Investment Q&A

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

Q: Just finished the book '100-baggers'. As a buy and hold guy, the 'coffee can portfolio' approach is relatable. If you guys could purchase 10 Canadian stocks to not touch for the next 5-10 years which stocks would you include? Thanks.

Q: Hi, I have 2% position of SHOP in my TFSA while my XBC (down 60%) and WELL (down 6%) are 1% positions. I've been waiting on XBC and WELL but am also tempted to sell both and up my position in SHOP. How would you rank the three in terms of growth potential? Unless XBC and WELL are potential home runs then it seems wise to consolidate...
thanks,
Mark

Q: We are looking to create a 'growth' portfolio using our TFSA accounts. This portfolio will represent a small portion of our overall investments. The portfolio will hold ~10 Canadian and ~10 US stocks. All purchases in the portfolio will be made with the intent to be long-term holds (10+ years).

Using the 5i research reports, model portfolios and Q&A section, we've selected the listed Canadian stocks. Please rank these stocks and suggest any tweaks, additions or subtractions, you might make. As well, please suggest a companion list of US stocks. Thanks!

Q: I own these companies, some are doing great, and some I'm waiting to get my money back. I just sold TC energy, not really liking the direction it was heading and was thinking of buying enbridge. Did I do a mistake? Should I rebuy it? I'm looking for a 1 year hold. Or should I buy something different? In that case what do you recommend?
Thanks

Q: Hi, we have a small <1% holding in Well Health. Stock does not seem to gain traction over $7-$8 level, despite great news time to time, over past 2 years. I know, you have a lot of conviction in the company, based on the CEO's past record. Even the last news of their majority share holder and HK business tycoon, snapping company's shares @ $9.50, during a private placement. My question is that is the stock worth holding due to its growth potential ( despite not so impressive price movement ) and if so, do you believe, it could reach $9-$10 in next 1-2 years. Or, we should be patient, expecting a buyer, at some point in the future.

Thank You

Q: I would like to double my Health sector % as recommended by Portfolio Analytics. I could also increase US portion of my portfolio but either Can or US is fine.
Current holdings and percentage of total portfolio are:
GUD (.75%), WELL (2.85%), ABBV (.81%)
Could increase existing holdings but have also been looking at US stocks CI and MED.
Your thoughts on approach and recommendations, including additions/deletions/other equities I have not mentioned would be appreciated. Dividend is not essential.
As always, many thanks.

Q: Hello Peter,
Can you comment on Greenlane's earnings release? Is it worth adding to it? Also, for Nuvei and Well, are both worth adding or just a hold for now? With current numbers for knight, beating on eps and revenues, do you think the company is finally showing signs of upward movement in the stock price ( it is up but are things looking good now). On my last question on Enthusiast Gaming,, is the stock a hold now and any ideas as to why it was not one of the takeover targets ( i know it is speculation but why would you think score over eglx). Much appreciated for your comments.

Q: I am looking at a TFSA in which the funds will be withdrawn in about 5 years. I want to replace RY with something with a greater return potential, and will accept some risk for that hopeful gain in total return. Staying in Canada.

I am stuck picking between TOI, GSY, WELL, LSPD, ATZ and DOO. You seem to like them all. Which one or two would you pick today? and Why?
