Investment Q&A

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

Q: Thanks for all the advice and enjoy some quiet time over the holidays.
After the year end flurry of tax loss selling and portfolio adjustments, I will have new contributions to well balanced RESP and TFSA in 2021. Could you suggest 3 companies to add for each for long term holds and growth ?
Cheers, Peter

Q: How would you rank these top flyers from a futrure stock appreciation point of view. With so many positive comments, its tough to determine which is the best of the best and with limited new cash to invest, I can't own them all.

Q: Hello Team 5i,
I own the companies listed above within a TFSA
REAL is smallest holding at 11% of this account = approx 12k
I will add 6k to TFSA in Jan 21

I am considering four options
Keep REAL and BUY more REAL with 6k
Keep REAL and BUY more XBC, STC, ATA and/or WELL with 6k
SELL REAL and BUY NVEI with 18k
SELL REAL and BUY more XBC, STC, ATA and/or WELL with 18k

-sector allocation not a consideration
-transaction costs not a concern
-concentration (# of securities) within TFSA not a consideration

Your thoughts please?

All the best to all the people at 5i who provide such a wonderful service.

Q: I was fortunate to acquire DND at issue and have a nice profit. In reply to the recent questions about DND - specifically about 3-5 year hold for capital gains - you ranked it behind KXS, NVEI, XBC, although noting it is the largest/ safest among NVEI and XBC. My question is whether you would advise to sell all or part DND and reinvest in NVEI or XBC, which I do not presently own to maximize gains over 3-5 year time frame.

Q: Good afternoon, team. This morning on BNN it was announced that CP is planning on developing a hydrogen locomotive. The G&M had an article identifying stocks it felt were positioned to make a pivot to the "hydrogen ecosystem". These seemed to be mostly drillers: HAL, BKR, SLB and, in Canada, PD and EFX. Also today my Economist arrived with an article hydrogen powered flight. Something seems to be happening here. I have had Ballard Power but it hasn't ever made a profit. Is XBC in this field? Can you identify two or three US and Canadian companies that might be good for investment now?

Q: Hello Peter,
First, I want to thank you and your team for a fabulous job. I really find your service useful not just from stock selection, but gaining knowledge in the industry overall. Best wishes for Xmas and the New Year.
The stocks are from various sectors so not apples to apples comparison but if you had to choose the list from lower risk to higher risk, what would it look like and what factors did you use to select the profile.. Many thanks.

Q: Current assessment of these two stocks. Mdf had a big jump today on the Aldi News. Would you recommend either of these 2 at current price.

For XBC the stock has run up a fair bit. Would you recommend a buy here or wait for a pullback

Q: I have room to add one of these to my TFSA now and another in January. I see 2 of these are in your model portfolios. In what order would you purchase these 3 or am I getting too picky ? SCORE had a huge recent run up; would you wait for it to settle down. I like it’s theme and strong insider ownership Thanks

Q: Hi 5i team,
I will use XBC as an example here. It is now approaching $1B market cap. You guys always seem to reference this as a magic threshold that can bring in bigger investors that either don’t like the small cap space or are not permitted there by their mandate. I am curious if this is a key threshold for just Canadian companies or is the threshold typically higher for U.S. companies, where the cap sizes are proportionately higher.
Thanks again for the insight.
Dave
