Investment Q&A

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

Q: In your reply to Shane you said "we think an investor who chooses the right stocks, and can do nothing for three years, is going to see some very hefty returns when this thing turns"; please elaborate and give me a few names. Thanks.

Q: I was under the impression that GSY was very impacted by rate hikes. Can you tell me why that is though, I didn't think they had that much debt that would carry higher rates. Or does it somehow impact their clients, which impacts them? If they are charging high interest rates already to their clients, what changes if interest rates are raised? Thx for the help.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

My TFSA is made up of CSU (33%), TRI (22), VGT (17), DSG (14), GSY (14).
CSU is the core position (thank you for that recommendation) and will not be added to at this time.

With current available cash and the upcoming 2023 contribution which 2 companies out of TRI, VGT, GSY and DSG would you add to for the best growth scenario?

Thanks for all your sage advise over the years. My first 6 years of retirement have been financially successful and the dividend and share growth has been stellar. Again a big thank you to 5i!

Q: GSY's YTD results are disappointing and in spite of the many positive touts (including 5i), I am losing patience in the almost 39% drop so far.

I've been interested in DOL for some time, would you recommend a swap of GSY to DOL at their current prices today? Or should I wait for the GSY report due on 11/10 before I do anything? Please advise.

Q: I retired last year and then setup a consulting company which keeps me busy less than half time. My accountant advised that setup an investment portfolio within the business banking account. I am looking at one CND bank ETF (25%), One dividend ETF (40%), and one growth ETF. (25%) I would like to add one or two CDN or US growth stocks representing 10% of the portfolio. Can you please give me some choices for the one or two growth stocks? Thanks again!

Q: Hi Team,
This is more of a general/ speculative question on Go Easy. What do you see as the "end game", or ultimate goal of this company? Do you see them as continuing to keep growing the company, as they been doing indefinitely. Expanding into the US possibly? Or do you see them being acquired by a larger entity eventually? Right now, their market cap is still only showing 1.6 billion. Pretty small relatively speaking in the banking world. What potential do you see them having over the next say 10-15yrs? 5,10,20-billion-dollar company? Just trying to gauge the potential over the long term here. Thanks!

Q: Generally which size companies provide the best returns after a decline we have experienced,?
All of the above 3 companies ( small, mid, large cap ) are well run with good financials and should be able to ride this out. Is the small cap story played out with investors staying away for a protracted period ? Are mid caps are of the right size to be seen as safer, more liquid,? Are large caps just too large to grow ?
My question is not on these specific 3 companies but is more general in nature as to where to look for best rebound returns. Thanks
Derek
