Investment Q&A

Q: Just looking for an opinion,

In what scenario does this ever get back to it's glory days before the oil fallout years ago? I have owned this for sometime in a TFSA and wondering if I should just keep holding due to not being able to harvest tax loss or take the loss and move the proceeds into something else in a different industry where over time I could recoup the loss.

Q: As of today, what would be your top 10 most stable Canadian companies, or ETF's, to invest in. Stable meaning those best able to ride out any market or economic downturn. Dividends are always nice but not essential. Thanks as always.

Q: I've noticed a lot of positive comments on Aritzia lately. If 5i were to cover this, what kind of rating would it receive? Also, I noticed it was in the Balanced portfolio; however, given its potential, would you also add it to the growth portfolio too?

Q: If you had to pick three out of the above for a TFSA today, which three would you pick?

Thanks!

Q: This question is about first things first. I would like to add to ATZ which I'm underweight but am already overweight Consumer Discretionary. At the same time, I am underweight Health Care and could add to this sector. Now for the lead up to the question - If the first principle is tp focus on the portfolio, then I should go with the health care stock rather than ATZ. Is that right?!.....What a quandary, eh?!......Tom

Q: In my TFSA, which one would you suggest for long term growth.

Q: I want to initial a position in ATZ. Stock has dropped last couple days, what price would be a reasonable entry point?

Thanks,

Q: Hello,
If US legalization on cannabis does not happen during Biden's term, would curaleaf still be a good buy? The company appears to be firing on all cylinders and yet the stock hardly moves. It only trades over the counter and cdnx given the current status of legalization in US. I am sure if it traded on nasdaq or NYSE, there would be more exposure. Is it worth holding or consider buying more shares? Is Aritzia a good long term stock given its current guidance and numbers..? Thanks very much.

Q: Reading through their earnings and it sure feels like it was a blow-out quarter. The stock is down 4% today. Is this just a sell the news event or did I miss something materially negative from the release?

Q: Hi Team,
Three part question. Firstly, I know as professionals you do not recommend “winners” climbing to over a certain % of ones Portfolio. However, if early investors in Apple or shopify for example would of bailed ; some would not be millionaires now. Or in some cases , billionaires where the CEO’s are holding most their wealth in their company stock. How can one hope to land that “life changing trade”(1000% or more) if one keeps trimming eternal winners ? Does it not make sense if a person finds that “winning company” to keep holding of goals are set high?

Secondly..is GSY one of those stocks, if you were to choose the likelihood of a solid company with good prospects, to choose to be overweight in and aim for that life changing 1000% move over a 10 yr or so period? I ask this company specifically because I am overweight this company and this is my goal. (Up over 200% so far and metrics still make this stock look cheap to me)

Thirdly… if you were to speculate a few different companies, either US or Cnd as your “best guess’s” so to speak of having the likelihood of producing 1000% gains over the next 10yrs or so; what would they be? Thanks for your input and deduct credits as you see fit. Thanks
Shane

Q: Hi Guys....great service. Looking for an undervalued stock that you think could have a big rebound in the next 6 months to 1 year...do you have a few on your radar?(US or Canada)….thinking of something at least mid-cap....thx

Q: Hi Peter,Ryan and 5i team,
Our grandson’s RESP ( age 7) is overweight in technology having Descarte and Kinaxis. Both have done very well, Do you think it is time to rebalance or continue holding. Which company in your opinion should we sell if any.
If we sell, we would like to add another holding. Please suggest a couple of names that would round out his portfolio.
Thank you as always and enjoy the summer.

Q: Hi 5i
Considering these two, given a 3-5 year period which would you expect higher growth from ?

Thanks
Mike

Q: Hi, looking to high grade my portfolio and swap QSR for MED. Small gain currently with QSR. Can you compare the two fundamentally and do you see MED having higher growth potential? Which would you rather own?

Can you rank these for long term growth? BYD, QSR, DOL, DIS, SBUX, MG, ATZ

Thank you!

Q: Hi,

If not already asked, what are your thoughts on the most recent news for Aritzia wrt acquiring a men's clothing line? I for one had not heard of this brand so not sure how it might stack up to other men's clothing brands. How accretive might it be?
I took a 1/2 position just before the announcement so good timing on my part. :) Street seems to approve of the purchase.

Also wrt ATS Automotive recent acquisition....thoughts on this? How accretive or what might it mean to additional revenues/profits going forward?
I don't own this but am watching it closely.

Cheers,
SteveMc

Q: I have these companies in my growth portfolio. I would like to add 3 more what companies would you suggest.

Q: My wife and I are each opening up a TFSA with 75000 initial deposit in each account. We are thinking of putting 5-8 ETF's into the one account and 10-12 stocks into the other account. Wondering if this is a good strategy or if you would suggest something different? The emphasis would be primarily on growth, but not at extreme risk. Can you recommend 5 or more ETF's (and percentage allotted for each) for good diversity for the one account, and 10-12 stocks equally spread out to cover the $75,000 in the other account.
Please deduct as many credits as appropriate.
Many thanks, Jake

Q: Can you please provide recommendations for three US and 3 Canadian consumer cyclicals, with the strongest conviction names noted first? Medium risk-tolerance, with a preference for a longer-term hold (3-5 years).

On a related note, I already own PLC and am considering swapping it out for ATZ. Can you please rate these two stocks for growth and risk?

Thank you.

Q: I read Peter's article on "Five summertime US stocks picks to set and forget" and great article by the way. I wonder if Peter would have 5 Canadian stocks picks that I could set and forget for the summertime. Tnx.

Q: Hi Team,
I have noticed ATZ has been recommended quite a bit recently by 5i as a favorite. I didn't see a report on it yet when I looked, so I was wondering if you could elaborate a bit as to why this stock looks good right now (business prospects, growth, re-opening play?, valuation, etc), and if it would be one of your top picks in the canadian market to buy right now? Or if there is another compnay you prefer better in the consumer discretionary space within canada? Thanks
