Q: I am underwater with all of my holdings. SHOP is currently down 46%, GSY is down 16% and NPI is down 17%. Should I sell and cut my losses or hold? Can I hope for SHOP or the others to recover in 2-3 years time?

Q: Hi 5i team. Love what you guys offer here as I am a recent trial member who pulled the trigger and signed up. I currently hold ATZ, BAM.A FLOW GSY PRN SLF TOI VFV and WSP in a TFSA. I am looking at rounding out my portfolio to include one of: IIP.un, DIR.un, CAR.un for long term hold with focus on growth and ok with some volatility. So out of those 3 what would you suggest is the best one to choose? Also, any other suggestions you would consider adding to my portfolio for increased diversification based on my overall strategy? Thanks

Q: Hello

I have about $25K in cash to invest with a 15 year time horizon. I own many of your balanced and income portfolio CO’s already, I probably own too many with 25-30 in my portfolio that’s high 6 figures. I don’t own these 2 - GSY or SHOP.

Would you recommended added these two new positions to my portfolio, or just increase positions with my current names - WSP, TFII, BAM.a, the banks, etc.


Thanks,

Q: I have 20K in my TFSA that needs to be invested. Looking for growth stocks which should be at a bargain these days. Which would be your 5 top Canadian stocks at the moment. I do realize that this is a repetitive question so one more time for old times sake.
Many thanks for your guidance over the years.
Regards

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide the names of some beaten down stocks that have a decent chance of recovery over the next year or two. This is a relatively short timeline but I'm looking for companies that still have a good balance sheet, are well managed, have good prospects, and yet have still been caught in the downdraft along with the negative market sentiment. Any sector and any market cap but with a focus on small to mid-cap. Thank you.

Q: The above companies are all down considerably in the last few months. Do you see any of them continuing on a downward trend such that it is best to sell now, and take the loss, and invest in something more stable? Or do you foresee any of these companies rebounding from their lows such that they are currently great buy low candidates? If so which one(s)?

Q: I own EIF in my TFSA. It has proven to be a steady dividend paying stock, holding up quite well in this downturn. My other stocks are small cap, some up some down. However, history has shown that the recent decline in stock prices present an opportunity for oversized gains. I would not expect this with EIF, and am looking to BAM, GSY, and MG for a larger eventual bounce, with the NASDAQ 100 as another option. TFSA Is a small part of total portfolio. Your thoughts on this switch with a discussion on these 4 is appreciated. Derek

Q: In regards to an earlier answer, which stock(s) do you believe is a better alternative than SIS? Same sector or otherwise? Risk is not an issue.

Thanks for your service.

Q: I have a small RESP for my son and was planning on splitting the account with these 6 stocks. Any thoughts and / or suggestions on removing / adding name(s). Buy and forget for 10yr+ and likely adding to the positions every year. My intent is to have a more serious look at the allocation / risk once the amount becomes more meaningful. Thank you!

Q: Greetings 5i team,
I hold WELL and DSG in my TFSA to the tune of about 1.5% each of my overall portfolio. I am considering selling one or both and concentrating on one of three companies: WELL, DSG or GSY. If we were to ignore company size, sector, diversification and strictly look at 5 yr growth potential, would you 1. Hold one or two of these names and 2. In which order do you think has / have the most potential?
I am not averse to holdings of < 3% if I might add to them in the future.
Thank you as always.
SP
