Investment Q&A

Q: EXP has fallen by nearly 25% in the last 5-6 weeks. Any idea what has caused this? And do you see it recovering going forward? Thanks

Q: Hello,

What would be your top mid-cap stocks for both the CDN and US stocks for contribution into TFSAs?

You're often asked for small-cap companies so wondering if we could go up a notch in the rankings to see what your thoughts are....

As always, many thanks for your help and wishing you well in 2025!

Q: I am interested in picking a US materials Co as a play on infrastructure spending and to balance my portfolio. I am considering Martin Marietta, US Lime & Minerals, Eagle materials and Quanta services. My only materials holding at present is Agnico Eagle mines (1.6%). I am a moderate risk investor. Of these 4, which you would comfortably buy today with greatest growth potential. Secondly which two seem to you to be least risky. Finally is there another company you would prefer to any of these and if so what would be your reasoning for that pick. Thanks as always.

Q: Good Morning

Thank you

Q: Please list your top 3 commodity stocks or etfs

Q: Hi 5i!
Piggy backing off one of my last questions on building a solid portfolio from scratch through diversification et al(THANK YOU!). Knowing you can’t get personal; looking for some mid to long term hold recommendations (either US or CA) in the following sectors with growth upside in mind as I have significant cash (250K+) sitting in my RRSP doing nothing. I am currently quite top heavy in Tech – and own the above in registered and non-registered accounts.

If you have several recos for a sector, can you please rank in order of preference. Additionally, if there is a sector that can be put to the side with the idea of prioritizing others, I would be keen to know. Also open to add ETF's to represent a sector. As always, thanks a million. I love your service.

Q: In the current market and beyond, knowing I currently own CS, what would be 1 or 2 good Materials diversification stocks to buy or are the markets currently overvalued ? Is LUN a good example for instance ?

Thanks

Q: Please rank these five companies, top to bottom, for maximum returns, for the next 2-3 years. Thanks

Q: Hi All;

I am looking through potential Materials companies for an investment and note in many questions here you single out EXP as a preferred investment in construction materials. Who would be their largest 3 competitors in this business segment, and of the 4 how would you rank them in terms of potential investment gains over a 5 year period?

Thanks,

Dave

Q: What companies in the USA for materials - Is lumber the next thing to run as we are short of housing in USA and CDN

Q: I have some USD cash sitting in my RRSP. What would be your most compelling buys today for an agressive investor for an RRSP, irregardless of sector. Kindly rank if possible. (with the caveat that tax loss selling isn’t possible)

I was considering FCX or EXP as I am light on materials. Would either of these fit in an RRSP, and which of these two would be your preference at this time?

Thank you
Please deduct as you deem fit.

Q: Can you please rank the above material stocks for purchasing right now? Thank you

Q: Thoughts on the dramatic reversal today in NVDA? Are these just the bots selling and then retail panicking causing more selling? Near term top? What are your general thoughts on the markets currently? Does tech need a cooling off period to reset? If you were trimming NVDA, what are some best ideas non tech or AI related to currently buy or add to? Long term investor and focused on keeping position sizing in line. Thanks!

Q: Thanks to 5i, over the recent past, I have DCA these stocks, holding less than 5% with room to add based on your advice.
a) 3% - AXON VRT HPS ISRG LMN
b) 2% - BKNG CLS LLY NVDA CELH
c) 1% - POWL NXT EXP
Please rank those that you would be comfortable adding to [DCA] now - with target percentages. For example, would you add to AXON first and, if so, to what percentage.
.

Q: I have funds for 2 of the above. Please rank 1-4 in the order you would invest today for maximum growth over 5 years. If there is an industrial/materials that has yet to be discussed in the 5i pages that should be considered, then please include. Thanks
