Investment Q&A

Q: Phonton Control and Titan Logix, looks to be in the same type of business. Titan appears to be having management issues, and Phonton appears to be more stable in regards to earnings. Do you favour Phonton over Titan Logix? And is this sector looking to get better in the future?

Q: What would be your top candidates to be taken out for a significant premium in 2018??

Q: Hi 5i team. I'm looking to distribute some of my mj profits. Do you still like sis. It's had a pretty good run lately. Are there other companies you like more. I still have mj investments so something a little safer but still with growth potential. I'm still 10yrs from retirement so time isn't that important. Thanks.

Q: I currently have CSU, DSG, ENGH and ZQQ in my IT stocks. I want to add one more, thinking of KXS, PHO or SHOP. Can I have your thoughts on which to add. Thank you, Stephen

Q: I am starting a Growth Portfolio with $100,000 to be phased in over three years. I purchased DOL and SHOP with each 5% weighting, or $5000 each. What weightings should I consider for each of ECN, GSY, OTEX, PHO? (These positions will be in my TFSA and held for the long-term, more than 5 years.) Are there any other positions that I should consider at this time and if so, what weighting?
.PS...I currently hold KXS and GUD in my balanced portfolio.

Q: Hi 5iResearch Team,
I have finally decided to give up my full position on ZCL and was wondering if you can recommend something regardless of sector/industry, to take its place. Preferably I would like something with a dividend but it is not a must. As always, good works guys.
Cheers,

Q: Hey, thanks for your great service.
I'm looking for few companies that I can invest on tsx venture. Any upcoming companies that are doing very well?

Q: Hello 5i.
Could you please give me your top 3 U.S. and 3 CDN stocks you would buy full positions in this week (risk and sector not a concern) with good momentum leading in to 2018.

Thx.

Q: I'm thinking of selling my position in Stella Jones. Its had a great recovery from $37, I'm up a decent amount, I think its showing some resistance around $50. I still think its a great company with a bright future, but am thinking of switching out of it for another stock that has much higher growth prospects or at the very least pays a much more reasonable dividend. It makes up the smallest portion of my portfolio (my other holdings are FTS, ZWE, BEP-UN, GSY, and MJN (Cronos)). I'm 39 years old, make above average income, and I definitely have a high risk threshold.

What are your thoughts on switching out of SJ right now for another company with faster/greater growth prospects? A dividend paying stock is nice, but definitely not necessary as all of my holdings pay dividends except for Cronos. I've been watching BTL since the spring when it was below $3, but that ship may have sailed as of this week.

If you're ok with selling SJ, can you please suggest some names that you think would make a good addition to my current holdings

Thanks - have a great weekend!

Q: My Daughter will be contributing to her TFSA this year (Value of about 50K).
What 5 stocks would you suggest for someone starting out who has many years to contribute and watch the account grow?
Thanks

Q: Which of the above stocks would you consider having the greatest growth potential within the next one to two years with the least amount of downside risk? Can you please provide your rationale for your choice.
Thanks

Q: Would you consider Photon Control an Industrial or Tech?

Thanks.

Q: In a cash account, I have 18% loss on this. I don't need this money for now. For growth or growth with torque where would you go. Or I should keep it.
Thanks.

Q: I have a follow up question to your reply on a question earlier today on Photon:
" PHO has just broken out to a new high on good volume. Typically, this would not be a good time to sell after such a good move. There are no guarantees, of course, and it will fluctuate a lot, but we would view it as a 3 to 5 year position."

What are realistic expectations of returns for holding for his time, how do monitor the results and what flags do you/we look for if the growth is not working?

Thanks

Q: Are there any other names on your radar currently that might resemble a young SYZ or SIS ? Thanx Robbie

Q: Hi...who are the competitors of Photon control ?
Thanks.

Q: Hi... photo control... do they have competitors ? Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter
As a recent new member, I am both impressed and a little overwhelmed with all the information. I started making a lists of potential companies to invest with, but decided to cut to the chase and just ask you....I am looking for your recommendation for both income and growth companies.... perhaps 4 or 5 of each. I am fully invested in TD, which has done well for me this last year, as well as a couple energy stocks.... Spartan and Ring. I am retired but have a steady income flow with pensions and dividends from an ongoing business. Thank you for offering such a great service and look forward to a bright and lucrative future. Brian

Q: Hi,

Thank you for the great service. I just renewed for another 2 years. In regards to Photon Control, would this be a good time to take profits and buy back in at another time?

Q: Gentlemen,
Could you please list your top five growth companies? Tks
Andy,
