Investment Q&A

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

Q: Morning,

The stocks mentioned are examples of Canadian stories that remarkable runs in recent years. PHO had an amazing 2017 and obviously CXR made those who sold high a ton of money. Same with CRH. Question is, for 2018, can you name 3 Canadian stocks that may be under the radar but could emerge as darlings once better known? Specific interest would be in stocks with proven assets or concepts more so than those waiting for a stroke of luck like a drug approval or patent.

Thanks!

Q: In my TFSA I have a 3/4 position in CXI and have held it for a couple of years. Have 1/4 position in PHO. How would you view selling CXI to buy PHO? Sector not an issue and looking for the one with the greatest growth potential. Willing to hang on to CXI if you think it has a future.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I missed the recent run up in the stock, as did not buy when first recommended at 5iResearch, last year. However, reading through your comments, for past several months, I am getting interested in building a position, may be 2%, for all our family accounts. My present portfolio (and family) reflects more of 5i Balanced but also have some Growth companies , like SHOP, GIB.a, KXS, TOY, etc. each 3-4%. I am quite happy with the portfolio mix and its performance. Thanks to continued guidance and excellent picks by your team. Would you be comfortable to buy at today's levels or is it too late to the party. ? Thanks

Q: In early December I sold half of a position in GUD for tax loss purposes. To put the money to use I purchased a half position in PHO as a "temporary" replacement.
The plan was to then sell PHO and repurchase GUD after 30 days.
PHO has done reasonably well since then. GUD has also increased.
Based on a long term time frame and no sector impacts would you stick with the original plan and repurchase GUD to a full position or would you remain with a half position in each GUD and PHO?

Q: In a national post article, you mentioned that this could be the year of takeovers. I know you don't have a crystal ball but what stocks do you think could be attractive to a bigger player, e.g. the acquisition of Pure by Xlem. I note that Celestica appears real cheap but doesn't move. Perhaps someone might decide to come and buy this baby. Thanks.

Q: Hello,

I have some cash in my TFSA, and I am interested in buying a stock with good growth in capital and dividend appreciation. I am a long term investor.

Currently in my TFSA, I have FAP, CHW, NEPT, PHO, SIS and S.

I am looking at TWM, Tidewater Midstream and Infrastructure.

What do you think of TWM? Or do you have a better recommendation?

Thank you very much.

Q: Happy New Year to the entire 5i team. Currently I have what I consider to be a well balanced portfolio based primarily on your balanced portfolio. I have $50,000 to invest in my TFSA. I would like to invest in Canadian companies that are relatively safe yet offer solid growth opportunities now and in the future. I have chosen the above companies. Please rank them for me and can you think of others I should add or any I should leave out?

Q: Thank you for your kind answer to my earlier question suggesting PTE,AVO and GSY.
Any sub 5 dollar stocks, other than ECN/GUD? I bought ECN, again reading your Q&A section! GUD is above 5 bucks but bought it anyway as it was your top tax loss selling candidate.
Thanks in advance.
