Investment Q&A

Q: Hi, can you please advise current PE ratios for each of these companies. Can you also rank them best to worst for adding a new position today for 3-5 year investment not taking into account sector diversification within the portfolio.

Q: On a scale of 10, what is you degree of confidence in CSU ?

Q: Howdy!
I try to be a buy and hold investor with a long-term investment horizon in my RRSP account.
I have recently joined your service and am thinking about trying to reposition my RRSP account to emulate the sector allocation in your Balanced Portfolio.
About 30% of my portfolio is sitting on cash /cash equivalent investments right now; and I have almost 0% in the Technology and Basic Materials sectors.
As such, would you recommend a position in all of the nine equities that represent the Tech and Basic Materials sectors in your Balanced Portfolio?
Or have some of them (like CCL.B) peaked /not as much room left for appreciation compared to when first bought?

Q: What would your top 4 buys be to hold in a taxable account? What would be your suggested time frame for each?

Q: I've noted in the Q&A section you continue to support both CSU AND CGNX. I already own CSU and note that with all the 'noise' these days it seems to go about its business and is much more stable than some of the other tech. companies. Would you consider CGNX to be the same kind of company and do you think it would be a top American company to complement CSU? Are there 1 or 2 other tech. companies (Canadian or American) you could recommend that you favour that would help me to gain good diversification to the technology sector. As further guidance, I appreciated Mike's caution about the importance of being patient, but I must admit, I personally find it easier to maintain my patience when I'm invested in less volatile companies. As always, I appreciate your guidance.

Q: Hi 5i,

As of today, which stocks would you purchase with a full position in an RRSP to hold for 3-5 years?

Which stocks would you consider value stocks to purchase today for 1/2 to a full position in an RRSP?

Thank you for your excellent service and advice.

Cheers,

Jerry & Debbie

Q: Hi Guys,

I am once again trying to clean up my portfolio and currently have no tech stocks. Can you please recommend your top 5 tech stock picks, they can be US or Canada?

Thanks

Q: I have been following your balanced portfolio. Have been reading questions and answers. Am thinking of selling a full position in Engh and purchasing otex or constellation software. What do you think? T as always

Q: Hi, can you rank these companies for long term holds considering currrent valuation. Thanks

Q: Hi, could you name four or five Canadian company's that you could hold through thick and thin, and not worry about, as per Warren Buffet, regardless of risk situation, thanks?

Q: Hi 5i, In my TFSA I have: SIS, KXS, PHO.
Just sold SHOP & GUD and took some nice profit (thanks).
I have 40K, I like to invest on CSU, would you 'get in' at current prices or can you suggest one or two stocks.
My risk is moderate to high.

Q: Hi Peter and Company,

I have looked at metrics (beta, market cap, p/cash flow ratio, p/e ratio, dividend rate) for the above 3 mentioned IT/tech companies and feel that OTEX seems to have the best metrics among them. Would you please comments on these companies and rank them accordingly.

Cheers,
Harry

Q: Hi team,

CSU reported record earnings and a dividend that would normally see its share price propel upwards. Instead, as I write this question the share price is dropping. What am I missing?

Thank you ,
Bash

Q: any comments on the latest quarter??
Thx

Q: Pretty hefty movements in these 3 today. Anything of note?

Thanks

Sheldon

Q: I know you are not allowed to own any stocks,but if you could own one stock,what would it be.

Q: Would really like your view on Celestica going forward and where the company stands based on valuation among their peers. And is there another tech stock one might consider which has a decent balance sheet... long term holder here.
Thxs. Kevin

Q: Hi Peter and Group. I have just taken some profits on WEF - I needed to lessen my exposure anyway. What is your top 3 stocks I should reinvest in? (regardless of sector) - I am a moderate risk investor. Thanks for the service

Q: I am retired and able to live comfortably on
my Federal government superannuation, OAS and CPP.
Can you recommend a single stock for a TFSA, in which I currently hold a full position in ENF and a double position in AYA purchased when originally recommended by 5i?

Thank you for considering my question.

Q: I'm helping my 65-year-old mother reallocate some funds (mostly diversifying and ditching debilitated oil stocks and mutual funds). Using about 3% of her funds, she would like to make a tech purchase (her first) for a long-term investment (5+ years) aiming at growth for this particular position. Following your recommendations, we are considering (a) Constellation (CSU), (b) Kinaxis (KXS) or (c) a mix of both. These are two great stocks and this is a nice moment to buy tech in general, but which of these three scenarios would be best right now?
