Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi. I'm currently over weight in Consumer Defensives (BYD, PBH & PRWM) and under weight in Industrials (WSP, TFII, STN & SIS).
I'm thinking of selling PRMW and buying EIF. Based on future prospects do you think this trade makes sense. I intend to hold for a few years. Thanks!

Q: Industrials 12% target allocation - what allocation do you advise? I have Full positions in WSP VRT and Partial Positions in ATS TFII HEI and AXON. Based on your advice, I would also like to have positions in URI HON TRI TIH HPS.A. Need to sort out what to own as Full and partial positions. Please rank for full and partial positions with entry prices for those not owned and what to drop from this list. I have a bias for serial acquierers along the lines of CSU.

Q: My wife took early retirement with DB plan. Her RRSP and TFSA are well diversified. She has enough money to invest in about 10 companies. This money is not needed in foreseeable future. However, a small dividend is appreciated along with capital appreciation. It will be invested in a regular account. Can you please suggest top 12 companies.

Thanks inadvance

Q: I have cash in my TFSA and am thinking the above stocks will experience tax loss selling pressure and I can add to my existing positions at attractive prices for long term holds.
Do you agree that these stocks will be subject to tax loss pressure and is now a good time to buy, wait a bit, or average in each week for the next month or so.
Thanks

Q: I have .85 and .79 % holdings respectively in the above 2 companies. The dividend yields are paltry so I'm thinking of consolidating them . Which of the two do you see with better growth potential or could you recommend 3 or 4 others with better growth opportunities irrespective of sector allocation with a dividend and without a dividend. I already hold CSU, LMN, TOI, TFII, GLXY, HPS.A
Thank -you
Jeff

Q: Follow up to question and response about providing reports at least every 12 months on companies that are in your portfolios. TFII was last formally reported upon back in April 2022. You responded it was 'flash' reported in February 2023. When I search reports for TFII, all that comes up is April 2022. Where is the flash report hiding? It should appear when a search is done. I'm sure customers would appreciate having all reports in one area.

Q: RBC lowered target price to 153. Anything to be concerned about? I looked up report section and last time TFII was formally reported upon was April 2022. Can you explain why 5i feels TFII is a top pick? What are the main strengths and weaknesses going forward? What price do you see down the road and why?
A suggestion: company reports should be updated every 12 months. In TFII's case, it's 17 months and counting. I realize there are lots of questions about TFII but a report formally brings it all together. I'm sure your customers would appreciate this.
