Q: Hello 5i Team,

Could you please suggest 20 Canadian and/or U.S. stocks for a "buy and hold" portfolio in an RRSP with average-to-above-average risk and a 5+ year timeframe.

Feel free to subtract as many credits as you see fit.

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!

Q: My wife took early retirement with DB plan. Her RRSP and TFSA are well diversified. She has enough money to invest in about 10 companies. This money is not needed in foreseeable future. However, a small dividend is appreciated along with capital appreciation. It will be invested in a regular account. Can you please suggest top 12 companies.

Thanks inadvance

Q: Finally.... 1st Analyst coverage from RBC capital Markets

" Mr. Kwan became the first analyst to initiated coverage of Lumine Group Inc. (LMN-X), giving it a “buy” rating and $28 target, and Topicus.com Inc. (TOI-X) with a “hold” rating and $99 target. "

Any comments on above ratings/reports ?

They seem to support 5i thesis on both companies.

Thank You

Q: I bought CSU way back at $400 or so and (despite your advice), hate the idea of selling any more of a stock that seems to do so well month after month. At some point however, I need to reduce CSU again, and am wondering about putting some into LMN which you like as well. I have very small positions in both TOI and LMN, but so far neither has done much in comparison to CSU.

My question is, if CSU has "an event" that drags it down really badly, will the sister companies also get tarred with the same brush? Would I be better looking at something completely different like HPS.A?

Thanks for your advice - I have done well by it!

Q: I have .85 and .79 % holdings respectively in the above 2 companies. The dividend yields are paltry so I'm thinking of consolidating them . Which of the two do you see with better growth potential or could you recommend 3 or 4 others with better growth opportunities irrespective of sector allocation with a dividend and without a dividend. I already hold CSU, LMN, TOI, TFII, GLXY, HPS.A
Thank -you
Jeff

Q: I know you have done this before, but with reference to recent results for both companies, could you compare and rank these two companies. TOI gets a higher grade A- on your most recent report, and LMN gets a B+. As I read through the responses to questions, it seems that LMN is preferred, but I thought TOI's results were better than LMNs. But I must confess I do not understand some of the "preferred" charges. It appears that LMN suffered a huge loss. I realize that both are long term investments, but I'm just trying to get a sense of portfolio allotments. Thank you for fantastic service, as always.

Q: Hello

I am looking to deploy some capital ($8,000) into the new FHSA and was looking for some ideas of how to diversify this $$. I have a 3-5 year timeframe and will likely not be actively trading these positions. Can you please advise how it would be best to deploy the funds given the time frame and with a moderate to high risk tolerance.

Can be the companies mentioned above or others. CSU would be great but given it is almost $3,000 a share, not much room to work with that.

Was thinking along the lines of 100 shares of BN @ $42 range and 200 shares of Lumine @ $19 range

Any other ideas of price points you think might be best?

Thanks as always for your help
