Investment Q&A

Q: I have a relatively small RESP portfolio that will have to change to an RRIF. I would like the RRIF to be able to generate enough dividends to cover the required withdrawals. If that is possible. Can you tell me your top ten highest dividend-paying Canadian companies or maybe even better ETFs or a combination that you would be comfortable owning?

Thank you.
David

Q: With intrest rate rising,perhaps faster in USthan Canada Which stocks will benefit and which has more risk but perhaps benefit.
Does Energy stocks still have room to grow?

Q: Hello,

I would be interested in hearing your top 6 choices for Canadian stocks (or possibly ETFs) with reasonable yields (2% or more) where you would consider the stock/ETF price to be relatively safe in the current and near-future environment, e.g. rising interest rates and inflation.

Please exclude SLF as I already own it, and include no more than one bank stock (or ETF) in the list for diversification.

Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team
I have held QSR in a RIF and am considering replacing it with KEG or AW. Both have more attractive dividends and seem to be performing better in the present environment. Could you rank in order of preference based on present valuation and future returns. Thanks for all you do.

Q: What are your thoughts about QSR? I want to know why this stock has been trading sideways for the past 5-years. It definitely is range bound.

Are they missing estimates or something? I’m sure the pandemic hasn’t helped.

Cheers

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

For a TFSA that includes all sectors except for Consumer Cyclical (don't know how I let this happen!), what would be your top five Canadian picks in Consumer Cyclicals for 2022? Should all 6K go into one of them, or should two or three be purchased for diversification purposes?

Thanks in advance for your valued assistance, and the best of the season to everyone at 5i as well as your members. I've learned so much from all of you!

Q: Hi 5i,

From all three of the model portfolios, which consumer cyclical defensive stocks are under valued?

Tks.

Q: Just an added point to my question. I wish to have two growth stocks for the long term for the RESP
Thanks

Q: Could you suggest 2 safer Canadian stocks to go with QSR, GSY and SLF to add to my grandsons RESP for a long term hold. Dividend would be nice but not necessary.

I'm down 20% on QSR so would you sell at this time to add to the others?

Q: Can you comment on CJR.B's earning and its market reaction last Friday? Also please comment on QSR's earning.

Thank you very much for your outstanding service!

Q: Hello to the 5i team

Does the drop of about 10% over the last month represent an interesting entry point for this quality stock.

Q: Thoughts on the quarter please?

Thx

Q: Good Morning Peter & Team,

As follow up to Roberts question answered earlier today... why have PBH & QSR performed so antithetically? Is QSR trading at a discount?

Thanks for all you do

Q: I have a half position in PBH (it's done quite well since purchase) and I'd like to either add to PBH or gain additional sector exposure by bringing in QSR. Would you recommend one over the other?
