Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi Guys,

I was thinking of buying SIS at $16.60. After reading many of your answers I know you really like the company.

Why does the stock price keep dropping going against your recent recommendations?

Do you see a problem with their Chinese factory and importing goods into the US especially with how "Donald" is acting?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks
John

Q: Would you expect PBH to hold up as well as Loblaw in a downturn? I hold both as part of my non-cyclical portion of my portfolio but I view PBH's growth prospects as greater and am therefore considering selling Loblaw. I realize that Loblaw is significantly larger although your report shows PBH's shares did hold up well in the last recession. My main concern with PBH is that a significant portion of revenues/profits comes from specialty foods. Would you expect this sector to hold up well in a downturn as I don't know if PBH product mix has changed significantly since 2008? I have no intention of selling PBH - I am just wondering if I can find a better substitute for Loblaw.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi,
All the forecasts I’ve read for 1 year target for photon put it around 2.2-2.25. At 2.3 today, do you see much upside left or is the best part of this ride over? I’ve done well with it, so thanks to 5i for making me aware of it. If I was to cash out, do you have any other names for high growth companies that you would recommend a switch to? please name your top 3-4 as I own many of the companies you regularly recommend.

Thanks

Q: I am confused,so please help me to understand.TSGI had a decent run the last 2 weeks esp. yesterday(when it was up $2.41),but drop today as there was a bond financing..In my mind,equity financing creates an overhang as dilutive & price set lower than market's price,so how does bond financing comes into play.Guess today's increase in rate by the Fed (as expected)plus 2 more in 2018 may have a negative impact.Thanks for u usual great services & views

Q: Hi

Two months ago I invested a severance that closely followed your balanced portfolio. It has done well. I recently had a pension transferred to a LIRA and want to invest that too. A part of me is hesitant to invest the LIRA in equities such as CSU or GC as examples given their terrific gains already. 8 weeks ago CSU was $900 and I thought I was taking a risk then but it went up even higher so it worked out. My question is when is it too late to hop on the 5i train? especially if you are a relatively new subscriber such as myself. Note, I still do my own research and make my own adjustments on my portfolio.

I'm really glad I subscribed. It has been a great decision thus far.

Thanks!

Q: Would you consider the Stars Group still a reasonable buy at its current share price?

Would you consider the Stars Group a potential take-over target?

Thank you so much. I still hold the Stars shares I bought many years ago when your dream team recommended it. It has been a wonder stock - right up there with Constellation Software and many other winners you have recommended.

Well done and thanks, Peter

Q: Keeping in mind the extended length of the current bull market, the often bewildering ‘noise’ emanating from our once friendly neighbour to the south, and a myriad of other moving parts, I’m finding it difficult to identify Canadian companies that can survive and continue to grow over the long term. I would greatly appreciate it if you would share with me a list of dividend paying Canadian companies that are so well-managed and have such strong stories that you believe they have an excellent chance to continue to grow and flourish well into the future. I would consider these companies to become core holdings and held for 5 to 10 years. Hopefully, your choices would represent multiple sectors.
