Q: Hi 5i team,
My nephew turned 18 last year and has now 11K in his TFSA ready to invest.
What would be your suggestion (s). It can be a mix of CDN and USD stocks/ETFs.
Obviously, it would be several years before needing any of the money so some risk can be taken.
Thanks

Q: Hi to all 5I research thanks for the great work. My question is on CWX.to . Last quarter of 2019 they reported 04 cents and I was looking at a recent analyst report from Thomson R and they are calling for a 19 cent for q4 2020 up from 90 days ago of 13 cent and 6 strong buys and one buy. Own the stock for 5 years now and ask this question every march for the past 4 years. I like this sector because it is a renewable product and always in demand thanks to climate change. Is this earnings report match yours? They also call for a 8.80 stock price average do you agree with this number? Thanks again.

Q: The earning for the year look decent. Too bad they give little public guidance but my understanding is that business has picked up and they project double digit growth over the next few years. Based on that scanty information do you think the stock is undervalued? I like the 3.70% divy while I wait for the company to be discovered.

Q: Please feel free to disregard this question if it is outside the scope of this fantastic service.

High growth tech stocks such as Unity, trading at a high multiple of future sales, have been pummeled due to a rise in the yield on ten year treasuries. Future earnings will be worth less, so this makes sense. I understand this relationship directionally but not quantitatively. I would like to understand the relationship better in a quantitative way, a sensitivity analysis if you will. Can you offer insight into how a 1, 2 or 3% increase in ten year rates effects the value of future earnings? And in turn what is an appropriate adjustment in stock price for a stock trading at 10, 25 or 50 times future sales?

Thanks.

Q: In Peter's editorial in the February Moneysaver, he re-iterated the importance of diversification across the 11 main sectors. I found I am short in 3: tech, healthcare and communications. I am on the verge of retirement and have an income slant but realize some growth is also needed throughout my investing lifetime. Could you give me one growth and one income recommendation for each of those 3 sectors? (A company which pays a small dividend but has a history of raising it consistently would be ideal in the growth recommendation.)

Thanks,
SCOTT
