Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i
Looking at buying one or the other or maybe both.
Your thoughts please.
Thx Gerry

Q: In a recent answer to Ed you recommended this company as one of the top Canadian REITS that hold US properties ("Tricon (TCN) would be the top of the list." ). However, when I took a look, it is today $12.86, and 5 years ago was 12.00 so not much capital appreciation. The distribution is only 2.2%. It has been the same ($.07) for 5 years, and was one cent less ($.06) for about 5 years before that. In light of what seems to me very lacklustre performance, what makes you put this at the top of your list? Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i. I am curious as to what your assessment of XBCs valuation is today based on how the year ended and recent guidance? Will the December report be revised in light of new information?

Q: Recent New High(NH)after NH,& after great Q & guide,reached $111.54,All Time High. My p/p $65.45,now 5.5% position after 67% gain. Is it time to trim or allow to continue to run. Your view please. Thanks for U usual great views & services

Q: 1.5% position,P/P $18.77 down 22.8%. Reports Q2 Apr 28,& worried as missed last 2 Qs resulting in sharp decline.Add,Hold or Sell? Pleas comment.Thanks for u usual great views & services.

Q: I've done well with Boyd and am reluctant to sell, however the recent share price has been flat to down. Can you elaborate on growth drivers for this company. Considering swapping for CP for growth and slightly higher dividend or is more patience required.

Thanks

Q: Any updates about the future potential of this company? Will it benefit from the anticipated economic recover?
Thank you/Cheers

Q: Hello 5i team,
On the seeking alpha website, they have a press release stating that NFI acquired an order for 46 ZE buses for fleets in Scotland which can be checked on the ADL website (an NFI subsidiary).

Then there is another press release today for 126 ZE buses for Glasgow on the seeking alpha website which is not on the NFI website.

1) Is the second press release true?
2) If both orders are correct, how much does this move the needle in terms of back orders (I am guessing that these orders can be canceled at any time)?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Good morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
There's a class action lawsuit involving XBC.
https://www.lexgroup.ca/classaction/xebec-adsorption-inc-securities-class-action/
Do you think that such an action will put further pressure on this "in the doghouse" stock? (Although it closed slightly up yesterday, a welcome event)
Also, if you were an investor, would you join this class action, or is that an unwise move? (IMHO, It's sort of like "hedging your bets", especially since it costs nothing to do so.) Your guidance and advice is always greatly valued

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,

Well continues to drift lower daily. Today it actually ended even (maybe due to the Scotia interview). I see their business mix as both benefiting from the secular tech tailwind and cyclical reopening tailwind.

Today the stock dipped below $7. This is almost 29% lower than the upsized equity offering. Couple questions:

1). How does this effect those large investors that are “holding the bag”? Could the upsizing be at risk?

2) How low can this company continue to drift? At what point if any are you saying this is insane and buy more?

Thank you.

Q: Your thoughts on today's Park Lawn earnings report? You can answer after the conference call if you want. The press release looked pretty good to me, but you're the pro.

OK to add to bring PLC up to a full position? Retired, dividend-income investor.

Thanks...Steve

Q: For a long term, conservative, income oriented investor what are your favourite industrial stocks. Three from each of canada and the US would be great.
Many thanks for all the help.
John

Q: Can you reflect on why Well has dropped so much lately. Also what are your feelings on it's future?
Thanks.

Q: Good morning - In your opinion, at present, what are the best long term, larger cap, Canadian companies in which to invest for capital appreciation, regardless of sector. Thanks

Q: Management keeps highlighting how much stock they have repurchased. Even on the latest earnings call Mr Goodman made that his last point. When building Paladin Labs did management utilize the same strategy or is GUD following a different path?

Q: I have a difficult time differentiating what each of these companies do for lawyers and lenders. How much actual overlap/competition is there?
I see there has been a fair bit of public market selling by REAL directors but then some buying late last week. How large is REAL insiders holdings commitment today compared to the last 5I report?
If there is any overlap/competition of services or perhaps synergies would it make sense for DND to acquire REAL if they could swallow it? Is DND, at 2X REAL’s market cap, large enough to acquire REAL?

Thank You
Clarence

Q: whats popping this since earnings? Thx

Q: Most compelling small to mid-cap in US or Canada currently?
Thanks

Q: Are you in general agreement with today's conclusion from TD Equity Research on Q4 results? For those willing to "hang in", it appears there is descent upside from here:
2021 midpoint revenue guidance implies more than25% revenue per-share growth and continues to imply a constructive outlook forXebec across its various end-markets (hydrogen, RNG, and other gasses). However,we believe that Xebec is firmly in "show-me" territory with investors and, based on thefactors described above, we are increasing our risk rating to SPECULATIVE (fromHigh previously), consistent with other companies in the Cleantech sector that are notexpected to generate meaningfully positive cash flow in the near term. This changein risk profile requires a rating change to SPECULATIVE BUY (from Buy previously).Based on our revised estimates, and an increase in the discount rate we employ, ourtarget price decreases to $7.50 (from $10.00 previously).
The report also mentioned XBC is abandoning it custom made RNG equipment products and will sell only standard equipment going forward.

Q: Hi , will you buy, hold or sell shopify as a block of over 700,000 shares on sale ?thanks.
