Investment Q&A

Q: What is your view of this company currently? I know they miss their numbers at least half the time should we be expecting this again today after they report? I currently have 1000 shares and I am down about 35% would you average down? I like the dividend and this holding sits in an RRSP account with a long time horizon. Thanks as always.

Q: This financing news really rubs me the wrong way. The issue price is deeply discounted and the units come with a warrant that is also really cheep assuming the company has any type of decent future. The insiders are participating. This looks like the insiders are taking advantage of the weak current share price to stuff their own pockets and the pockets of their buddies with cheep shares and warrants at the expense of longer term shareholders.

Q: Hello, What has happened to Savaria lately? Why the weakness? Is it still a good company but gone out of favour with investors? Thanks.

Q: COV has a history of private placements, this includes in 2013, 2017, and now. And insiders can buy provided the Venture exchange provides waivers, including fair value. With 22M common shares outstanding, the just announced offering waters down current shareholders by 10% and if the warrants are exericed, another 10%. WOW, management friendly or what?! Has management stated the use of these funds? And is management attempted to put a floor to the current decline? And as for the warrant exercise price, about 17.5 % higher the offer price, and over 5 years, is management saying the COV price will be range bound for years to come?.......oh, so many un-answered question......wish they would sit down with me for a java talk and provide direct responses!
......bewildering, eh?!.......Tom

Q: How do you feel about adding to New Flyer at these levels.

Q: Hi, could you please comment on Parkland earnings. Looks like a nice beat !! Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,

I hold both NFI and COV in a cash account. I am looking at purchasing both at 2% position in my TFSA and then selling them both for a tax loss. Your opinion?

Bonus question-based on the ruffled feathers, would you consider doing a review of the various portfolios performance with commentary at set periods?

Thx

Q: Hi Could you please post quarterly earning estimates for CCL Industries and Lightspeed. Thanks

Q: Hi, Could you please review Kinaxis earnings. Thanks

Q: Regarding COV. I don't usually play with this stuff and I'd only be thinking about a 1% or so position. But there seems to be an actual business underneath this mess. So lets assume the Saudi business is gone and the rogue salesman pulled off whatever he was trying to pull off. As I read their reports that leaves 60% of their business in the US. So the question is where does that leave us going forward ? And how to assess managements ability to grow from there ? If it drops to the $2.00 range is there some value there ?

Q: Your overview of the announcement of the agreement with Penn National and the potential impact on share price please.
Thank You

Q: Your thoughts on the recent deal with Penn? The addition of access to 9 states would appear significant on the surface.

Q: Can you comment on COV's announcement to raise funds and what it means for company and shareholders. I have a very small position and based on your recent assessments, have stuck with this one. Are you still going to stick with the company or is it time to bail.

Q: Comments on earnings please and what is anticipated for stock going forward

Q: If based on 5i previous report insiders owned 12% of the company and if insiders now own less than 3% could this have something to do with the stock weakness? Thx

Q: Hi, Could you please comment on TOY earnings. It was a relief to see company beating on Revenue and EPS, while market appeared to be anticipating worse.
Do you see stock recovering ? Thanks

Q: Would you be comfortable for someone retired in their mid 50's to hold PKI rather than ENB in a RIF account?

Q: Any specific reason for yesterday's drop?

Q: Covalon has been beaten down considerably in last few months and I see from a few of the questions that 5i has been beaten up a bit over past recommendations on it. I think many investors are similar to myself in that when a trade works out well it is because I am very smart and when it doesn't work out well it is because someone else is not :-). However looking at Covalon it still seems like there is a good path forward for them but will take longer than originally anticipated. At today's depressed pricing would you consider them a good option from a longer term perspective?

Q: Do you agree with Gordon Pape’s opinion of NFI?

We sold some shares last year at a substantial profit but kept some which is currently around a 3% weighting and we are still up over 100%. I wonder if we should be selling the rest? The company is still profitable but the future profitability seems to be opaque. Mr. Pape comments on the drop in new orders (firm and options). Just wondering if he is spinning the numbers? Has there been a big decline in firm orders excluding options and any idea historically how solid an option to purchase a bus become an actual purchase? When a buyer places an option to purchase a bus does this cost the purchaser any money? If there is no cost to purchase an option to buy a bus then it would seem to be a pretty weak number since the buyer doesn’t have “skin in the game” so to speak.
Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Jim
