Q: Hi,

I would like to purchase a large, dividend paying US stock that has some potential for future growth (or is currently undervalued) in my RRSP. Could you provide some suggestions?

Thank you,
Evan

Q: Good morning 5i team. I am interested in your opinion of KRP being held in a US rrsp. In reading your last response the withholding tax seemed to override your recommendation. Second question is under the present market conditions with 1 year to a lif conversion I have been bolstering interest yielding investment with a potential for capital gain. Could you recommend 3 Cdn and 3 US stocks or etf's with high dividends that have good earnings outlooks, valuation and perhaps some growth.

Q: MTY or QSR: which best buy? I am thinking mild recession - maybe better price of entry later? I do not own any stocks in this group. Not sure I need to own? Not big dividend growers which is my mantra. Too many good blue chips avai8lable that are good dividend growers.

Q: Hello, can you tell me how close the NEO listed CDRs are tracking the US listed companies? Also, is there a no fee site where I can compare the performance of the CDRs against their US equivalents? I don’t see tHis functionality on 5i and it would be nice to have. Thanks.

Q: Dear Peter,

This question is based on your excellent article in Canadian Money Saver Nov/Dec 2015! How time flies, eh?! Titled: Setting up a US income portfolio with call options.

Several years ago I had asked if you have written any follow articles on this strategy? If you have, please post the links for all of your subscribers. That would be helpful.

But my question is this:
Based on the criteria that you highlighted in that article if you had to choose Five stocks what would those stocks be today?

I am semi retired senior citizen who can allocate 10-15% of my portfolio to this strategy.

Many thanks in advance.
Mano.

Q: I hold the following companies in my consumer cyclical and defensive part of portfolio.

Cyclical:

AirBnb
Aritzia
DOO
MED
SBUX

Defensive:
COST


I’m thinking of selling MED and adding to the balance of my cyclical positions. What are your thoughts on this portfolio of companies and which ones look most attractive today to add to?

For defensive, I only hold Costco. What companies would you suggest I look to diversify my defensive portfolio?

Thanks
Greg

Q: Brief thoughts on these weeds I'm looking to pick.

Return and % weight in portfolio now and what I plan:

MGA: -39, 2.13%. Looking to trim slightly down to 1.5%, add to ATZ, BYD, BKNG or SBUX?
ILLM: -87%, 0.14%. So small now its insignificant, roll into GOOG position
CTS: -46%, 0.96%. Hovering at 1 yr low. Aside from strategic review, what's the catalyst?
MED: -61%, 0.80%. Sell and add to ATZ, BYD, BKNG or SBUX?

Toss them, hold them or water them? Thanks!

Q: Good Morning,

As the market gets beaten down yields on some very good companies are becoming difficult to ignore.

With a recession in sight yields could possibly get even better.

I am retired and an income investor sitting on substantial cash.

What would be your preferred course of action at this time?

What companies would be most attractive to you?

Thanks
