Investment Q&A

Q: Have more than a 100% gain on these two companies, is it time to take some profit?

Q: Seems investors are not impressed by CSU and continue to sell off all these names. I have around a 10% allocation to the family (4% CSU, 4% LMN, 2% TOI). I'm contemplating reducing my positions and adding to MDA, ZDC, CLS, ISRG, TOU. What are your thoughts? I'm concerned because CSU and LMN are one of the larger positions in my portfolio. Thank you!

Q: These stocks are all losing ground lately in my portfolio. Please reply in what order and at what price you would add to them I want to ensure I add valve at this point;

Also should i add to my holding in GDXJ? or start a position a silver stock (please recommend several in order of preference ) same recommendation for US bank ETF....Thanks

Q: All 3 stocks have recently been down and are continuing to drop today (Tuesday). Your blog on the CSU/Leonard call about AI recapped what was said and indicated premiums assigned to these stocks may be lowered. Looks like it's now underway. I was hoping for more thought on what might happen in the future? As many of your customers own these stocks, it would be nice if 5i could issue quick reports on them. Are they still rated high or have they gone down a notch, or two or three? Are they rated buy, hold or sell? Where does 5i see these stocks' prices in 3, 6 and 12 months from now? I realize there are many unknowns and predicting the future is tough, but 5i has done this generally quite well in the past. These 3 stocks appear to widely held and deserve more attention at this time.

Q: Hello, please tell me of the comparable at current price which one that you would choose for total return for a 1-3 year hold and a 3-5 year hold. Also if you could provide a brief reason why would be appreciated.

1 IFC or SLF
2 PRL or GSY
3 CNR or TFII
4 LMN or SHOP
5 CSU or BN or TRI
6 PNG or ZDC
7 KSI or VHI

Thank you

Q: I own the above listed Canadian stocks. Please rate each one as a BUY, HOLD or SELL and let me know your reasons for the rating you have given to it. Thank You.

Q: I own all three of these and am considering consolidating to simplify my portfolio. Would you recommending holding any one vs another or keeping all three.

Q: Which ones (if any) would you buy and hold and forget for 10 years?

Q: Hello Peter,
These two stocks are the dogs in my portfolio and am not sure they will recover in a few years to get my money back. I was thinking of adding to BN, but was wondering if gold would be a better choice. I am just worried as gold is quite high and it could do the same as two i own when the whole world was talking about green energy. Gold could do a reversal .Instead of adding to BN, what would you recommend for gold exposure.. any thoughts please? Also, any comments on why Lumine group continues to slide? Appreciate it

Q: I know both are spinoffs from CSU and involved in “vertical” software. And both have done well.

What is the difference between the 2 companies?
Do they compete against each other in any way?
Which of the 2 should have the better growth prospects?

Thanks.

Q: Yesterday you answered a question regarding three companies you would buy for growth for five years, asked by Judith. You gave the first three and left out your favourite company of all time, CSU. I imagine that is because we are focusing on growth and CSU, being bigger than the others will likely grow less. I tend to be a little leery of lmn and don’t have a high percentage. But, where would it fit, and what would your choices be, if the question was asked in such a way that growth was important but also relative safety? Safety, not in the sense of say, the banks, but something with good prospects for above average growth?

Q: If you had 10K right now - and were not invested at all - and were 5 years away from using the money, where would you invest it for maximum growth?

Q: Hi I currently hold these US companies. Can you please suggest your top 10 US companies that would compliment these the best for a long term hold? In order ideally. A growth rating 1-10 (10 being the best) and a risk rating 1-10(10 being the riskiest)

Thanks so much

Q: These companies who buy other companies are dropping because of an AI scare.
Is it not possible for them to start adjusting and start buying AI companies to keep up with the present trend?

Is that possible?

Thanks

Q: Sold TIXT in tfsa (11 equities) as do not want to hold Telus in this growth leaning account as I already have some in cash account oriented mostly towards dividend paying growth equities. So looking at which of my “better” remaining tfsa holdings to add to for next 18 to 24 months: lmn, tvk,dsg, drx or eqb or do I consider something new like png, vhi or zdc? I am long retired and survive on a DB pension.

Q: Both are getting hit today, particularly TOI. Any idea why? I hear talk of AI affecting them. Is this a factor? If so, how critical is it and how much risk does it introduce? Do you still rate them high?

Q: Good evening 5i
I am just straightening out loose ends and have found the money to buy one stock. From the above what would your order for quality/price be? And why
Thanks for the great service

Q: BUY. or. HOLD. or SELL for a 3 to 5 year period?

Q: I have a total of 27% in technology and wonder if best to decrease this as I do not have consumer staples or consumer cyclical stocks. I am thinking of selling of GIB.A and CLBT. Would you sell these 2 stocks to bring the weight down or best to just trim some off the stocks listed. This is for a RRSP and I am more growth oriented.

Q: Hi, after holding CVE for awhile and being under water, I'm finally nearly breaking even. After the new MEG deal, I wonder what people might think about selling it to get into other 'growthier' stocks long-term (like SHOP, LMN, PRL, for example, but open to other ideas as well).
Thank you!
