Investment Q&A

Q: Which one of these 4 companies would you buy today
for growth and long term hold? (disregarding sector)
In which order would you rank them?
Thank you.

Q: I have half positions in CCL.B, ZCL, GSY,ECI and PHO; full positions in SIS,KXS,SHOP,PBH and GUD. Growth from 'good' companies is my only consideration and I have a 10 year timeline. These companies are part of the growth portion of a balanced portfolio.
Please provide guidance on the following 2 questions:
Could you rank my half position companies with growth potential as the sole criterion.
Is it reasonable to increase one's stake beyond a full position in any company that has excellent future prospects? If yes, please rank my full position companies based on growth potential.
Thanks for your excellent service, as always!

Q: I am thinking about selling my AQN shares and buying CCL shares for a couple of reasons, more growth and to get into the stock pre-split. Do you think this move is okay?

Q: Do you have a date when CCL.B will trade on a split basis. Five for One. Thanks Bob

Q: Hello;
I have full position of ZCL. I would like to take full positions in CCL.B and RPI.UN for 2 to 3 year horizon.

However, all of the above are in packaging industry. Is it advisable to put so much in one industry? Thanks.

Q: In a reply to Tom (April 10) re CCL.B you said that the company's "growth does not look good". Please explain and expand on this comment.

Thanks, Tim.

Q: Currently have no materials stocks. In the recent past I have owned cco, teck.b and hbm but as short term holds on weakness/momentum. Looking to add a longterm hold in materials but I am having trouble falling in love with SJ mainly due to the past 12 month stock, relatively low div of 1% and the general high for the sector PE of 18. CCL isn't a classic "materials" stock although I like the look of the price movement.

Can you make your case for me to jump on the SJ and CCL 5i bandwagon and/or suggest a few other options.

Working on matching the balanced equity portfolio.

Q: As a pure growth play could you please rank the following companies - NFI,CCL, ZCL.

Q: Hi there..
I currently own CCL.B as well as WPK. I am curious as to why you classify them as basic materials. It seems my bank has a different opinion. When I hit the analyze button on my investments through my direct investment site.. it says I am currently only invested 1.1% in basic materials... but when I classify the above stocks as basic materials I am weighted just fine.... thoughts? Are there any other basic materials you would recommend?

Thanks
Sue

Q: Good morning 5i Team,

I'm interested to buy a position in CCL B. Please advise if the stock will continue to grow in the next few years. Is it better to buy before the split or after the split in May this year? Is it better to buy the A or B shares? I note the PE is high! What is your opinion on management, ,divident growth, momentum and valuation?

Thank you!
Rossana.

Q: I already have ENGH, KBL, TCN, AW.UN, CCL.B, CXI and HAC in my TFSA together with about 40% bonds. Can you suggest any of the Canadian stocks you cover which would be most suitable to add here? I guess for a TFSA capital appreciation is paramount.

Q: I want to buy CLL.b but wonder if buying it now, 50 shares,then ending up with 250 after the split, is wise, or should I wait until after the split and buy 250.
Thank you,
Helen

Q: Why the sudden DROP? Many Thanks!

Q: I have enough funds for one of the above.Which one would you choose and why? Many thanks .Anne

Q: Hi Team at 5i!!!! CCL has announced a 5:1 stock split. Is it a good time to add to the stock now? It is at a high . Thank you for all you do!!!! Cheers, Tamara

Q: My Consumer-Cyclical sector is 6% too high and Technology sector is 2% too low.

So need to sell one of (AW.UN, BPF.UN, BYD.UN, CCL.B, CGX, ECI), each with ~ 2% position. Hard to sell any of these tried-true 'favourites' -but trying to take the emotional side out of the decision, and be disciplined. So, I think I should sell CGX because it has been flat for 2 years and I don't expect much upside. Can you provide your an order of selling preference?

And I need to add to these existing Technology Sector holdings (CSU, ENGH, KXS, MDA, PUR, SHOP). Thinking (OTEX, ITC) or more of existing ones.

57 year-old with a Growth & Sector & Dividend oriented portfolio.

As always, thank you for your wise guidance.

CSU, CCL, MDA, ECI, ENGH, BYD, OTEX, SHOP, AW, BPF, PUR, ITC

Q: Comments on just released CCL.B earnings please.

thank you

Q: Hi,

I see on your coverage summary that you have CCL listed as basic materials, however TSX lists it as consumer cyclical. Can you confirm which category it falls into? Could it be somewhat industrial as well?

Thanks!

Q: Hi, can you please provide the street estimates for Q4, 2016 for Revenue, Adj. EPS and EBITDA. Thanks
