Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: In reviewing questions regarding infrastructure WSP Global and Jacobs Engineering appear to be among your favorites. How how would you rank them against each other and is there another 1 or 2 worthy of consideration?

As always thanks for the great service.

Q: I plan to contribute some money ($50K) into RRSP and split between CAD and USD stocks. The time horizon is around 5-10 years. But it is always good to see some short term gain. Can you please provide ~ 5 stocks each (currency) to invest?

Thank you,

Q: The portfolio analyzer tells me I am low in industrials, slightly over is US holdings, and under in international holdings. I have cash in US$ to deploy for 1.5 positions. Can you suggest an industrial or two that might help me balance. If I have to go over in US holdings I'm okay with that. Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter and Team
Looking for guidance on US holdings in a non registered account. My feeling from following your questions is that the US market would likely do well next year or 2 and that I should not invest 100% in Canada. Can you list 5 US securities that you see as good growth for next 2-3 years holding ?
Thanks for excellent guidance
Peter

Q: I have about $100K to invest in the US stock market to bring my portfolio closer to my intended US weighting, and I am looking for some US stock/ETF ideas.

My portfolio is already 25% Technology, and 16.5% Financials. So I don't need suggestions from those sectors. I was considering more VFV, but that has 25% Technology in it already, so maybe an ETF to complement that.

Can you suggest some US stocks that are not in the Technology or Financial sector that you would consider for a US style model portfolio. And also some ETFs holding US stocks that are light in Technology and Financials.

Thanks,
Paul

Q: Hi 5i,

Thanks for your great service over the last two years. I’m very happy with how I’m doing based on your insights.

My portfolio analytics suggest I am underweight in consumer cyclicals and consumer defensive.

Please recommend your top 3 US buys in each area.

Also, please suggest your top 3 US buys right now regardless of sector.

Q: We have done very well with Apple in an RRSP account. So much so that it has grown to represent 15% of the portfolio. While I do believe Appl can still grow in value I think it would be prudent to sell some for diversification purposes. Can you suggest a good US company to buy? We also hold Disney in this account.
