Q: Hi Team,
I'm looking to add few names to my growth fund. I already own many of your suggestions. How do you feel about DSG, BDT, CJT and CAE? From a growth perspective for 2 to 3 years, do you like them? Would you invest here? How would you rank them?
Thanks,
Dennis

Q: In the true spirit of the holidays I would appreciate your opinion on the three wine/spirit companies that have done very well over the last year. What is your top pick? Or should I just buy smaller holdings of each?

Q: I am considering buying ENF. I know 5I prefers ENB but my reasoning is that...
1} ENF has a higher dividend and is committed to the same 10% annual increase
2} Though ENF has shown related volatility it hasn't been as extreme as ENB
3} ENF is well off it's highs and offers a 7% yield while I wait. So I don't really see it as solely income.
My questions are
1} How if any does the debt of ENB which seems to have investors spooked effect ENF and does ENF have debt investors may or should be concerned with ?
2} ENF is issuing shares. Why should I pay a premium now rather than waiting til the shares hit the market and buying after investors digest the dilution ?
Thanks Garth

Q: Hi 5i,

I have been a long term holder of KEY. I hold it for longer term cap gain (not big gain, but gain), and dividend.

I am still in positive territory, but I am concerned about the decline in price from $45 down to $35. $35 appears to be a multi year technical (chart) floor.

I have read all your recent answers to the questions on KEY. I would summerize as a lower risk longer term revenue stream play.

Should I be concerned about it breaking through the $35 floor ? Is there something else I should be aware of ? Would you recommend changing to another equite in the same sector (please deduct as many questions as you see fit).

Love your service !!!!!!

Q: I currently hold the above etf's, which totals 25% of portfolio. Equities held are US and Canadian and am invested in all sectors with financials@17%,Tech 10% and Utilities 8%. Remaining 40% equally allocated to the other sectors. Am looking at reducing ETF's and would appreciate your thoughts on which ones are good holds and which could be sold due to over diversification! Thanks for your valuable input!

Q: Hi 5i,
I’m continuing to hold some Callidus (CBL) shares reasonably patiently. But I’d be interested in any further thoughts on the insider activity on CBL over the past few months. The INK report shows predominantly two buyers: Braslyn Ltd and Callidus itself. (You noted previously that Lewis controls Braslyn) The shares repurchased by Callidus are consistently cancelled at the end of each month. The Braslyn purchases are small lots (a few as big as 10-15,000 but smaller most recently), certainly relative to the size of Braslyn’s total holding (over 7.1M shares). Small lots obviously won’t move the price significantly on a given day. But is this buying too incremental to be significant or might something be going on? Obviously if there is to be a go-private takeover at a premium, continuing to accumulate near $10 might work out well for Braslyn. But is it likely that Braslyn is angling to orchestrate a takeover itself? The trading share float seems relatively small on this already (around $100M and less than 20% of the market cap). I don’t know if I have seen a situation quite like this one before. It seems like if the float erodes enough the current insiders could just have it go private by agreement. Thanks.

Q: Could you please comment on earnings. There was about a 4% drop to the share price before the release?? I hold this in my income portfolio and have never had to worry about this company. 2017 looks like there wasn't much growth but does 2018 look better? Would you continue to hold this?
Thanks as always for your advice.
