Investment Q&A

Q: What are the street estimates for Topicus and Constellation ? Thank You

Q: It is difficult for a "non-expert" to invest and follow large tech stocks ,plus the fact that the choice is very limited in CDA in my view .Do you believe that CSU is the safest and most promising "large Canadian tech stock" , if yes ,what would be a great entry point, if not ,any other choice ?

Q: My LMN has become 4% of my portfolio - bought most at $17.50 minus the amount given my CSU. I have a 5% position in CSU and virtually no TOI. Sell some LMN to buy TOI? Just buy TOI or considered myself covered by CSU? Growth investor, 10 year horizon. What would you do if it were your account?

Q: Hello Peter,

I am undecided over how to handle my Constellation software holding. I have done well with it and it is 15% of my portfolio. I am vacillating between trimming some and letting it ride until there is a threat from a black swan event. You must have encountered such situations before and your opinion and reasoning may help me take a decision.
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Hit "enter" to fast on my last question. Looking for some ideas with the understanding you can't offer direct recommendations. I have 40 K to add to my non-reg account. I have full positions in all the pipelines, OLY, GWO, BNS, CU, NPI, BIR, PEY, TPZ, CNQ, PRL and BMO. I have no need for any income for at least five years, not opposed to going overweight if necessary, have lots of higher yielders so would perhaps benefit from some choices with capital gain and dividend growth potential versus just high yield.

Q: hi 5i. sorry for the number of equities in this. you seem to like all (most?) of these companies. I have none of these in my portfolio, but have been trying to get in at lower prices. can you please rank as buy, sell, or hold. can you flag any that you have more concern with re the uncertain investing markets right now ie any to totally avoid? could you give a price point at which you would be buyers of the equities.
cheers and thanks, Chris

Q: Hi 5i,

In which risk level would you place each of them?

CSU, LMN, TOI

High
Medium
Low

Q: I started accumulating positions in these the last couple of days with intentions of adding more. Was never able to get in at decent prices ever before. They have all bounced back today and are in green quite nicely which is great but they are only small positions and I wanted to buy more. Do I wait as this mess will give another chance to get in Or do i average up ? Any issues with anything on the list ?

Q: Which 5 Canadian growth stocks would you start to accumulate today? Cash account.
Which 5 USA growth stocks would you start to accumulate today? Cash account.
Five year hold.
Thanks

Q: Only within the last two months we were at record highs, now we’re in a bear marker for the Nasdaq and S&P nearing one. Futures are selling off again here Sunday night. US administration is digging the heels in on these tariffs.

What are your thoughts on the Trump and Fed put? If they don’t change course soon, the economy is going into a recession and midterms next year will be ugly for the GOP. Looking back at all previous crises, what do you think will happen in the next 6-12 months and what’s the game plan? VIX at these levels and large consecutive down days have resulted in nice future returns 1,3,5 years out. Let’s say you had 100k to invest now, how would you deploy over the upcoming weekly or monthly interval? Which 5 CDN and 5 US stocks would you continue to buy on any weakness, assuming only market related? Thank you!

Q: What stock in the balanced equity would you be buying into today for a long term hold (noting that you wouldn’t back up any kind of vehicle into this market)

Q: Hi bad day to be sure I see you suggest buying into some stocks but slowly.
What are the best sectors to buy first now that this black swan event is in play. Please give me you top 4 sectors in order of preference. Also you top 2 picks in each of the 4 also in order of preference as well please

What do you think is the worse case scenario as far as market drop % wise I release its just a guess but you guess is almost certainly better than mine at this point

Q: Hi Chris, With today's blood bath, please advise if you think of screaming buy high conviction stocks for growth and dividend. If possible price range too. Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
With these uncertain times and some talk of cutbacks in data centre investment I was considering selling 50% of my Nvda investment and buying Csu and Srad with the proceeds. My timeframe is 10yrs or so. Would you consider this advisable or should I hold out and hope nvda gets its mojo back?

Thanks,
Shane

Q: For a long-term buy and hold in a growth-oriented TFSA account, which of these two stocks do you see makes more sense? A brief explanation of why would also be helpful.
Thanks

Q: Hi there,

Of these 3 stocks how would you rate to buy now growth from a 3-5 year perspective?

Thank you.

Q: Is there news on LMN, The market including CSU decline a lot while LMN advancing . Thanks a million.

Q: If Peter had to give three picks on BNN Market Call that were Canadian, what would they be?

Q: Hi Gang,

If you had 40K CAD to invest in an unregistered account for a short 2 yr old.. given the environment in which we are in....Where would you invest? Sector is irrelevant - CAD stock is a must (I can't stomach the hit on conversion) UNLESS there is a CDR you would recommend although I know you prefer the real deal. Can be one or multiple. Goal is to maximize growth while preserving capital. Thank you!

Q: Hi Group please share your top 4 sectors c/w 3 stocks in each. (please rate the 3 in order of preferred order to add) also if you could suggest a good entry price (i intend to average in over the next 6 months presently no defense /manufacturing exposure also light on health care. I have 20% of my portfolio in cash. thanks
