Investment Q&A

Q: Hi. I'm currently over weight in Consumer Defensives (BYD, PBH & PRWM) and under weight in Industrials (WSP, TFII, STN & SIS).
I'm thinking of selling PRMW and buying EIF. Based on future prospects do you think this trade makes sense. I intend to hold for a few years. Thanks!

Q: Would you prefer STN over WSP today?
Also would you prefer KXS over DSG?

Q: I have been very happy with my WSP investment now at 100% gain. Out of the 2 companies which one do expect to grow faster? And if I were to split my investment how much would you allocate for each?

Q: hi, can I get your best CDN and US ideas in the industrials and healthcare sectors right now, for long term investment. cheers, chris

Q: Hi Folks,

My RRSP portfolio consists of the above stocks all with relatively the same weighing. Can you suggest 5 names or so, (CDN and U.S) that I take a look at that would complement the above? I am looking for a company that would be a good buy today for both income and capital appreciation - total return.
Thanks

Q: Industrials 12% target allocation - what allocation do you advise? I have Full positions in WSP VRT and Partial Positions in ATS TFII HEI and AXON. Based on your advice, I would also like to have positions in URI HON TRI TIH HPS.A. Need to sort out what to own as Full and partial positions. Please rank for full and partial positions with entry prices for those not owned and what to drop from this list. I have a bias for serial acquierers along the lines of CSU.

Q: Hi, I own WSP and UCTT in my Industrials and I'd like more exposure to this sector. Could you recommend a few of your favorites for a 5 yr+ hold?

Thx

Q: I have some funds to invest and am considering the above stocks. Please indicate whether these stocks are better held in an unregistered, TFSA or RRSP account. Please rank these stocks on a 5 year hold. Thank you

Q: Hello,
My holding of Waste Connections has increased substantially in value. The stock price is slipping and there seem to be a number of concerns with debt and return on capital. Your detailed comments would be appreciated.

Are there some industrials with better future prospects? What industrials could WCN be replaced with and why would they be any better?

Thank you,
V

Q: I need to liquidate some equities to be able to pay out my RMD. I am inclined to sell the above 2 stock (NVEI and PBH), seeing only downward momentum compared to the other equities (above) I have that show steady or upward momentum. Might you agree?

Q: I’ve been thinking about consolidating these two industrials in my portfolio. Both have done well.
Which one would you keep for a five year hold. Thanks

Q: I already WSP at much lower valuation but if a person wanted a second choice in the space for diversity which of STN ATRL would you choose and why? Or is there another player you would prefer?

Q: I currently own both SIS and WSP and would like to add a third industrial stock. Which one from either the income or balanced portfolio would you purchase?

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

From this list of 9 stocks to own in a RRSP for 10+ years, how would you rank them in terms of starting a position today?

Thanks again for the great work that you do.

Q: I have held the above stocks in my open account for several years. All stocks have shown a positive return except for BNS which is down approximately 20%. I have some cash to invest in the market and would like to purchase additional shares in some of these companies for a 3 to 5 year investment. Please rate the potential growth of these companies and rank the companies based upon the projected growth over the next 3 to 5 years. Thank you

Q: I have .85 and .79 % holdings respectively in the above 2 companies. The dividend yields are paltry so I'm thinking of consolidating them . Which of the two do you see with better growth potential or could you recommend 3 or 4 others with better growth opportunities irrespective of sector allocation with a dividend and without a dividend. I already hold CSU, LMN, TOI, TFII, GLXY, HPS.A
Thank -you
Jeff

Q: Hydro Quebec announced today a massive spending plan: 16 billion year for the next 12 years. Which public Canadian companies stand to benefit from all that spending?

Q: This name is in both the 5i Income and BE portfolios at a 6% weighting yet yields under 1%, where no other stock in the Income portfolio comes close to. I understand it is the best performer in that portfolio and am wondering if it is there to 'juice up' the return on an otherwise mediocre performance. Could you confirm this rationale or explain the thinking, please.

Q: What are your thoughts on GDI? I've been holding in my TFSA for around 3 years and up 12%. They made a purchase last week which looks good. Its more or less been flat and slightly down for the last little while. I know you like it and still hold but I'm looking to high grade this stock for a better alternative if there is one.  Looking at total return 5+ yrs, what small/mid cap stocks would you rank above this one currently that I could swap with? Some names that come to mind are TVK (not held) and HPS.A (holding already).  So I would sell GDI and buy one of the others, which do you like currently that have greater growth potential? If any others in Cad or US, please offer your suggestions.

Also quick thoughts on NVEI (held in TFSA), time to cut it loose? Thanks!

Q: Hi,
I'm puzzled by the recent drop in price - is it something of a concern? Any thoughts or news you might have would be appreciated.
Thanks for all you hard work!
