Investment Q&A

Q: I am investigating buying AC playing the “ back to normal “ theme. While it’s generally agreed that the number of customers will bounce back, and possibly even exceeding previous numbers , I am trying to determine the profile of these travellers ; will business bounce as much as vacationers , what will be the favourite travel destinations, how long will it take to play out etc. ? Do you know of any links that have done an in-depth investigation into the airline industry or AC in particular? Thanks. Derek

Q: I would love to buy Booking or Live Nation but I cant pay more than they were trading at a year ago. There is still too much uncertainty. Are there any names that haven't fully recovered (and then some) that look interesting to you at this point? Thanks

Q: Hi 5i gang,

What are your current favorites for the reopening trade? I know this is not a new theme, just looking for stocks that are still are reasonably priced.

Thx

Q: Aside from AC, what are 5 top of list "recovery stocks" ?

Q: In less then a month I am up 50% on Twitter. As a result Twitter is now 5% of my portfolio. Similar story with AT.TO, up 90% and just over 5% of the portfolio. I am thinking of trimming Twitter (25%)and significantly trimming AT (50%) before q results. Money to be used for ICHR, what weighing would you start with or is it better to go with SOXX at 5%? I believe I need a position in this sector given current/future demand.

Don't you think AC stock is getting ahead of the reality and air canada path back to business will not be as smooth as the stock is indicating? Or are the investors looking 2 years ahead and are willing to discount any turbulence? Is that the strategy here?

Q: I have been fortunate to have made 300 per cent with Go Easy, is it time to trim and buy into Air Canada or WYNN with the potential rebound or simply run with GSY? Thanks
PS I’d have never known about GSY if it weren’t for your stellar recommendation and advice.

Q: I would like to start a position in 2-3 companies that should have a nice boost as the travel industry resumes. It could be US or Canada. Can you suggest 4-5 to look at please?
Also, is there an etf that would embody my theme and would benefit as the industry comes back?
Thanks as always for your great advice.

Q: If you had the choice between these 2 companies over a 2 year period which one do you think would perform better. Thanks.

Q: I hold Air Canada stock and purchased it at 49.55 back in 2019. Not sure if it will ever return as its been almost of a year and is just laying there.
It represents .75% of my portfolio.
What is some advice you could give me.

Thank you,
John G.

Q: AC or XBC: Which company has the best growth, long term and give some details on your preference, please. Risk is not a factor.
Thanks for your service

Q: There is a lot of talk about a shift to value stocks. What is and how do I identify a value stock and can you give some examples of current opportunities in your portfolios and generally please?

Q: Thanks for the great service. I feel like I have become too heavy on tech and healthcare and not well-diversified globally. Can you suggest some small and large caps that you would buy today?

Q: I have been dithering about buying AC in my TFSA for some time now and would appreciate your read on the stock, primarily from a political aspect. Seems the federal government is not in love with the sector as it continues refusing to pay out cancellation money. However the government recognizes the critical national role it plays and AC’s historical relationship to government national transportation policy. Then there is the government’s push to severely contain international travel. So many moving parts. I get a sense that it is too early to buy and best to get more clarity forsaking the initial pop the stock would take on good news. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Derek

Q: Hi 5i,

First of all, thanks for your advise to help me understand more for the US & Canadian stock markets. I have a feeling that the US market will end the over 10 years bull market soon and bear market will come in. Due to the issue of GME, BB, NOK, and AMC showing many "NEW" investors involve the US and Canadian market (because of the BB), specially the Reddit social media investor forums is not healthy. I guess the Canadian market may also affected, due to the BB issue. Just in case the bear market will come, what the above stocks need to be sold to play safe. I am thinking to sell KXS, LSPD, and NVEI, those stock prices may not be survival during the big drop in coming. Do you have the same feeling that the bear market will come? Can you please rank the above stocks able to survival during the bear market and please suggest to take off any just in case the worst worst things really happen.

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan and Team,

As a post-covid play, would you have more confidence in Air Canada or Aritzia for a two-year horizon?

Thank you.

Brad

Q: My portfolio doesn't have any coverage in the transportation sector. What stocks/etf's would you recommend in this area.

Rick

Q: First of all, thank you for your amazing work. Cannot express how helpful my 5i subscription has been. Life-changing in all honesty.

My positions in LSPD (17.3%) and GSY (12.7%) have gotten a little out of hand. I was fortunate to pick them up near their lows in April. I've already trimmed both a couple of times, but I am really struggling to sell more given the positive outlook 5i has of both for the future. I've seen similar questions asked about trimming and selling positions with phenomenal growth and seen your responses suggesting to trim positions to reasonable weightings. I thought I might have an easier time doing so if you suggested some positions to add to or some new ones viewed as favourably as LSPD and GSY.

I have the following companies in a TFSA and have included the weightings only of positions I think might warrant a second look. While I anticipate a comment about weightings needing to be personal what would YOU suggest as the highest weighting for LSPD and GSY? And, again, please suggest some positions to add to or new ones.

Feel free to take question credits as you see fit.

Thank you again

Q: BAM.A is now trading at $49+ , has the stock recovered to the pre-pandemic levels OR do you think that it still has upside.

Also at this point, would airline stocks be better or the cruise lines, which has more upside ?

My strategy is to buy airline/cruise stocks now....sell in 1-3 years and then move that money to something like BAM.... what do you think of this?

Thanks

Q: Hi, my respected 5i team
Could you please recommend some solid names(US and Canadian markets) focusing on post-Covid theme play? I would like to take advantage of the price decline due to the pandemic lock down, some solid names that will be the survivors.

Thanks in advance!

Q: Good Day,
Just wondering what your thought were on buying Air Canada shares at this time?
