Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i
My son-in-law has a Registered Disability Savings Plan, and I'm going to help him to invest and manage the money to achieve growth with low to moderate risk. He's only 30 so has many years to grow his (and the Government's) contributions. Presently, he only has a mutual fund in it, the Mackenzie Ivy Global Balanced Fund which I've discovered has a 2.38% MER.
Firstly, I'd like to replace this mutual fund with a low cost ETF that is relatively safe but can still show some good growth. To this end, can you recommend two or three Canadian ETFs that might be suitable for me to do further research on.
Secondly, in addition to an ETF, at this time he wants to have some single stocks in the RDSP as well. Can you please recommend three or four Canadian blue-chip type growth equities, and that would be of interest to a millennial...so not too boring : )
Thank you!

Q: Good Afternoon,

I am overweight in tech. Which of these would you reduce/sell first?

Thanks.

Q: Hi group ITP now 20 % off the highs generated by their last quarterly report. Any idea what is going on with this stock is it a buy sell or hold
Second question if you were to buy 3 stocks in the US and 3 Canada with moderate risk/reward what would your picks be and why ?Thanks for all your help its much appreciated

Q: Let's build a three stock portfolio and have some fun :)
In it there needs to be one small cap, one mid cap and one large cap.
For long term hold 10+ years
No etf's and only CND stocks.

On another topic, Peter if you were in France, on your road bike, climbing l'alpe d'Huez (It being the stock market) Where on that climb do you believe you are at before heading down? In other words, how much more RPM(revolutions per minute) does this market have before the chain comes off it's derailleur?

Thank you,

Biking Enthusiast :))

Q: Hi,
What price do you recommend to buy LSPD?
Thank you.

Q: Hi team,
I currently have small positions in both OTEX and ENGH. I would like to add a position in either DSG or LSPD. Which do you think would be the better choice for a 3-5 year hold, looking for growth with some stability. If you could also provide the reasoning behind your choice and whether you would add to these at current levels or wait for a pull back I would appreciate it.

Regards,
Paula

Q: Which one do you think offers the best return over the next 5 years.?

Q: Good morning 5i team
Regarding 'Lightspeed Capital' (Ref: Aug 5, 2020 press release), where Lightspeed announces up to US $50,000 funds per retail location, who is providing the funding? Lightspeed, Stripe, or a third party? I don't see any Loan Receivables on LSPD's December 31, 2020 Balance Sheet, and I hope this means Lightspeed is not bankrolling their clients. Thank you for your help on this.

Q: According to the portfolio analyzer, I need to reduce my tech. These are the companies I own (I'm not entirely sure WELL belongs on this list). Where should I start with reducing? Probably 2-3 names, or a partial disposition of a few. I'm up on all. Thanks!

Q: Could you please rank the above tech stocks in order of preference please. And thanks for the great service.

Q: Can you please comment on the share offering - what this means going forward. As well as what price would you be comfortable adding to LSPD If the shares dip.

Thank you!

Q: Peter; Now I know why LSPD has been weak lately- comments on the issue? Rod

Q: 5i has stated in the past that the above companies have no debt (LNF "very little debt") - is that still the case? If possible, can you please name 5 additional good CAN and 5 US companies that have no debt or very little?
Thanks!

Q: Hi,
What price would you recommend to buy and sell LSPD, NEVI and TOI?

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,

Today, it raised in the beginning and dropped now. is it a good to buy for according to the reports? What is the target price for 1-2 years. Will it become much better after the COVID? Kindly advise many thanks.

Q: Your comments on the latest quarter. Many thanks.
Clayton

Q: Preface: Luv u guys and the service that you supply so well. Listened to Peter's hedging presentation in the MoneyShow this morning - So valuable!
My non-specific company question is about how you reply to portfolio questions (like Stanley's Q earlier today on behalf of his 40 y.o. daughter's portfolio): Stanley indicated Canadian equity positions of 13%, 19%, and 7.5% for the TOTAL portfolio - Correct? My TOTAL portfolio contains barely more than 10% Canadian equities! It might have positions up to 10% within that 10% allotment, but not 10% of the TOTAL portfolio value. I know that 5i recommends a more global (US and Int'l) weight to TOTAL portfolios, but you rarely mention this when replying to Qs like Stanley's... Is that for brevity, or am I missing the portfolio theory?

Q: I handle my 40 year old daaughters portfolio. In her $170,000 balanced portfolio which is equally balanced, BYD has grown to 13%, LSPD to 19% and SHOP to 7.5%. The funds are not required for any other purpose than growing the income for retirement. We are not too concerned about the downside of these. Still, 5i keeps insisting that a maximum to hold for equities shwould be 5%. Should we trim and put the excess else where and if so could you suggest where or keep on with no change. We are comfortabl with this. Thank you
Stanley

Q: Hello, SHOP is reporting tomorrow and LSPD on Thursday . Would you suggest to sell before they report since they have both gone up a lot ?.
What do you expect with this quarter.?
Thanks
Carlo

Q: I have these equities in TFSA and have $6,000 to invest. I have small gain in PHO and loss in REAL. Would you keep both of these or have suggestions as to what would be three growth stocks to acquire in the sequence you would acquire them in. Thanks for your assistance
