Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Good morning 5i,

Having missed the major swap to staples. Viewing them as a buy when they are down not on momentum.
Are their any consumer stocks you see holding value still as an add for longterm hold?
We own QSR and ATD.B.
What are your better / best recommendations.

Thanks for the excellent advice.

Q: I am ready to exit Suncor, and am looking for a replacement stock with a good balance between dividend sustainability (over the long term, understanding that almost no dividends are safe in the current environment), dividend yield, and dividend growth.
I am considering either QSR or SYL (or another stock in the consumer discretionary or tech sectors -- please recommend, slight preference for consumer discretionary as I am underweight this sector) as a replacement. This is for a long term (hopefully indefinite) hold. I already hold CTC.A, MSFT, and IBM. Thank you.

Q: Good Morning
I currently have 37 positions spread over 3 accounts(RRSP,TFSA,INVEST). Most if not all are or at one time been in 5i’s model portfolios. Many of these are currently at 1.5% or less and although I believe they all have varying levels of potential their current weighting in my overall portfolio will have little impact unless they all go up. I believe I should consolidate the listed group, do you agree and if so which ones would you keep? Proceeds would be added to the remaining names.
Thank you for your continued advice and guidance.
As a side note you advice regarding non action in turbulent times is proof positive. Aside from harvesting some tax losses and buying proxies for a handful of names, my portfolio is now bordering on even for the year.
Publish if you wish

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and team,

How would you rank BYD, PBH, QSR and DSG for an add on in a RESP? Time frame is 8 years. Would rankings change within a TFSA?

Is it possible to buy stocks for a child who is under 18? Or would the child have to wait until 19 to own stocks.?

Please charge however among of credit for the questions.

Thanks again for your your great service!

Q: Hi 5i Research Team:

I have traded Forex before and am new to stock trading. 90% of my RRSP, RESP and TFSA is in cash and I'd like to avail the current market conditions by "gradually" buying the dips.. and holding it over the long term, 5 to 10 years. I understand that no one can time the market or its bottom.

After exploring the reports and questions on your site, I have identified the enclosed 29 stocks based on following criteria:
- Current Retracements of > 75% over 52 week high & low
- Dividend Yield > 5% (in some cases, like WEED, which is a bit risky, I understand there's no dividend in the near term.. and I am simply going for the upside swing over the next 2 years... same for CRON and Air Canada)

Considering my 90% cash position and strategy to partially buy in on dips over the next few weeks, can you please advise if my stock selection is sound. In addition to my stock picks, please advise anything else that I should keep in mind.

Thanks for everything you do. Much appreciate.

Q: I am overweight financials and I am thinking of selling PWF, which has a nice yield but no growth, and replacing it with a non-financial large cap dividend growth stock of similar quality. I am looking at QSR which has a lower yield but hopefully more growth, and CCL.B which has an even lower yield but presumably higher growth. If not one of these, what would your top recommendations be in the large cap dividend growth space?
