Investment Q&A

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

Q: I've been trying to find a Canadian based ETF that includes Canadian "growth companies" to no avail. There's a small cap one (XCS I believe) with volume that is too low for me and isn't really growth oriented in any event. Are you aware of anything that is similar in structure to your own growth portfolio (ignoring mutual funds which are way too greedy fee wise for my liking)?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

In order to keep the real estate sector balance more or less the same, would you endorse a sale of TCN to use the proceeds to purchase more DIR.UN (which we already hold in this investment account) ? TCN has been a frustrating stock, but I believe that DIR.UN has more upside. Alternatively, are there other stocks in the same sector that you would suggest instead of DIR.UN?

Thanks as always for the pertinent guidance.

Q: Good morning 5i team, MKSI seems well positioned to participate in our world of Internet of Things, AI and miniaturization, with chips in high demand. The Atotech acquisition added significant debt just as rates started rising. MKSI has disappointed and is down significantly. Geopolitics and a cyber attack don't help. I would appreciate your assessment of management and the company's prospects. Would you recommend selling it to generate a tax loss? Thank you. Edward

Q: I bought CSU way back at $400 or so and (despite your advice), hate the idea of selling any more of a stock that seems to do so well month after month. At some point however, I need to reduce CSU again, and am wondering about putting some into LMN which you like as well. I have very small positions in both TOI and LMN, but so far neither has done much in comparison to CSU.

My question is, if CSU has "an event" that drags it down really badly, will the sister companies also get tarred with the same brush? Would I be better looking at something completely different like HPS.A?

Thanks for your advice - I have done well by it!
