Investment Q&A

Q: I'm looking to invest $60,000 for a minimum of 5 years. This money will be used towards a downpayment for a house. Can you please comment on a split of 50% SPY and 50% quality stocks, such as GOOG, MSFT, SLF, ATD, BN. Also can you please suggest some additional stock ideas that are fairly conservative for a 5 year hold. Thanks!

Q: What would consider as a good entry point for each of these and also a price target please.
Thank you

Q: For new TFSA money this year what are your top 6-7 picks within your balanced portfolio as of today?

Q: As a dividend growth investor I'm looking for one more (non-financial) growth company to add to my group that already includes ATD and CNR. I've done a side-by-side comparison of the following three outlining concerns for each:

FSV - Reasonable debt levels. In a recession, perhaps the strongest of the three (?), but always expensive.

SJ - Arguably a bit of a moat, reasonable debt. But by already owning CNR, does it make sense to own a company whose business includes railway ties?

DOO - Great growth, nice dividend growth, and very attractive moat. But what about that debt ?...and in a recession who is going to buy those "toys" ?

Not looking for personal advice, but I would welcome any comments on the concerns I've mentioned. Thanks.

Q: your thoughts please on the investor day?

Thx

Q: I like both, but only have sufficient funds to add one of the listed stocks in my TFSA. Which of the two does 5i feel has the higher growth potential over the next few years?
Thank you. Edward

Q: Hi team,

Which Canadian and U.S. stocks do you see as presently having positive momentum leading to strong growth in a near future ?

Have a good day,

Jacques IDS

Q: Gentlemen;

What 5 core stocks, Canadian or US, would you want to add to today?

Q: Your latest market update talks about fundamentally sound companies with good long term histories. What companies from your portfolio most look like this?

Thx

Q: Everyone,
If you could only own shares in three Canadian companies what names do you suggest? My thoughts are CSU, BAM and a big Canadian bank. Clayton

Q: Hi - if inflation stays persistent and rates remain firm or a bit higher, what sectors would you favour? Has the market already identified this and they are they already outperforming? If not, what names would you recommend for purchase at their current prices?
As always, thank you for your insight.

Q: Could you rank in order which you think will have the greatest growth over the next 3-5 years?
Thanks
Jeff

Q: Thoughts on the 1/4 and guidance ? Thank you.

Q: Hi Folks,
In my TFSA I can only top up ATD or VISA to a full position at this time. Both are up considerably, all things being equal, may I have your opinion as to which one would be best topped up today.
Thanks,

Q: What does the market expect from ATD next week?

Thx

Q: Is having a nice year. How cheap or expensive is it compared to historical #s

Thx

Q: Hi,

I've sold my house and moved overseas; I will return in about 3-4 years and may need to buy a new home at that time.

I have about $700K I'd like to invest while I'm overseas.

Can you suggest some dividend stocks to hold while I'm overseas, that I'd be able to liquidate to sell to buy a new home when I return in 3-4 years?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: What would your top handful of stocks be in a TFSA with a 5-10 year time horizon.
Assuming nobody likes capital losses, especially in a TSFA.
Thank You

Q: Can you please recommend a few companies for a TFSA that have good growth potential with limited downside risk.
Thanks
John

Q: As i get older i am always thinking about reducing risk in a reasonable way. I have about 2 per cent of my portfolio in pbh. I know it is a smaller company and i have been thinking about taking a cap gain hit to transfer to atd. I was wondering how you would compare these two, rather than by size alone
Thanks as always
