Investment Q&A

Q: Morning 5i Team,
I have held TRI since early 2020 and have since almost doubled my investment. I am thinking of taking some profits on TRI and invest the proceeds on something else. Would you agree with this move? And can you suggest a stock(s) to put the proceeds in regardless of sectors.
Thanks,
H

Q: I've asked some recent questions and read the reports on these three companies. Different sectors, different debt levels, different valuations, different risk factors but all good companies with pathways to higher earnings and growth. If you only had room for one, which one are you most constructive/have highest conviction on today as a long term hold? Thank you.

Q: I hold the listed equities/ ETF in my 14 year old grandson's RESP account. Given thee current environment what changes would you make in preparation for the next 4 years? I consider HFR is cash available.

Woule you consider adding some US listings for diversification? Given some current thinking regarding the US dollar would it be wiser to add Cdn listed ETFs of US companies? . What would be the tax implications of adding US listed companies that do not pay a dividend? Any paperwork?

Thanks very much. Take whatever credits are needed.

are there any stocks in the account that you would replace?,

Mike

Q: How much higher will it go.
Shall I buy more shares
Thanks

Q: For a retired conservative investor:

1. Please rank DOO, ATD, & BYD for safety first and total return second.

2. Please rank PBH & DOL for safety first and total return second.

Thank you

Q: Over the last 30 years my best investments by far have been with smallish to medium sized profitable businesses with good long term growth prospects that I have bought and held for 10+ years. Generally market caps of roughly $500 million Cdn. to around $5 billion Cdn. A few have generated 20, 30 times my initial cost. I am wondering about the prospects of each of these following companies producing those kind of multi-bagger returns over the next 10 or 20 years. Would you please rank these companies in order from 1 to 13 according to the likelihood that they will become another CSU, BYD, WSP, TFII, etc. that can be a big, big winner for a long term investor: ATS, ATZ, DOO, EQB, GSY, HPS.A, KXS, LMN, NVEI, TIXT, TOI, TSU, WELL. Admittedly, TOI is a little big at $8 billion market cap.

Secondly, are there any other Cdn stocks in this size range that you would say have that kind of big upside potential, and where would you place them in comparison to the above listed companies.

Q: Hey 5i: Currently down 21% with Magna in my Tfsa. Considering that the loss cannot be used for tax purposes can you advise on any names with better prospects to recoup my capital with no concern for sector? Or would you suggest a hold.Thanks Larry

Q: Good afternoon - I’m overweight in big tech in my TFSA and am planning to do some rebalancing. I’m looking for some non-tech suggestions please. Either US or Canada are fine.

Thanks!
Janet

Q: I'm heavily weighted, the Qs / semis, can you name some alternatives to balance my portfolio please?

Q: Hello, with the current inflation scene, economy and interest rates, expectations of a pause by Federal Reserve and possibility of a soft landing, what sectors will be your favorites to invest/overweight today with a 5-10 years horizon ? And, in these sectors, what will be your best 3 picks, based on current valuation and future growth, in order, with suggested price levels to buy/add ?

Thank You

Q: I currently have a portfolio with these six holdings. What would be your current top 5-10 Cdn and/or US buys to diversify the portfolio and put a large cash balance to work for a 5-10 year time horizon with total return as the primary objective

Q: Hi

I'm confused. I have chosen two of several alerts I received on DOO.

TD: Analyst Brian Morrison lowered his price target on shares of the Canadian recreational vehicle manufacturer to $100 from $135 following its Q1 results for fiscal 2024 on Thursday. "It is our view that management is excelling at items within its control in a challenging environment, but that macroeconomic headwinds may linger and potentially intensify, thereby clouding earnings visibility," Morrison said in a note to clients.

National Bank is maintianing its Outperform rating and $143 price target. "We concede that BRP shares could remain in check due to ongoing economic uncertainty, but we believe that BRP will continue to gain market share in the coming years as it aggressively invests in new products."

Hold or Sell?

Carl

Q: If one was willing to accept the smaller cap size risk and the much lower yield, could you endorse a switch from MG to DOO to stay (technically at least) in the same sector in the hopes of realizing a higher total return in the long run (5-10 years)? When I look at the history, Magna is about where it was 7 or 8 years ago, and DOO is up about 4 fold. I realize the past doesn’t predict the future, but still…..

Q: Gentlemen

BRP reported earning today, can I have your opinion on the report?

Q: Which stocks are cheap and buyable Can be trade or long term hold.

Q: Looking for some companies that offer the opportunity for short term trading (decent sized price swings) but have the fallback of being a solid long term holding (income, long term growth potential)...should I find myself in a loss position for a while

Q: Someone recently asked for a recommendation for some Consumer discretionary investments. You provided a couple of names, but not DOO. Has the shine come off for you? In any event, what is your current view? Buy, sell, or hold? And why?

Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi All at 5i!!
I know it is comparing apples to oranges, but which of these two has a greater chance of solid short term growth ?
Cheers,
Tamara

Q: I hold the following companies in my consumer cyclical and defensive part of portfolio.

Cyclical:

AirBnb
Aritzia
DOO
MED
SBUX

Defensive:
COST


I’m thinking of selling MED and adding to the balance of my cyclical positions. What are your thoughts on this portfolio of companies and which ones look most attractive today to add to?

For defensive, I only hold Costco. What companies would you suggest I look to diversify my defensive portfolio?

Thanks
Greg

Q: Of the consumer cyclicals held are there any you would sell? Any you would add to? And, do you have other Canadian or US names you would suggest looking into at this time?

5+ years timeframe, high risk, growth-focused in a TFSA.

MG (-30%)
LNF (-22%)

Thank you!
