems sector-leading . And Loblaws shows strong fundamentals and consistently growing profits.

Your views on these or other better options please.

Q: What is your assessment of NFI ??
Would they avoid any Nafta restrictions with their American factories etc??

Q: hi Peter can you recommend 3 Canadian companies that offer long term capital appreciation have reasonable debt levels and derive better than 50 percent revenues from US operations thanks Richard

Q: Hi there,

If one were buying NFI and TSGI today - would you add equal weight into both positions, or would you be adding a larger position to TSGI over NFI? In other words, if the combined weighting was 7% between the 2 names, would you do 3.5 in each, 4/3, etc? My investing goal would be to achieve higher growth but still maintain diversification between the two holdings.

Thanks!

Q: Hi folks. New Flyer is a position I took last November and as a result I am down significantly. That said, I have been reading your responses to questions asked in which you stated in part; "we would not view NFI as an outright sell at this time. " This statement could indicate that it maybe a sell and you are not sure yet? Also I am wondering if the course issuer bid NFI announced on 11 June maybe in response to or in anticipation of, a further decline in the stock price?
Thanks All

Q: Hi 5i, my portfolio is marching along nicely thanks to your advice. I am questioning holding onto NFI. I am on par and have owned it for about 8 months. Because of exposure to tariffs, I'm wondering if it will stagnate and if a switch to PBH, one of your stock recommendations that I do not yet hold, might have more growth possibility in the coming year(s). Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

Q: I understand that there is some concern about NFI in the light of the NAFTA dialogue. I would also like to know if there has been transactions involving insiders in, say, the last three months. Thanks for the great service.

Q: Peter and Team:

I am a long term investor and understand your thoughts on market timing and political influences.
Having said that, which companies in your balanced portfolio stand the most to loose if we get into a protracted trade dispute with Donald and his gang.

Thanks

Phil

I am currently over weight on energy 17% (VET, ENB, ZCL,EFX,PKI,VII) and underweight on industry 4% (on has NFI), if I want to trim it, which stock would you recommend to sale in energy and add in industry? Thanks!

Q: Please rate the above companies in order of preference.
Thanks.
Desiree

Q: Hi,
