Investment Q&A

Q: I am looking to add a Consumer Discretionary (CD) stock to my portfolio. I try to only hold the best companies I can find in the sector. I lean towards AMZN but prefer to hold companies with dividends that grow with the company, like TSCO. Which of these two would you choose?

Is there another CD stock that you would prefer and which I should consider?

Q: I want to buy Amazon and was wondering if it would be better for me to buy in Canadian through the neo exchange. I wanted to avoid having to pay currency conversion fees. Also wonder if this would prevented me from paying 15% withholding tax?

Please comment on Mgni Q2 results released today.In After Hours it was at $8.61, a drop of 6.82% Again its it timely to sell at some 53% loss in investment a/c and replace with above stocks.Please comment. Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: Hi, I am looking for quality US stocks that do not give out a dividend like BRK.B and GOOG and are unlikely to start issuing dividends in the next years. Can you suggest 4-5 other names?

Q: Please give me 3 or 4 Canadian and US larger growthy stocks { ie safer } with good valuations to sweeten a diversified ETF portfolio return. Thank you

Q: Hello Peter,

I would like your opinion on Shopify not just on its own merit but in relation to the ecommerce business of Amazon. While the long term adoption is in place the rate of growth has slowed according to Shopify. However, Amazon being a much larger and mature business had an impressive revenue growth for the quarter?
How will the market value Shopify as compared to amazon? And when taking into account Shopify's vertical integration and Amazon's diverse business, which one would give a better return to the investor for the next 12-18 months?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: If i wanted to purchase only one of these, which would be you preference?

Q: Hello 5i Research
Amazon and Apple reported good results last night .Is it a good time to start a new position or are they over valued at current price?
Thanks for your ongoing support!

Q: Hi,
With WMT results in mind, how do you feel MCD, V, AMZN will react with earnings all lined up this week. I understand MCD isn't a retailer but is linked with consumer spending, necessities, inflation, etc.
Appreciate this.

Q: I have a little to spend and am looking amongst the solid Canadian and US companies that you most recommend for long-term stability and growth.

Specifically though, I'm looking for these companies that seem underpriced and that have been doing well in their buyback policy.

Q: Have 3% position in Amzn @ C$20.977 incurring some 32% loss. Its July Prime Day event was the best ever,so thinking of adding despite this painful bearish market backdrop.Please provide U usual great advices & views. Thanks

Q: Canoo Inc NASDAQ: GOEV does this company have the potential to be another Tesla? Any insider buying and how good is management?

Q: CSU and BEP.UN are graded A and are your only A grade companies in Canada. What might be an A grade company from the U.S. if you were to grade?

Thx

Q: Please rank these for a 3 year hold. I'm down in all of them, except AAPL, ISRG & TSLA

Thanks!

Q: Hi,

For a long term hold and at current market prices, would you have a preference between MSFT or AMZN (either one would be a new position for me)?

Thanks,
Brad

Q: Has anyone seen the AMZN CDR/NEO Split?

Q: Dear 5i

Q: I sold TTD and AMZN to realize a tax loss more than 30 days ago and I know that I can buy them back today with no issues. I bought ROKU and SHOP respectively as proxies a week later with the proceeds. They are both down (I guess things don't always work out!). The first question is can I sell both of these and claim a tax loss despite my not having owned them for 30 days?

Secondly, I am assuming you would recommend buying AMZN back (not that you don't like SHOP) but would you still re-purchase TTD? Does APPS offer a potentially better return? Or might you stay the course with ROKU? It appears to me that these companies are similar businesses.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: These large behemoths have been decimated in varying degrees. Would you please rank them and would you buy now for a long hold on what seems like a huge sale on quality leaders? Thanks.
