Investment Q&A

Q: Magna MG I am slowly getting tired of its performance. What do you suggest to replace it with? US and CA. Thanks and Greetings, Peter.

Q: Hi 5i,

Had to trim some of my US holdings today due to portfolio balancing/management.

Hoping you could recommend some potential US stocks to redeploy this capitol over the next few months when the opportunity comes up. Looking to hold for at least 5+ years and I am interested in growth and ok with risk.

I have already enough exposure to AI stocks (AMD/VRT/GOOG/MSFT). I am open to any other sector you suggest but was leaning towards something in the real estate or industrial sector.

Thank you in advance and love the service,

Greg C.

Q: Hello 5i,
I have a follow=up question about HIND:CA. When I look at the data on your company profile, the market cap shows as being 2.5 million. Both GlobeInvestor and the company website peg it at around 26 million. I am guessing that your feed has a typo?
Also, on the company website, they reference a number - "126 B" as being their "Average Market Capitalization". What does this reference in relation to the fund's market capitalization of 26.5 M?
I note, incidentally, that this fund's market cap seems to be slowly increasing. At what point should one take this fund seriously? Would increasing market cap need to be considered in conjunction with length of time as an operating fund before jumping in?
I am not quite ready to "pull the trigger" on this one, but it is very high on my list, and I am looking for "buy signals" as opposed to buying blind.
Many thanks for any insights you can offer.
Cheers,
Mike

Q: I am overweight both of these names. I am hoping for a recovery pop at which time I will seek to sell down a bit and spread the money out. Can you please give me a few other names that you might suggest for growth at this time? I sold booking holdings at a loss so please exclude that name. I am too afraid to buy back smci due to its wild volatility. I was consider coherent, Motorola, and Monolithic Power but am open to other suggestions. Thank you.

Q: Hello Team,

I am setting up a TFSA account for my son, he would be saving this money for a house down the road (at least 5-7 years away).

I was thinking maybe purchasing 3-4 stocks and 1 ETF for him to hold, can you let me know what you would recommend. We are going to deposit the max he can deposit which is 19.5K.

Looking to maximize growth.

Thanks.

Q: HI, RTX or LMT which one scores better? Greetings, Peter.

Q: Hi Team,
Under current market conditions, could I have your top 3 sectors to invest in today along with 4 (2 cnd and 2 US) of your favorite names from each sector.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Can you recommend a few US non tech stocks that you see have good upside?
Thanks

Q: If you have to create new balance portfolio that includes CDR and CDN stocks.. Which 25 stocks portfolio would you recommend that includes both.

Do you think you would create new balance portfolio in the future that includes CDR.

Thanks for the great service

Q: At 60 I suddenly find myself semi-retired. Although it's a few years earlier than anticipated, I'm actually pretty excited - I've used the CRA retirement calculator (an excellent tool) and have a solid plan. I do need to make a $150,000 RRSP account last until I am 70 when I plan on applying for CPP and OAS. I want to pull $18,000 per year from the RRSP account a so it does require some growth. Can you suggest a mix of US and Canadian holdings and or etf's (about 50% allocation each country) for such a scenario? Thanks so much.

Q: Hi there do you know why RTX dropped by 10% over the past few weeks? Do you still consider it a good industrial stock?

Thanks!

Q: Dear 5i team.

I would like to look at a small investment in defence/war munitions sector companys or ETF. Can you suggest 3-5 names that cater to "War" efforts that can be considered a DIY ETF? As well, which ETF(s) would you consider for this exercise. Ideally one with the lowest BA %.
Finally, are these Co's trading at resonable valuations, or has this ship sailed, so to speak?

Many thanks for your help.

Q: Hi, can I get your recommendations on some Industrial stocks for a conservative portfolio as well as a few picks you might lean to with your inclinations for more growth. Thank you as always! Looking forward to your suggestions.

Q: If Trump wins this election i am considering moving most of my investments into the US market. I think that Canada amongst others will suffer thru his direction (dictatorship) and US stocks will do well. Would you have any stock recommendations should this election play out this way. Thx, James

Q: I am seeking a few ideas to deploy US dollars in both RRSP and TFSA for a balance hold approach, and dont need tech. Thank you

Q: Can you recommend any stocks that would benefit if China invaded Taiwan? I was thinking along the line of military, resources, submarine, sea technology stocks, etc. But if you know of any other ones that would be great too. Thanks.

Helen

Q: Hi everyone!! I have been thinking of adding these two names to my portfolio . What are your thoughts on their long term growth prospects???

Cheers,
Tamara

Q: I have funds for 2 of the above. Please rank 1-4 in the order you would invest today for maximum growth over 5 years. If there is an industrial/materials that has yet to be discussed in the 5i pages that should be considered, then please include. Thanks

Q: Good Morning
These stocks are in my wife's US Riff account
What US stock or stocks would you recommend as an addition to this list?
She is overweight in both finance and tech in her Canadian Riff so looking for alternative suggestions with some growth and a modest dividend?
Thks
Marcel
