Q: Happy New Year Peter and the 5i team! Thank you for another year of useful steady independent information flow to guide 5i members.

I am considering adding 5 large-cap or mid-cap Canadian sustainable dividend growth stocks that are currently under-valued in unloved sectors and now yielding at least 3%. MFC and SU stand out. What is your opinion about both as medium risk investments over the next 3-5 years?

In addition, please indicate your 3 best stock alternatives, and 3 best ETFs, in the medium risk large cap or mid-cap Canadian space with a solid record of dividend growth.

I realize this is a broad request so please deduct points as you deem appropriate.
Thank-you.

Q: Hi guys,

Two questions so please deduct the appropriate credits:

1 - Is the energy sector now purely a trade going forward? Are the days or steady production growth gone given how volatile the price of energy can be? It seems like there are ample opportunities for trades, but buy and hold, unless its a pipelines seems to be finished for now at least. Agree or Disagree?

2 - Looking to add some consumer discretionary to my portfolio for a recovery. Deciding between QSR and ATZ. I like the size of QSR and the dividend, but ATZ has lots of growth potential in the U.S. and Internationally and my wife likes their clothes!! ;) If you had to choose one, which would it be?

Thank you,
Jason

Q: Hi all,

For AC.TO and SU.TO, they are just like brother increased more than 5% today. I have brought those two stocks half years ago and finally now back to profit. I want to thank you fro your advise and actually no need to wait for 3 years :)
Which one will benefit more after COVID? Do you think keep holding now, since both hitting the high price for 3-6 months. After the COVID, how long will last for those two in benefit the raise? 1-2 years? Usually, I have difficult to sell the stocks in high price, do you think they are good for long term holding for 5-10 years? What is the possible in short term one year target price? Kindly advise.

Q: Hi Guys,

I'm starting to get interested in the energy sector for more of a long term hold. The sector has been crushed but I don't believe the world is going to abandon oil and gas any time soon. Looking for a producer that pays a dividend, so I can get a return while I wait. What companies would you guys suggest?
