Q: Just a short comment on the rails, having been employed at one for my career. These two companies may see volume drop off, but they also have the ability to reduce capex and headcount. In an environment of less traffic, their operating ratio gets easier to reduce. In my mind, very defensive stocks to hold

Q: hello 5i:
the railroads are beginning to look a little more interesting to me. While I still think we need at least another 5% taken from the price to become very interested, I wish to know which you'd pick today, knowing you go back and forth on them (you last chose CN in mid-August), and WHY you'd choose the one you do.
thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

I currently hold these stocks in an unregistered account. I have journaled over the five companies into a US account for the dividend. I would like to add possibly two more companies that pay their dividend in US funds. I have the rest of the balanced fund and some growth in my TFSA. Any suggestions to add here, and if it results in duplication, what would you remove from the list. I am well balanced and would likely have to sell at least one current stock and could just add the other if you can give me two. Was looking at Nutrien or AQN. Didn’t pull the trigger on AQN last year at 12.5.

Thanks for the assist.

Q: Hello:
I am looking for a conservative, growth orientated, low dividend payout company that will give me capital gains. Dividends are a low priority. Any thoughts on CNR, CP or ATD or other companies that would satisfy my objective. Thanks in advance.

Q: I'm thinking about selling a position in EFN with a 5% weighting in a RESP with a 5 year time horizon and replacing it with either CNR, NTR or BIP.UN. Another newsletter is big on these 3 names for longer term holds. Thoughts?

Q: Hi, I need to increase my Industrial Sector a fair bit. I started with full positions in CNR, FTT and SIS. CNR has doubled but FTT and SIS are both down, SIS quite a bit.

I started with a half position in WSP and it's up a bit.

What would you do here to increase your Industrials

Thanks
Robert

Q: Hello 5i,
I’ve changed my investment goals for my children’s resp. It will be spent within the next 6 years, so after the December correction I plan to liquidate. At this point, I have $5 k more than I promised them. The stocks listed above are those that remain in the account.
Going forward should I:
1) sell all the stocks and buy an etf for 5k?
2) if an etf, which one for max growth?
3) if one were to keep only one or two stocks, which would be kept for most potential for gains? (This would be instead of the etf).

I would not have grown the resp to its current value had it not been for 5i. Thank you for helping me fund my kids education!
