Investment Q&A

Q: I’ve held BAD since it’s .un days so done well with it over the long term, and was fortunate to be able to add to my position last March taking it to 3.5% in a well diversified RRSP. I’m looking for some decent growth out of it, however, and I’m not sure this one has that over the next couple of years unless oil activity fires up again in NA (fat chance). Does BAD have potential to benefit from from all the recovery infrastructure spending and is that a catalyst worth holding/adding to BAD?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i group,
I bought ENGH back in November 2020 and it’s been on a downward trend. Can you give me you opinion on the company and should I hold to to it or just take my 4% loss and put that money to better use.
Thanks

Q: I am confused concerning your point of view regarding the growth potential of SYZ. Recently, you gave the following answer :
''We would view it as an income stock and see any gains as a bonus. Growth has not been great, but it has a solid record of raising its dividend and paying special dividends. It has too much cash and has been slow at making acquisitions. It should have a very strong 2021 in a recovery and we would still view it overall in a positive light. But there are faster-growing companies, with higher valuations. We would be fine holding it, but would classify it as income/slower growth.''
But in your last June Company Report, you grade the 5 Yr. Revenue Growth as A- and the 5 Yr. EPS Growth as A+. It looks to me contradictory. What am I missing?
In the past ten years, there was a yearly revenu growth of 15,5 % and 17,5 % for the earnings, which look great to me.
Thanks. I really appreciate your sound expertise.

Q: PHO has moved nicely the last couple months. Would you say it was under, over or fair value here? Would you buy, sell or hold at these levels?

Q: I have held Knight for many years waiting for the payoff. Now they are being booted out of the
Index to make way for GFL. They filed their shelf prospectus so perhaps something is brewing.
They report in March. Yes there is value but they sure haven’t created any in almost five years? How long do we wait?

Q: At one time was up35% in real and am now down 10%. Wondering if I should sell it now as I'll only have about 3-4 years to hold it.
Thanks for your great advice.

Q: Hi 5i,

Today, it raised in the beginning and dropped now. is it a good to buy for according to the reports? What is the target price for 1-2 years. Will it become much better after the COVID? Kindly advise many thanks.

Q: How does the 'shortage' in semiconductors effect PHO's business?

Thanks

Q: Big sell off of boyd today is there any news.

Q: SYZ has been trading at high volume that last few days. Are you aware of any news to explain this trading?
Thanks!

Q: John O'Connell commented at the money show that ENB is a ponzi scheme based on its overpaying dividends and then having to go to the market to raise the necessary capital to complete their capex plans. Sounds a little harsh. Comment?

Q: I have been holding this company for a number of years. It isn't as richly priced due to it's slower growth rate. I've been hopeful that the company would be able to show some increased growth but that hasn't really materialized. What is your opinion on this company and would you consider simply moving on to other opportunities?

Q: Hi,

PHO looks to be around its all-time highs. It also seems to be a strange trading stock, maybe because of the size of the company? Looks like it maxes out in this neighborhood and bottoms out around $0.75-$0.90/share.

If you were taking a guess today, do you see it running higher from here? Or time to take profit.

Thanks,
Ryan

Q: Hi,
Is it too late to start an initial position in XBC, taking into account, that it had a solid run up already?

Thanks,

Q: What is going on with WSP today? Down 2% and I don't see any news on it.

Joe

Q: XBC $9.56-0.85,P/P $4.47, 2.5% position ENGH $58.72 - 1.93, P/P $64.27 1.5% position Any recent declines on both.Should I add. Thanks for usual great services & views

Q: Is there a Canadian Co. that might benefit from the proposed Infrastructure spending that U.S
President Biden is planning for the U.S.? Would this Co. have to be listed on both the Canadian & U.S. Exchanges? I want a stock that qualifies for the Canadian DTC. I find BIP.UN & BIPC a bit baffling. Last March, BIPC was created & I thought it was supposed to mirror BIP.UN but as of last Friday there was a $20 difference between the price of the two stocks. When I look into BIPC which I would prefer because of the DTC, most of its holdings are in Brazil & the U.K.
Thank you: Jerry

Q: I read REAL Matters financial results and your response to an earlier question. The growth in all areas seemed extraordinary so what is contributing to their EPS misses the past two quarters? The market reaction both times has been to significantly push the share price down?
