Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Peter,

I’ve held this company since the Split in 2018. Since that time the share price has been less than my cost, that is until just lately. Based on its performance, does it remain in the BP for sector balance, or do you feel it has been consolidating for the last 3 years and has room to run?

Q: I was wandering if you buy a stock and it has gone up double or even tripled
in value is it better to take out the initial investment and put it elsewhere or keep all the shares and see how far it can go ….which is more advantages in growing your portfolio
example GSY I bought it in the $ 30 range.

Thanks

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: When does REAL next report and what is expected? Also, what kind of beat will be needed to get REAL back on an upwards trajectory. It's been drifting lower over the past while. Are you still high on the company?

Q: What is your view of BYD for 2021? The share price of this company seems to have been range bounded during much of 2020 after some solid gains in 2019. Is it time to move on? Thanks.

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: Can I have your thought on A&W at the current price of about $31-$32? It seems like a good entry point in anticipation of post-Covid spending.

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: This company crashed a few months ago, and I am down about 15%. Do you see a rebound, and if so, what is the timeline? Thank you.

Q: What is your opinion of photon's growth potential. Would you be a buyer at the current price for a 3-5 yr horizon.

Q: Is it okay to buy Well today.Txs for u usual great services & views

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: What are your thoughts on REAL at this point? I have a small position and thinking of adding to it. What would be a good entry price.
Thank you

Q: Any chance somebody will buy this company? The stock has only one direction for the last 5 years and it's down. The CEO it seems wit's a one trick pony and we need somebody else to put the company out of misery.

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: K-Bro Linen has had a nice increase since your last comment on Nov 12, 2020. Has your outlook been revised on this based on the current share price? I hold a very small position. Would you still hold, or consider other alternatives elsewhere?

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: Is Lightspeed Venture Funds part of Lightspeed POS which is in the Growth Portfolio.

Thank You for you great work
