Q: Hi 5i team,
With the recent pullback in the stock price of both Canadian Tire (CTC.A) and Alimentation Couche-Tard, if you only had to pick one, which one would you choose for the next 3-5 years?

Q: hello 5i:
with the understanding that they are worlds apart, and knowing that I am down substantially on ECN, would you think a switch to CTC.A would be a prudent move? Looking at a long term chart (5 years, or 10 years), and reviewing its earnings expectations (seem to meet or beat on an annual basis), it appears that CTC.A, is, at worst, fairly valued, and at best, lightly undervalued. Factoring in the Helly Hansen acquisition seems to make it look more undervalued. Your comment please, and I am NOT adverse to continuing to hold ECN.
thanks

Q: Hi, I was looking at buying HD but then started looking at Canadian Tire. According to Yahoo finance valuation looks cheaper and faster growth for Canadian Tire. Other than obvious size differences, would there be any other reason not to buy CTC.A over HD? thanks

Q: Canaccord has identified CanadianTire as one of their top 10 dividend stocks.

2 questions here:

1. Is there any information as to the sales volumes and comparable profitability between their 3 major divisions: Canadian Tire stores, Marks Work Wear House and Sport Check? And if so, projected future numbers.

2. Would you agree with Canaccord's opinion?

Thanks.

Q: I own MG and MTY in consumer cyclicals and contemplating adding another name among GIL, RCH, ZZZ or CTC.A. Please order them from best to worst as a solid complement to the two I already have, as part of an RRSP account with a 15+ years time frame. Please give a brief rationale and suggest another company if there is an obvious better choice. I note that the stock value of RCH is surprisingly stable on multi-year charts for a c. cyclical.

Q: Hello,
I currently hold a DRIP Portfolio consisting of BAM.A,BNS,RY,MFC,SU,FTS,RCI,ECA,TRP,and POT. I have found this style of investing quite profitable and am looking to add a couple names. I'm considering WSP and TCN. Given the names I already own and the valuation of the two companies, which one would you suggest? Can you think of any other companies that might be a nice addition? I have a 15 year time horizon. Thanks for your awesome service.

Q: I have held these equities in my well-diversified portfolio for many years and am a long-term investor, not averse to risks,and do not need the cash. Which if any do you think I should dispose of , and why? Thank you.

Q: I apologies; I mis-phrased my question. The DRIP investments would be in addition to the TFSA and RSP investments (in different securities). As I understand things, a DRIP with a company sponsored plan such as TRP thru Computershare cannot be held inside a registered account. Is this correct? If so the $5k position in the non-registered (DRIP) account would not amount to a $25k per stock concentration and I believe the dividend tax credit would be useful since the account is non-registered. Thank you for your suggestions and service. I like your suggestions but a little surprised that a utility such as FTS was not recommended. Is there a reason you would not suggest a utility DRIP for a long term hold? Jim.
