Q: Would it make sense for both Couche Tard and Suncor to strike a deal for the former to take over the latter's retail gas stations? Would such a deal unlock value for Suncor, and at the same time be a meaningful addition to Couche Tard?

Q: There is a lot of talk about a shift to value stocks. What is and how do I identify a value stock and can you give some examples of current opportunities in your portfolios and generally please?

Q: Can you give us your concensus on Suncor's quarter and outlook?
I have several hundred shares that average close to the present price.
Would you hold, sell a portion, or dump them all?
My feeling is with time they may climb back some, but it's risky with all the rush to green companies whether they've proven themselves or not.

thanks, Paul

Q: Hi 5i,

Please kindly comments the above stocks (FTS, SU, ENB, KEY) in oil related sector, I am thinking to invest for 1-2 years, kindly to rank the risk and potential in coming future. Should I keep all of them or may suggest to take off one? Perhaps I should consider FTS more on utility rather than oil related? Thanks for your advise.

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

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.
