Investment Q&A

Q: Do you anticipate a divvy raise again this year in Sept. or will the company forgo a divvy raise with the large acquisition to digest? Every year in Sept there is a raise in the divvy even during the pandemic. What is the current payout ratio? Thx

Q: When do you expect well to be profitable.

Q: Hello Peter and 5i,

Have you been able to peg an entry price for XBC? It bounced off $2.76. Is shipping and delivery the biggest risk to becoming profitable in the next 1-2 years as systems are manufactured in China? If so is it your belief that the next quarter may be severely impacted and we should wait?


Cheers,

Q: Hello, I am up 1000% in DSG and have clearly held it for a long time. I believe in holding my winners, while watching portfolio weightings...It was blind luck rather than skill. Question, how is DSG going forward...any other lucky names especially in the tech sector . I am woefully incompetent here.

Q: It’s seems odd to me Topicus is listed in Vancouver.Do you see it moving to the Toronto exchange?

Q: Good Morning,

I would like your opinion on when GSY might be considered an addition to the Balanced portfolio? Is it a matter of sector weighting that would preclude its inclusion? It seems to be a perfect stock for the folio. Growth and a growing dividend.

Sorry for putting the team on the spot!

It’s horrible having made so many prescient selections that subscribers are reduced to questions like this one. Lol

Q: Hi there,
I have been enjoying the run up in TOI and have been thinking of adding to my quarter position. I have been adding along the way and have a dollar cost average of about 93 bucks a share. I am debating whether I should add here, raising the per share cost - but it seems like a parabolic jump in price. Alternatively, I wonder whether I should wait for a dip. And if I do so, what is a fair value to buy at? It seems like TOI may go the way of CSU or SHOP longer term and I do have a window of about 5-10 years. For what it is worth, I still regret not buying shop at about two hundred dollars because I thought it was overvalued.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.

Q: I keep watching GSY increasing and was looking for an entry position and it is currently around $191. I like the company and you can't argue with its performance over the index over the past 10 years. The EV/EBITDA is around 11.3 and Earnings Yield 7% but P/B is over 4 and P/CF is around 26 which is a bit high. Most of the analysts I've seen have it at an upper estimate of around $205 and Fair Value anywhere from $169 to $194. Still a good entry point and would you think that their historical performance would likely continue? Thanks for your input and just to say I find your site very informative and recommend it to others. Cheers.

Q: Both of these are up YTD quite a bit, what are your thoughts in beginning position at current levels, which is your preference, and rationale. TIA

Q: Greetings 5i,

The company's listed are TFSA holdings. The goal of the TFSA is moderately aggressive growth. Time frame is 4-8 years. Equities are purchased in equal weights and rebalanced based on weighting.

SLF and BNS are also held in other accounts, at an overall portfolio percent of ~5-6%. Which would you recommend adding to at this time? What do you consider the weakest from this list? Would you consider removing any from the TFSA holding only in either a non reg or reg account? If so, why? And which one, two or three additional growth oriented companies, either CAD or USD would you recommend.

Take as many credits as required.

Thank you for the excellent service.

Q: Hi Peter
If I want to find sunlife revenue breakup by Canada, US, developed and emerging countries, where do I find it? I couldn’t find in their investor presentation. Can you help point to this information please?

Q: Hi Guys,

I own all of the above (Bam.a 2.55%, Bepc 1.7% , Bep.un 2.2% ), I was thinking of selling either Bepc and Bep.un and purchasing more Bam.a.

Does this make any sense inside a balance portfolio.

thanks

Jim

Q: Hi guys,

I own BAM.A (2.5%), BEPC (1.80%) & BEP.UN (2.2%) inside a "balance ish" portfolio. Your thoughts on selling one of BEPC or BEP.UN and adding to BAM.A, making it a full position (5%).
Thanks
Jim

Q: I'm down about 34% on REAL in a registered account. I initially bought with a 5 year time frame in mind. What catalysts can you think of that might be a positive for the stock price? How likely are these to occur over the next year or two? With my time frame in mind, would you advise selling and moving on?

Q: Hi team!!

Any reason for TIXT jump?

Thx!!

Q: Hello 5i,
Today (Aug. 25) Ross Healy mentioned that GSY is rapidly approaching both a Fundamental and a Technical inflection point at somewhere around $205.00 +/-.
As a conservative, dividend -oriented investor, GSY is almost at a 5.50% Portfolio Weighting as per P/A. I would like to reduce to around 4.0% but was thinking of holding off until it reaches the 6.0% threshold which would mean holding out for around $225.00+/-. So, my question is: in your considered opinion should I just proceed and re-balance now, or try and hold out for 6.0%?
This is in my TFSA and there are no tax implications nor are there any compelling time-frame issues so waiting is not really an issue other than opportunity cost regarding the re-deployment of the proceeds.
Many thanks for any insight you can provide.
Cheers,
Mike

Q: You mentioned Topicus has a formal analyst other than you. Can you tell us what this analyst predicts for revenue and cash flow for 2021, 2022 and 2023?
