Mark

Dennis

Q: Good morning fellas:
With 5g coming , would American tower be a name to buy for my tfsa. There’s a moat situation with the towers all over the United States and overseas . Would u recommend at the current price . Seems to me this would a name u could hold for many years and sleep at night .
Thx mark

Q: Buffett has bought into Crown Castle. Is American Tower the better buy? Both are Reits which will benefit from 5G. Perhaps prudent to hold an equal weight in both for diversification?

Q: What would 5i's top 3 ways to invest in the coming 5G in Canada and the US - thank you.

Q: Hi Team,

If I were to pick one which one would you pick and why?

Thanks!

Q: I'm interested in 2 lo-volatility stocks, with some dividend and some momentum for a minimum of 2 years. Most of these REITs mentioned have lots of hold recommendations, but very few buys despite their recent outperformance?? Are they overbought? Can you pick 1 or 2 US REITS for me and 2 CDN reits as well?

Q: I am looking for investing in one of the cell tower real estate in the USA. I would appreciate to know which one among the following would be better options now.
AMT, CCI, EQIX, DLR, SBAC

Q: Hi there,

For real estate exposure in the US i have held AMT for 10 years at about a 2% position. With the 5G rollout i beleive these tower services will become significantly more profitable as they sell 'extra space on the existing infrastructure. Your thoughts on this theme and if you were going to add would you add to AMT or CCI. AMT has performed better but has a lower yield. As well, CCI had lower earnings last quarter while AMTs earnings have been growing consistently. I am approaching retirement (next 5 years) so i like a decent dividend with a bit of growth. Thanks for all you do!

Q: Investing in 5G network companies - I hearing a lot about this - do you have any suggestion of US or Canadian companies that I can invest in to take advantage of this? Thanks

Q: Could I please have your opinion on the following stocks: American Tower Corp (AMT), Cognex Corp (CGNX), Comcast Corp (CMCSA), Corning Inc (GLW), Qualcomm (QCOM), ServiceNow (NOW), Dowdupont (DWDP)? Regarding Fairfax India Holdings (FFXDF), is this a five year hold, or is it money down the drain? Your recent answer to someone asking about Cognex (CGNX) was that it was out of favour. Can I have more details? Do you think this is the time to be buying gold due to the US's huge debt, and the increasing trade tension between the US and China? Thank you for your input.

Q: What would your choices be to invest in 5G
Is there an etf that would be better, spread the risk
Many thanks

Q: Hi team,

I am looking for your best ideas (small / medium / large cap) to invest in the ongoing and ever-increasing move to 5G. Telcos will be spending billions over next decade. And ultimately benefitting of course. But which companies will benefit from that, or government's (?) spending? Mostly interested in Canadian-based companies. I know AMT and CCI are the big players in US. Any chance they get a foothold in Canada? Does small company like Baylin have unique expertise to deliver in this space? Are they well-managed and well-known enough? Anyone else?

Thanks for advice.

Q: why this company dropped quite a bit for the last 2 days, is it a buy/sell/hold? thanks.

Q: What is your opinion of buying any or all of the above at this time for some US exposure generally and for these sectors specifically.Please rank them in the order you'd recommend them and I understand the limitation of your opinion regarding US equities. Thanks - Ken

Q: Are there etf's that simplify the tax headaches associated with owning individual US limited partnerships and reits such as mainstreet capital and american tower. Any comments on these two companies would be appreciated. Thanks

Q: Peter, can I please get your thoughts on American Tower for a long-term hold. It seems to have a bit of a 'moat', or at least a great advantage, with all of its communication tower sites. Do you like the concept and the company going forward, acknowledging that it's a US stock and you don't cover it. Thx!

Q: Hi Peter and Team: Over time I've been trying to make my portfolio as similar as possible to your model. Since I own two of the big Canadian telcos in a separate portfiolio, I've been looking for something else to fill the missing 5%. I recently looked at tower companies. These are interesting, in particular because the three biggest US tower companies are rated "buys" by Morningstar, with fair values larger that their market value. However, based on their fundamentals (via Morningstar) I'm not sure what their growth prospects are (dividents are small to zero). I've heard some hype to the effect that 4G network proliferation will push their prices up. Can you shed any light on this family of stocks, in particular, American Tower (AMT, US)? Also, it and some others are now REITs. Does this cause any complications for a Canadian resident?

Q: Hi Peter&5i: I have for some time now owned American Tower (AMT), on the thesis that owning the wireless infrastructure that everyone has no choice but to use is apt to be a pretty good gig. Also it gave me exposure to the American dollar through what I considered to be a blue-chip US large-cap. Within the last few days however Carson Block/Muddy Waters (remember Sinoforest?) released an exposé style report on AMT, concluding that it was close to double its defensible valuation. What do you think? I have been using it as a cornerstone holding. Would you trim it back before seeing how things shake out? Thanks!!
