Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I realize you do not cover US stocks but to the best of your knowledge, how similar would you consider Unilselect to be to Genuine Parts? I'd prefer to buy Canadian in this case.

I think Amazon could be a bit of a threat to these companies, but I would also think there would be enough loyalty from auto service shops (mainly because of immediate parts delivery) to maintain most of their ground. Would you agree?

Thanks .

Q: How is Loblaws performing compared to its peers? And what percentage of Loblaws sales/profits come from the Shoppers division? I have held Loblaws for a few years and while not happy with its performance, at least as it pertains to its share price, I hang on for portfolio reasons. However, I would have thought that Shoppers would enable Loblaws to outperform its sector, especially given the most recent results where Shoppers same-store sales were up over 3%.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi 5i Team

I’m using the 5i model portfolios for the 35% portion of my overall portfolio allocated to Canadian Equites. I’ve been investing in companies from both, the balanced and income portfolios, mostly because I’m having a hard time choosing which model portfolio is right for me. I like the dividends and income provided by one but also like the growth potential the balanced portfolio provides. I’m 50 years old and plan to retire in the next 3-5 years and would like to know if there is any criteria or guidance on what model portfolio to choose?

Thank you

Q: Not sure what is happening but my last 2 questions have been marked private although this was not my intention. The first time (BUS question) I don’t think I hit the private button but the last question (BLN&RHT) I definitely didn’t choose private. Can you make this last question public (I have 2 friends who are also 5i members who want to see the response). Also have you any thoughts as to what is happening with my questions - composed on an ipad air and this didn’t happen on the old site. (It’s possibly a coincidence or clumsy fingers but I’d appreciate you looking into this). Btw, this is definitely sent as a public question for test purposes. Thanks
