Investment Q&A

Q: What would you do with RX after recent results?
Thanks for helping during these difficult times.

Q: Will the massive stimulus packages being added by governments negatively affect market health over the long term and how will this affect bank stocks?

Q: In a recent question I asked how to proceed in investing the 30% cash I had during this period of volatility. 5 I recommended a slow procedure... I also mentioned that I had already taken a 4.6 % position in JPM and 5 I commented that a slower approach was recommended. It promptly dropped 10% after the question.... But with the current rally is now up 5% . So the question is do I sell half to get back in line with 5 I's slow approach through the volatility or let it ride ? { there are no tax consequences to selling as it is in a RRIF }

Q: Which company do you prefer in this environment - BYP.UN or HR.UN? Do any have a risk of a distribution cut or will it all work out more or less once the pandemic is under control?
Thanks for your service

Q: Morguard doesn’t seem to be taking part in this SnapBack rally. Do you see any reason for this? Good entry point for buy and hold?

Q: Hi Team! As more more and more people are working from home, cloud based software companies, cyber security companies will benefit as I think this will become a new reality as companies realize they can save money. In Internet communication and hardware companies out there that will see an increase of their services and products are there any names you would recommend? I thank you in advance. Sam

Q: In view of current conditions, in your opinion, is PBH a buy ,sell,or hold both a registered and an unregistered plan. Thank you,

Q: Thank you for your service, you guys do a great job! With the recent downturn in the markets, which stocks would be your top 3-5 buys for the next 3 years? Thanks.

Q: Is Chartwell a buy at its current price ? Thanks

Q: With the possible exception of MDT or ISRG, some of the US listed medical stocks remain down near their lows while other names have rallied hard. I am interested in the companies above and wonder if you can tell me if each would be a buy for you at current levels? Again each are down a lot, have favourable analyst ratings but haven't bounced much. Are there any on this list you DO NOT like?

Q: Which one of these, if any, would you sell to increase my tech sector allocation? Can you please rank them as well.
Alternatively, if they all have good long term potential, I have the flexibility to increase my equity allocation with additional cash. Please let me know you thoughts and thank you!

Q: Hello 5i, if you had to choose 10 companies out of the USA or Canada for a 5 year hold what would you choose?

There is no need for additional comments, the money isn’t needed in 5 years that’s just a timeframe that should hopefully allow for success vs the virus and recovery economically and adapting to the changed world ( going cashless, online shopping, deliveries, remote work etc) Risk is not an issue and neither is sector diversification. thank you !

Q: Hello 5i,
Could I have your thoughts on the above three companies in terms of outlook and dividend sustainability. Possibly rank them?
Thank you
Dave

Q: Hi guys,

Thanks for your valuable advice.

I am trying to process the wild swings going on and the lagging advice coming out through business news channels. With the new upswing in the markets, everyone is now proposing what we should have bought (and could still do). This is frustrating as it was good advice a week ago, and things will surely change again.

While we all understand that there is no crystal ball, what do you feel are likely scenarios for markets as investors process central bank and legislator market stimulants?
It appears that investment strategy is now heavily influenced by what has dropped, in combination with highly likely to be supported by government as critical assets.
If you could suggest any further insight in future direction or departures from recent strategy, and whether you feel that the government interventions are likely to hold us at a V shaped market curve, that would be helpful.

Thanks,

Peter

Q: Thoughts in MNS and MNT ?

Q: This is not a question.. just a positive note if I may. A friend of mine...a pharmacist who also practices preventative medicine and advice...feels strongly that the coronavirus will mostly have run its course by May. We must improve our immune systems as much as possible..stay home ..stay positive.....sleep..lots of water...and healthy foods..and fresh air of course. China has already started to re surface as we all know. Hopefully this lifts some spirits just a bit. Post if you wish.

Q: I have held a part position in Brag for some time now and thinking about adding to make a full position. Realizing its risk being a small cap, it seems to be expanding its business and revenues. What are your thoughts
