Investment Q&A

Q: Hi what are the chances that any of these names will be going to the capital markets and issue more stock?
They are all doing very well,so they might be tempting to issue more stocks.
How would you rate those for stock as a buy right now?

Q: Have some cash to purchase one or two companies in my TFSA. Am wondering about CTS or PKK. What is your opinion of these 2, which would you prefer and why?

An alternative would be to add to a couple recent purchases that I have I/2 positions in. These are ATZ, TIXT, NEO.

I await your guidance and please take the appropriate # of credits, I know this is more than one credit.
Again many thanks for your guidance.
John

Q: Just finished the book '100-baggers'. As a buy and hold guy, the 'coffee can portfolio' approach is relatable. If you guys could purchase 10 Canadian stocks to not touch for the next 5-10 years which stocks would you include? Thanks.

Q: Hi team!!

Any reason for TIXT jump?

Thx!!

Q: The landscape of tech stocks in Canada seems to be rapidly evolving, with several impressive IPO's of late, and some very strong growth stories emerging. In a well diversified portfolio, how would you rate the desirability of holding each of the following tech stocks on a scale of one to ten, with 10 being a must own, 1 being a definite "no", and 5 being something OK, but nothing special. 5+ year holding period.

CSU, CTS, DND, DSG, ENGH, KXS, LSPD, MAGT, NVEI, OTEX, TIXT, TOI

Q: Would like to create a 10-15 stock portfolio out the securities listed above, to meet my retirement income and growth needs, for a long term hold.
CPD is my current, imperfect proxy for the fixed income portion of my portfolio.
CVE, CNQ, SU would be the only opportunistic (and highly correlated) purchases, to take advantage of the current low valuations for the petroleum industry. These would be sold if the oil & gas market's prospects change.
Please rank all the securities on the basis of return potential over 2-3 years as the primary criteria,
Please eliminate any stock which does not have adequate balance sheet strength, from the lineup.
Please add to the lineup all securites that would facilitate the creation of a defensible, well-diversified, long term portfolio - especially if it is in a sector that I have overlooked.

Thank you for your expertise, and willingness to help me sleep a bit more soundly.

Q: Hello 5i,

Can you please rank the following stocks for a new purchase and a 5-year hold, OR rank your top 5 in order if that is easier?

PINS, MED, VEEV, FVRR, DD, AI, SHOP, NIO, AC, STC, XBC, TIXT, TOI

Thank you for your insight.

Cheers,
Debbie and Jerry

Q: I have the above stocks in my TSFA, and I have additional funds and was wondering which one you would add to.

Thanks 5i team for your expert support.

Dave.

Q: I'm looking to start/add to two positions in a well diversified taxable account. The above list of stocks, from a review of the questions, are some of your current favourites. Would you please add two additional names to the above list that I have not listed and then provide me with your current ranking of the stocks for investment purposes in the next week or two.

Thanks,

Terry

Q: I would like to add a new position in my TFSA. Please comment on the above equities. Outlook for the next 4 years. What would be your preference.
Thank you!

Q: I would like to start a Growth portfolio, with 60% US and 40% Canadian stocks. I have approximately $300,000 for this account and a long term view. Would appreciate some suggestions. thanks

Q: Thoughts on the recent quarter? Currently building a position in the name and looking at add at these level.

Q: I have owned ENGH for several years in a non-registered account. Sitting on significant capital gains. Would you endorse a portfolio change to sell ENGH in order to buy TIXT for a long-term hold. In other words, do you like TIXT enough to take a capital gains hit in order to buy it? The TIXT conference call was impressive.

Thanks.

Q: Could you please recommend a few stocks for two RESP accounts? First account for 4 years old grandchild. Second account for three grandchildren (4, 5, and 8 years old). Planning to contribute $2000 ($500 for each grandchild). The first account has already 26 ENB shares. The second account is a new account. Thanks in advance for your very valuable advice.

Q: I have held BCE for a while now, and have always enjoyed the dividend yield it provides. TIXT seems to be poised for greater growth, but BCE is a steady provider of dividend yield with modest price appreciation. I have been looking at TIXT, and I am wondering if I should make a switch, or stick with BCE. I don’t think I would want to make a larger commitment to telcos, as I would rather keep my capital free for investment in other sectors, so I would feel comfortable with an either/or situation, rather than equal amounts of both. I will appreciate any insight you have to offer. Thanks so much, and I look forward to your response.

Q: Assuming a deflationary scenario and a continuing low interest rate environment for the next 18-24 months or so, what are your top five sectors and the top three picks within those sectors.
Many thanks for your most helpful advice.
John

Q: Do you think that Telus intends to keep a significant holding in TIXT. I realize more secondary offerings could be in the cards and its anyone's guess but just your thoughts would be appreciated, thanks.

Q: Hi !

If capital preservation was the goal, which of the above would you choose. : )

Q: I had planned to buy TIXT as my next Tech purchase but it has been trending down (down 2% today as I write this) and I do not buy on bad momentum. However, it is getting near ist price the week of its issue and 5I are positive on it long term. I realize you cannot pick bottoms but is there a price wher you feel it "should not go lower"

Q: Has there been significant insider selling over the past 3 months?
Is the debt level sustainable?
