Q: With the likelihood of a vaccine in the relative near term there will be a rotation out of a number of tech stocks. Based on this thesis I consider the following stocks which I own to be good candidates. BYD,PKI,TFII,WSP & EIF. Do you agree and if so could you list a few other candidates that would be a good fit. Thank you.

Q: What's up with WSP? It held up quite well since March but after
issuing some financing a little while ago it slipped back and seems to be languishing, even during the run up prior to Thursday. What was the financing for? Was it a prudent time to do that? There had been some mention of a merger with a US entity; was the financing related to that and is that going ahead? And last, where do you see this equity going from here. Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Today (rightly or wrongly), I used the large uptick in the share price of CAE to sell my position that's held in my TFSA. (I sold with a gain of 4%, not counting the previous dividends.) I feel that the "airline" sector will still be under pressure after the present euphoria settles down, but who knows?

Having said that, please suggest two or three stocks or ETFs from each of the following sectors that could be considered somewhat defensive as well as being suitable for a TFSA. Portfolio Analytics indicates that I'm underweight in:
Basic Materials
Communication Services
Consumer Defensive
Energy
Financial Services
Healthcare
Industrials

Please deduct as many credits as you deem necessary. Thanks for the continuing superb service especially during this unusual time.

Q: Hi, Over past 2 weeks markets have seen a rotation from Technology sector and the Stay Home stocks ( like Netflix, Shopify, Alphabet and others) into Cyclical sectors (Banks and Industrials). Airlines, Cruiselines and Gaming/Entertainment ( like WYN etc ) stocks have also shot up recently. This sector rotation seems to be based on belief that with economy reopening ( and Federal Reserve with an endless supply of money/support), recovery may be much faster and stronger.

With this noticeable shift in market positioning, we would like to participate and hope to benefit in near as well long term. We have 15% weight in Canadian Banks. But among Industrials, only companies owned by us are CNR, RPI.un and BYD. We also started a small position in AC and Boeing, on Friday, with intentions to build over time.
We are looking for companies in this sector with strong fundamentals which are trading at a discount to their historical levels, for COVID related factors and depressed market sentiment. Could you please recommend a few names in Canada and US. Thank You

Q: According to the 5i portfolio analyzer, I am underweight consumer defensive and industrials - can you provide your top 6 recommended buys for each sector. Ideally 3 in the US and 3 in Canada for each sector. (ranked on most attractive price entry today) Thanks.

Q: I assume the weakness today is related to the stock offering and any other comments please. Thx

Q: Hello,

My partner and I heard about 5i from a friend whose been using you for many years. You came with the highest recommendation.

I feel like I should be copying one of your portfolios, especially due to my lack of knowledge, but it is very important for me that my investments to follow my ethics.

I would like to know which companies on your balanced and growth portfolios would be highest on positive environmental, social and corporate governance, which are low and should be switched and for which companies. I'm happy to do research, but I'm struggling to navigate the important statistics and feeling incompetent in finding good resources. I have seen your ESG scores (https://www.5iresearch.ca/blog/ESG-tsx-companies) and would be keen to know where to find information on how they are created. I would also appreciate other resources that you think would assist in building a portfolio, or simply which companies you would put on it.

Thank-you,

Q: Does you portfolio allocation as referred to country investment recognize that some companies despite designated as domestic (Canadian) have and derive significant income from abroad ?
Therefore these are more diversified by the location as it appears in the Portfolio Analytics summaries.Basically the summary understates the total portfolio diversification by the country .I give the two above companies as an example but there are more companies to which this would apply.

Q: Hi. I have the above stocks in my TFSA and have some cash to deploy. Could you please give me 3 suggestions and rank them. Thanks.
