Q: Go Easy finally broke 100$ on their announcement about the sale of PayBright and Affirm holdings. This seems very positive. Historically it has been noted they have been valued lower due to the business segment they operate in. Do you see this announcement as reducing perception of the company and will allow it to trade at higher multiples? BMO Investorline Value Analyzer product shows close to 90% upside from here is possible.

Q: Some help for Paul asking for ideas to invest in his TFSA. In February (13)?, 2017, 5i answered a request for the top 10 picks harvested from the 5i portfolios. They were as follows: GSY, SHOP, SLF, WSP, GUD, OTEX, SIS, KXS, PBH, and one other I lost track of. Over the 4 years the return, if still held, would be +280%, but even without SHOP or GUD, the return is a respectable +96%. So for Paul and me would you do it again from current portfolio holdings. My New Years resolution is to pay more attention to your picks...........thx. Lionel

Q: Thanks for your advice as always.
I am a bit confused on CSU. I thought the share price was to drop on December 23rd on the Topicus dividend/spinout date. I don't see it and thankful. Any thoughts on why or maybe when this could happen? I now have Topicus shares in my TD account but they don't show any value yet (probably not until end of January).

Q: Hola Peter et al.

My daughter’s TFSA is a mix of growth and stable names. A year or so go I bought TCL.A, expecting a stable company with some growth...but it went the wrong way. Would it make sense to sell TCL and buy LNF or would that be switching one good but slow moving company for a second good but slow moving Co.?

The difference in sector is not relevant and obviously taxes are not a factor.
Many thanks. Robert

Q: Hi 5i,
Seem like the KXS is still weak due to the Blue Yonder Complaint in court, I am thinking to accumulate more, but want to wait until for lower, what would be a good entry price? Does the current price already reflected the worst scenario? If not, how worst the stock price should be usually for such court case happened in these companies? Kindly advice, many thanks.

Q: In one of my previous questions about Leon's, I referenced the company's profile page where it shows, like it has for months, that there is one analyst covering LNF. In your answer, you indicated there were, in fact, two analysts covering LNF.

Q1 = I have waited quite a while for the 5iR company profile page to be updated by your data provider to reflect the above # analysts (two). Is there a way to reach out to your data provider and request him to update this? Or...is it that the "missing analyst" is from a firm that they do not consider significant enough?

Q2 = While we are on the topic, how many analysts does 5iR currently have in their system that cover LNF now and what is there current target?

Q3 = What is YOUR internal target for Leon's one year out? How much upside to you see?

Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: Hi 5i,

I own Lightspeed and I am very happy with it, but I struggle to understand the valuation. Closing in on $100 a share which is an $11B market cap. Is the stock getting ahead of itself. Its tough not to take a double in a stock price in 2 months when there's a huge disconnect in valuation. They've made a couple of acquisitions and launched this new supply chain system, but they went from a $4B market cap to $11B in short order and are up 547% since the March lows. I'm itching to sell!! :)

Q: Hi, my respected 5i team
Similar to my last question, these 3 high teck stocks are Canadian.
What do you think about the valuations here and are they still safe to hold?

Q: Hi 5i team,
Where is the PR group of KXS these days? They are strangely silent on the Blue Yonder complaint in a Texas court on patent infringement. The only item I see is the Dec 14th release saying that KSX will vigorously defend itself against the claims. That’s it. Has it gone to trial? Has KXS set out any defense? Most companies under attack would at least issue some sort of rebuttal. What do you make of this silence?
Thanks again.
Dave
