Investment Q&A

Q: Do you consider Constellation Software to act like a “tech stock” if interest rates rise, ie. would it have much of a valuation contraction compared to other tech? It seems to have a different business model than most tech companies, and I am wondering if it is safer in a sense.

Q: Is FSZ buyable here? Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: I understand Converge acquired many companies to allow for wide geographical coverage and raised money a few times already. What's expected to be their main driver for revenue growth in the next few years (they seem to have a wide range or products)? Also, can you comment on institutional backing they have. Would you consider the company medium or high risk. I am just trying to manage my exposure appropriately. Thanks!

Q: Can you comment on the aquisition .

Thank you

Q: These companies are getting killed on no news. I understand the environment with tax loss, covid, backdrop etc. What I don't understand is why the shorts aren't covering or appear to be. Also are these companies prime candidate's for a takeover because there smaller but at an inception point of eating up market share.

Q: I have just read your report on KXS with the rating maintained at B+. Just wondering what it would take to raise the rating to A?
I like the company but don't own it. If you looked into your crystal ball do you think the current world-wide supply chain problems will give the company's revenue a long term boost or is it more likely all the supply chain issues will be more or less fixed in the next 6 months causing revenue to falter by 3rd quarter 2022 (...and the stock to tank)? Another way of saying the same thing (but shorter)...is 15x sales too high!
Any comments would be appreciated.

Q: Can you suggest companies right now to pick away at ,or would you wait a bit longer till tax loss season is over.
please 5 in the US and 5 in Canada.
If dividend is important which 3 stocks would you pick away at right now?

Q: In my cash non registered account I bought LSPD shares at $115.00 they have since dropped in half. Do you think I should sell for a tax loss? What date do I have to sell to claim the loss? Do you still see LSPD as a growth company and see the share price doubling in the next 4 years? Thank you

Q: In your answer to Rob today you state 'we don't think the company has really done anything 'wrong'.'

You've looked closely at the report and earnings now. What do you 'really' think the company did? Please speculate on what you feel went wrong. If the short report wasn't completely false, what did it maybe get right? Were mistakes made through omission? Were they simply growing too fast or playing a little fast and loose with the rules? No doubt there is a trade here but is this a company and management that you still have the same long term respect and confidence in as 6 months ago?

A past short report on SHOP has been mentioned on several occasions as a comparison. Did the management at SHOP make similar mistakes, if any, and is this par for the course? Or is this situation with LSPD different?


thanks, Mark

Q: Which one is / are your favorite (s) to add at this time and please explain briefly why. Long term investment. Thanks!

Q: do you like this company. insiders own 21% not very liquid but an analyst upgraded it with a 162. price target-sounds ridiculous, but its selling at 5 times sales compared to kinaxis 10 times sales-same business saas.
sounds like this should be in the growth portfolio.

Q: Hi there, I've held FFH for a number of years in my unregistered account. I'm down 6%. This morning TD notified me of a corporate action which I don't understand. Can you explain what it means? I'm a growth oriented investor anyway and wonder if I should just sell and move on.( I already own the big 6 banks plus IFC and SLF.)

Thanks,
Andrea

Q: Thoughts on the quarter??

Q: Everyone,
If one was to start buying LSPD when would you start. I don’t sell or buy very often because I am a long term holder but I am interested in adding to my position. I would look at a minimum of three up days in a row with above average or heavy trading volumes with a minimum of 15% gain in those days. Fundamentally nothing has changed in the last few months except the price people are willing to pay for growth. What are your thoughts.

Q: Hi 5i Team - Once again thanks for your calm and to-the-point advice on guiding us through another volatile market situation. This is yet another question on Lightspeed. There are four parts: What is its cash position, does it have debt and if so is it manageable, what are the insider holdings/ has there been any recent buying or selling, does it have a solid management team that can guide it through this turmoil. Thanks.

Q: Toi closed the end of oct at $138. To day it was as low as $98 before recovering slightly.
Do you think Csu and Toi insiders are selling Toi shares to provide funds to the new venture capital fund?
Does Toi have their own acquisition team or do they rely on Csu?
Is Toi restricted to only Europe ?
Would they have enough cash flow to finance an acquisition or will they have to borrow or issue shares?
Finally if one planned to invest $30,000. today in Csu and Toi for at least a a 5 year hold,how should one proportion it?

Q: First Call Consensus has upgraded XBC from Hold to Buy. would this be a signal to average down if one was so inclined?

Q: Good Morning Peter & Team,

There's been some discussion on 5i re CJT. Demand is up but labor & fuel inflation is causing costs to go up as well. Today it's approaching a 16 month low at $164. Never want to try and catch a falling knife however, price target is $250. Is this a good pick with on-line/Amazon shopping volume continuing to show signs of increasing? Or do you have an alternative which might be a better choice to take advantage of this trend? Besides AMZN ofcourse which I already have.

Thanks for all you do

Q: Oh BYD! BYD has been beaten up a bit lately. Are you still believer or is the pretty good run over...
