Investment Q&A

Q: In a recent question on conviction for a 3-5 year hold in the 5i model portfolios you recently ranked these 3 financials lowest. Do you see problems on the horizon that would limit your enthusiasm for ranking them higher?

Q: Do you predict much growth for EQB in the next year or two? Would you lump GSY into the same growth projectory? Would you expect PRL to provide better long-term growth than either of these?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi 5i,
In registered accounts I hold these financials: POW, BNS, CM, EQB, PRL; these tech: TXF.B, HTA and the industrial MDA. I've held them for a long time and I'm pleased with all of them.
However, given Trump may be serious about decimating the Canadian economy (witness latest threatened increase in steel and aluminum tariffs) and likely can do a lot of damage even if he doesn't completely succeed, I'm considering cashing in holdings in Canadian names and replacing with US names through purchasing CDR's (I don't have a US account and don't plan on opening one). A few of questions arise:
1. Do you think my reasoning makes sense, or would it be an over-reaction to make the move regarding all or some of my above holdings?
2. If the move is worth considering, can you suggest CDR alternatives for any of the above names you think should be replaced?
3. If I do replace any of the above CDN names with equivalent or nearly so CDR's, what can I expect regarding dividend income compared to that from the CDN holdings (all of which - except MDA - are currently yielding based high, based on long ago purchase prices)?
Please deduct as you see fit.
Thanks 5i,
Peter

Q: Which names in the Growth and Balanced portfolios respectively do feel best about currently for a 3-5 year hold? Any related sector comments?

With thanks.

Q: Of which listed names would you be most inclined to start a new position; for growth in TFSA accounts (granted some size difference)?

Q: How would you rate buying these growth stocks today for a 3 -year hold?

Amzn, goog, VHI, PRL, CLS , HPS.a , GLXY, VHI, FOUR, ROAD , CRM, CLBT

Q: Hi,
Having read a lot of Q&A s on both these stocks, I know you still support a Hold position and bit cautious because of tariffs drama but not too worried about the management or long term prospects of either company.

My question is this. I have GSY and understandably now I am down. I was up a while back before it trended down. However I did take the profit in PRL! (Lucky me!)

Should one sell some of GSY and buy with that money a position in PRL now? To hedge one's bet in that risky lending domain? Or add to GSY gradually and wait? If I am right in interpreting your answers, you think PRL has more potential for faster growth and rebound than GSY. Hence I am contemplating on such a move.

Many thanks in advance.

Q: I'm in need of cash. Please place these companies in order of which you would sell first. Thanks.

Q: What are your top suggestions for the best positioned Canadian and US dividend paying stocks where dividend is safe and where the stocks have some potential for growth? Thank you.

Q: Greetings 5i, which of these would you add to today? Please provide reasons and if neither please indicate. This is a TFSA. Thanks.

Q: I'm writing to follow up on your response to Josh's questions regarding beaten-down Canadian stocks.

Would you kindly rank your preferred order of purchases among the names discussed? Are there any that you would consider "table-pounding" buys at current levels?

Please also include your thoughts on CNQ, as well as FOUR, ROAD, and CLBT.

Thank you,

Q: Have there been any recent upgrades or downgrades on this company in the last 60 days

Q: First…. Thanks for getting me into this stock. I am currently looking to add to it at around $33. On my Direct Investing site PRL is considered to be undervalued with a FAIR VALUE of $222. Would you please clarify what this means. I gather it is based on earnings growth. But does this mean $222 TODAY? Or $222 in the future for example 1 year,3 years, 5 years? Thanks.

Q: Hi there, I currently have half a position in PRL. Would you suggest topping it up to a full position at today's price? Thanks!

Q: G ood Morning

If you were to gaze into your crystal ball could you see GSY and PRL joining forces to have one strong company?

Thks Marcel

Q: Could you please comments on the results and dividend raise.

Do you think, this earnings report is good enough to remove the recent overhang on the stock ?

Q: Hi guys....great service....just wondering if you have 2-3 names on both sides of the border...undervalued and you think are great opportunities for bounceback over the next 6-12 months...
