Q: My Consumer Descretionary % is a bit low.

1. I'm a little gun shy buying this sector right now due to economy slowing in the face of higher interest rates. It seems the consumer may be struggling here for awhile. Would you bump up a low sector waiting right now or just wait 6-12 months?

2. How would you currently rank the following watchlist for capital appreciation over the next year+? Are there some you would not really consider Consumer Descretionary - seems to be quite a range of business.


SHOP, QSR, ATZ, DOO, TSLA, MG, AMZN, ULTA, CELH, BKNG, GLBE, CROX.

Q: What do you think of the latest quarterly earnings for Martinrea ?
I used your Interactive Chart feature to compare the % share price increase over time of Martinrea and Magna - for 10 to 20 years Magna is the clear winner , but Martinrea is far better over the last 3 years . Do you think this better performance will continue over the next 2-3 years , or is a switch to Magna appropriate ?

Q: Dear amazing 5i employee,

I trust that you are well!

An analyst at 5i noted (in answer to one of questions) that there are dozens of trading opportunities available in the market right now. Would you be able to list some of those opportunities? By trading opportunities I mean simple trades (buy low, sell high).



Yours kindly,
David

Q: Hello 5i Team,

I have sold MG at the top, is it a buy at this level? the stock momentum is good, car sales are on the upward momentum in the US.

You have B+ rating on MAL, do you still feel positive after the last Q?

Would you add to an existing TIXT (loss position at this point) at this level representing now only 1% of my portfolio (given your B+ rating for the company)?

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: Is it too late to get into Ford after its price appreciation? I’m considering switching from Magna to Ford. Do you have a preference. We also hold Granite REIT which does get much if it’s revenue from Magna properties, so wondering if holding Ford instead would improve diversification. Thanks lots!

Q: Hello 5i, I am thinking of buying Granite Real State Investment Trust. Before I do so I would like your opinion on the company's debt compared to other major Canadian REITs? I am somewhat concerned about the following excerpt from the company profile "Granite derives nearly all of its revenue in the form of rental income from its properties. The company's largest tenant is Magna International, an automotive parts and systems manufacturer, which accounts for the majority of Granite's lease income." This is as if most of their income depends on Magna only, is that a concern to you? Thank you
