Investment Q&A

Q: Role play. You're you giving yourself advice:

Assuming the market is going to puke all over itself today, what are you buying and how long are you waiting to pull the trigger on it?

Everything is long term hold.

Thanks

Q: Could you please recommend five moderately conservative stocks that you believe will prove to have been a sensible buy 5 to 10 years down the road.

Q: Can you recommend some stocks in Robotics?

Q: What was the cause in the drop in price for OKTA at the end of May.
Big 7% drop in price this A.M. with ISRG. ? ? ? Thanks

Q: My question is regarding RESPs.. Is it preferred to hold Canadian or US securities? Or doesn’t matter ?

Your favourite CND and US stocks for a long term hold in this account. Thanks

Q: I have a couple holdings that are giving me question for keeping.

I have a cost base of 20 on Sentinel and altho there was some positive stock movement a few months back the stock is currently showing little sign of moving higher. I know they are in Cyber Security. Is it worth holding and where would you suggest the funds could be better deployed if its a Sell?

In the case of SNN my cost is 24 but based on the longer term chart i'm not certain there is alot of confidence in the management when comparing to better performing Medical Device companies like Stryker. Would this be a Sell and redeployment of Cash into Intuitive Surgical?

Q: What would be good price to buy ISRG hedged to Canadian dollar???.....thanks mutely.....tom

Q: Why did Deutch Bank down grade? What is their rationale? What were the main reasons? Thank you for your objective view

Q: I have a 4.7% position in Intuitive. 10 years from retirement with a long term horizon and can handle volatility. What’s your thought on brining this up to a 5.5% position based on today’s volatility? I’m torn as I added it as a 3% position that has done exceptionally well. What would you do if it were you? Thanks.. as always, I appreciate your logical approach to investment decisions and the vast insights provided over the last 7 years.

Q: Hi 5I.

Deutsche Bank has just downgraded ISRG to "sell" and lowered price target to $440. What do they know that we (or I) don't?

Q: What are your top 5 stocks in North America with no consideration of portfolio mix 1 being the best?

Q: I enjoy all the questions that pass through. I’m not into day trading but certainly add a couple swing trades in as a boost as well as selling calls.

With the question you answered about Canadian companies for day trading would you please provide a few US names that would fit your criteria.

Thank you.

Q: I am preparing to invest cash again.

Where we sit...a low point..in the economy and sentiment....could you suggest 3 Cdn dividend stocks ( and 3-5 US growth stocks and 5 ETFs (balanced and global) that represent a good buying opportunity in these poor markets...that have the potential to show very good returns over the next 5 years out.am preparing to deploy cash into the market.

I would say I am a investor that can tolerate 80 in the medium risk category and up to 20 % in higher risk holdings.

Timing is not a good thing to factor in, but things appears a like a recession is coming if not already here...would you sugest averaging in? and over what period of time.
Thank you

p.s. Currently all I own is RBC, Sun Life and PIMCO Monthly Income.

Q: Which 5-6 companies look like good buys after the recent quarter and are in sectors the markets favor at this time? Thx

Q: Hello 5i Team, I'm quite overweight CSU and was thinking about trimming some (or lots). I've held CSU since 2014 and think it might be time to reduce my exposure. If you were given a blank sheet and could pick 5 quality US and 5 quality Canadian names; which would they be?
Thank you Brent

Q: Would you be a buyer of ISRG at this time? If not, what price would you consider it to be buyable?

Q: My grandson is graduating next month. As a gift I’m going to give him an initial deposit for a registered account, help him open it by attending a meeting with a bank, or help him set up a DIY account. I want him to choose TFSA, RRSP, or FHSA after doing some reading (he doesn’t turn 18 for a few more months so we have some prep time). I read The Wealthy Barbour in my 20’s, is it still a good choice to educate and motivate young people about savings as a lifestyle, or do you have some other suggestions? I would also love suggestions for 2-3 stocks or 1-2 etfs that would be suitable for the initial investment (that could be added to regularly to keep the process simple) if he chooses DIY. Thanks!

Q: TMO on downward trend. Is this a buy, sell or hold and if you recommend moving on but staying in the same area what do you recommend? If leaving healthcare, what is one strong conviction stock to buy today in any area? Thank you!

Q: Can you please list your 5 highest conviction large cap and med cap stocks for a 5+ year hold? All US holdings please.

Also, is it fair to say the market has fully rebounded? Or is the worse still to come? I understand it’s impossible to predict, but your thoughts are much appreciated.

Thank you for everything

Q: Hello Team,

I have some funds available in a US trading account, could you name your top 3 US suggestions, I currently own NBIS and CLBT, so looking for some high growth names.

Thanks
