Thank you

Q: Hi, Can you name a few companies say 3 Us and 3 canadian companies who have been prolific in creating value for their shareholders either by buying back shares/not increasing their share count while growing consistently. A small dividend if applicable but leaning more towards growth in earnings. Preferably with some sort of monopoly or advantage in their field. Thank you.

Q: Trying to decide what to do with the cash from selling TOY. Thoughts on moving this to a new position in GIL? I see they had a big drop in October. Any reasons to stay away? Or any other suggestions on what to do with this cash. This would be a new position in a TFSA.

Thanks

Q: Hello,
Would you add to these positions ? 5 year + hold.
Any favorites ? Your general comments are always appreciated !
Thank you

Q: I have owned Boyd for the past year in a non registered account and have realized capital gains due to the conversion this month. I also own GIL in the same account. Just wondering for tax loss selling if I should sell GIL now to offset the Boyd gain a bit. I intend to buy back GIL after the 30 days. Do you think I should wait a bit or is now a good time to do this?

Q: Happy New Year. What do you expect from bad and gil in the coming year? Are you ok with starting a position in bam and dsg today or would you wait for a pullback? T Steve

Q: I'm an owner of the Balanced Equity portfolio. I had to turn over a lot of the portfolio in the second half of last year due to some transactions I was doing. I'm now back to having my cash and looking to rebuild the part of the BE portfolio I'm missing.

How do you see GIL for new purchases today? Any key BE names other than this one I should focus on now given market conditions today?

Q: Any of your favorites oversold due to tax loss selling and providing a good buy opportunity this week? I have a bit of cash to invest so wondering where to put it.... Mainly balanced portfolio follower but open to any of your portfolio stocks on good opportunities.

Q: I do not currently have a position in GIL. It seems to be recovering well after the recent earnings miss. Would this be a good time to initiate a position?

Q: Hello 5i team,
I have a question in terms of buying the dips for Gildan Activewear Inc. I initially bought roughly a half position around the time you issued the buy recommendation for GIL at $49.33. Since the poor recent quarter and guidance downwards for the next year, the stock has dropped to $34.26 as I write this.

It seems this is purely market driven as appose to company fault. If I plan to hold this long term (~5 years), would it be a good idea to add to my current position? I know you are not a fan of averaging down, but isn't buying the dip the same thing?

Q: Hello 5i Research team,
My question relates to your answer to a recent question from “dave” about “must own”. Could you conceptually define what a “must own” company? They are probably the foundation of a stock portfolio; each of these companies should be kept to a full position throughout the economic cycle. That’s where it gets interesting, because your list included GSY and GIL.
As a long term owner of GSY (thank you 5i), I would tend (if capable) to overweight (let it run) during the most favorable portion of the economic cycle, but to underweighted it when the credit cycle deteriorate. Would you agree?
About GIL, but not specifically about GIL: when a situation such as what happened to GIL recently would happened about one of these selected companies, would you almost automatically buy the dip to increase back the position to a full position, and think about medium and long term? Would you agree?
Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: Hi 5i team,
These two stocks, which are in the Balance portfolio, had a lot of happenings in the past few days. GIL posted negative news while GUD posted positive news. Is it a good time to initiate a 4% position in one or both stocks ? Would it be prudent to add to these two stocks right now, or better to wait till the dust settles.
Thanks

Q: Have you been able to gather any more information about the Gildan annoucement that was recently announced?

Q: GIL is on my add to holdings at next opportunity to align with the 5i portfolio. Is today the day to do it with the drop? I assume this is greatly Trump China trade related so who knows how it will go. CAE and BYD.un are also on my buy at next opportunity list would you prefer one of those...

Q: Hi there, I have a position in Gildan and it looks like its down about 18% in pre trading on the earnings warning. What do you suggest doing in this situation?

Thanks!

Q: I have a list of all earnings release dates and when I feel it is necessary I will do a protective put before earnings, which seems to work very well in this volatile market.
What the h--- happened with the GIL guidance which just seems to come out of the blue with no warning etc?
How does one protect against something that happens haphazardly?
Why would they do this? To piss off their shareholders?

Q: Hello 5i,

I currently hold these stocks in an unregistered account. I have journaled over the five companies into a US account for the dividend. I would like to add possibly two more companies that pay their dividend in US funds. I have the rest of the balanced fund and some growth in my TFSA. Any suggestions to add here, and if it results in duplication, what would you remove from the list. I am well balanced and would likely have to sell at least one current stock and could just add the other if you can give me two. Was looking at Nutrien or AQN. Didn’t pull the trigger on AQN last year at 12.5.

Thanks for the assist.

Q: Hello Peter, I called in BNN market call but could not ask the question. Good show.
Question is about adding new money on a regular basis. What do you suggest adding to - positions that are lagging ( and thus are at the lower weight now - some listed above) or picking ones with most attractive outlook (from fundamental perspective).
Can you please suggest top 2-3 names in each portfolio at this time.
Thanks

Q: Gentlemen good morning

Can you please name a short list of good stocks (US and Can, any sector ) that can be on a growth & a value list
It’s a tricky or irrational question but I try it.
Thanks Regards
