Q: I sold my SMCI around mid June and put the proceeds into the above stocks. Overall I'm pleased with their performance and am now thinking of holding same over the longer term 2-3 years rather than a momentum play. Do you see any glaring red flags going forward other than wars, election fallout and a possible recession that one should consider with these stocks. By the way thanks for your recommendation of VERT. Regards david

Q: I own both as well as stocks like Bip, Bepc, …. I want to own more of BMA and/or BN.
should I own 1 or both? And if 1 why? And if 2 why as well.

Part of my objective here is buy stocks whose size and diversity adds a degree of safety both short term and longer term. Hopefully that is doable here.

Thanks for your help.,

Q: Hello 5i,

Thank you for answering my question yesterday. We are looking at replacing CELH (-50%), CTRA (-3%), and NXT (-23%) in a TFSA or RRSP. From our question yesterday we would replace these stocks with CECO, ASPN, & AVAV (TMDX was purchased yesterday. Is your conviction higher on CELH over CECO, ASPN, & AVAV, or ISRG?

Thank you
D&J

Q: Following up on all the other TD questions today on the US penalties....do you think the future looks more like Wells Fargo when their growth was curbed (and it proceeded to lag for many years)? Or would you be a buyer now based on the recent underperformance and the known outcome (penalties). Bottom line...buy/sell/hold?

Q: Good morning,

Thoughts on TD from here? I had read earlier reports prior to this week’s drop that there was essentially no value being ascribed to the US retail bank. With the asset cap, what is forward PE and revised target price? I would like to think that even with no growth in the US retail bank, there clearly is some value there, and management will ultimately determine other, more strategic, ways to deploy capital that hopefully will be accretive to the stock price.

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i, I'd like to bring my position in TD to a full weight, and was wondering what your crystal ball shows as a floor. I'm thinking the weak hands will wash themselves of their holdings soon.

Looking at their 10 year CAGR [divi+growth] of approx 10%, a stock yielding 5% with a
5yr DGR of approx 8%, what could go wrong?

Thx

Q: Repeating a question from Dec 2021 from Mike. At the time he asked: I would like to gain some more exposure into areas outside of Canada and the US, specifically China and India. I think ETF is the way to go. Would you suggest a couple? Any concerns with these areas currently? Would you suggest denominated in C$, US$ or any other currency for diversification?

What would your answer be today ?

Thank you.
