Investment Q&A

Q: Since it's the end of a year, I will ask this question about stock picks for 2022. Hypothetically, you are in a stock picking contest to pick 10 Canadian stocks for 2022. Best total return for the year including dividends is the winner. Mr. X is your opponent. Since you are the pro, Mr. X gets to pick first. He has picked ATD, AEM, BAM.A, CNR, CSU, DOL, NTR, SHOP, SLF, SU as his group. You can't choose any of those. Which 10 Canadian stocks are you going to pick?

Q: Season's Greetings 5i team,
We will be making a 6k contribution to each of our TFSAs in the New Year. The two accounts hold the following securities:

TFSA1: ATA, DSG, WELL and TOI
TFSA2: ATZ, BAM.A, DOO, NVEI and TOI

In what order might you invest the $ in the securities in each of the two accounts? (Given the relative size of this investment, overall diversification (across all accounts), size of holdings and industry allocation will not be affected).

Thank you for your dedication and all of the great work you do for us DIY investors. Merry Christmas and HNY!
Steve

Q: I am considering add more bank stocks and here's what I got based on their P/E:

TD:12.36x
RY:11.99x
BMO:11.69x
BNS:11.50x
CM:10.57x
NA: 10.79x

I have 150K cash available. Would you agree to add National Bank, CIBC and Bank of Novia Scotia equally since these 3 have the cheapest valuation?

Thanks,

Q: Happy Holidays to everyone. I called my broker (cibc) to ask about the ECN dividend and ROC . They just called back to say it won't be paid until Dec 24 and will not be reflected in my account until Dec. 29. This is not what I hoped for, but perhaps the answer is helpful to others looking for this cash

Q: Hello again and thanks for your insights on AGNC, I think I will set that one aside for now. Searching the Q&A I have assembled this list of 4 companies for diversified exposure to residential and industrial real estate in Canada and the US (a bit of global with Prologis is appealing). In your opinion does this group provide complementary exposure? Can you suggest an addition to this list or is there one that you would remove?

Q: Hello Peter,
IEP looks like a holding company operating various businesses. It has a peak of over $100 in 2004 and 2014, and now it is half of that value. The dividend is high at 16 percent. Is that something to worry about? Also, if i am to invest in this stock, is it better in an RRSP as outside RRSP or TFSA I may have to deal with tax forms as it is an LP in the US? Thanks very much.

Q: I am interested in investing part of my TFSA in cyber security US/Canada stocks/ETFs.
Are Cyber Security ETF (CYBR-T) and Evolve Cyber Security ETF (CAD Hedged) good buy? Are CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) and Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) good buy at their current price levels and are they high risk/high valuation, strong growth stocks?
Please provide the preference of your choices of three cyber security stocks and three ETFs and rank them, and brief reasons why you choose those stocks/ETFs. Thank you.
