Investment Q&A

Q: PINE, excepting its relatively small size, seems to have very interesting numbers. How does it match up to such REITs as DIR.un, etc.?

Q: I know that 5i has huge respect for a company like CSU. What would be an equivalent stock in the US markets?

Q: Thoughts on NAT over the next 2-3 years?

Q: CTS's deletion from the TSE index was announced last week. Do index funds hold a significant quantity of cts shares that they now have to sell? Would these funds already have sold in anticipation? Is deletion likely to affect cts share prices and, if so, for how long a period?

Q: Hello,

Is it just me or is Trisura starting to have better price momentum? If the economy turns down in the second half, how much of an impact would it have on TSU’s incredible growth rate that they’ve had or are they largely immune?

Q: Your thoughts on their 1/4 please.

Thanks

Q: Gentlemen

BRP reported earning today, can I have your opinion on the report?

Q: “Has sold shares in company.
Company has too much retail orientation (very hard business).
Auto-body shops require large capital investments.
Strong franchise - but would wait for shares to fall before investing. “

This is what a recent guest on bnn said about Boyd recently. I have to say that I am quite surprised and pleased with the way Boyd has risen from the ashes in the past year. But, like the above mentioned guest, i wonder if it is in a bit of a hard business. It is difficult for me to really judge, though, so i thought that I would lean on your wonderful slogan that diy investing doesn’t mean you have to be on your own, and so i ask your opinion on this.
Thanks as always

Q: Hi 5i,
I don't know much about these names but am thinking about investing in one or both, so a few questions to get me started and please deduct as you see fit.
You were asked this morning if SHOP's entry into the POS arena would affect LSPD, and I have the same question, but with respect to NVEI - will SHOP be competing with NVEI in that area?
I think tech may be getting ready for a turn around. Do you think that conclusion is justified by the facts on the ground so far as they are known and, if so, are either or both of SHOP and NVEI likely to benefit given their current prices or, put another way, are they at good entry points?
Does it make sense to own both, or better to take the $$ that would be split between them and go all in on one? If so, which one?
Thanks.
Peter

Q: Can you recommend 5 top value Canadian and 5 USA companies that have solid long-term businesses, with great management, a good P/E and have no debt or very low debt. Would really like to find a solid core of buy and hold names in any sector. It would appear to me that SLF would be one good choice.
Thanks!

Q: Hello, With reference to your Model Portfolio changes to trim Stantec's present 2.5% weight to 2%, in Growth portfolio ( start price $68 - current price $77.50), could you elaborate on the rationale, a little more, for a better understanding. If the valuation is stretched, is the current price is expensive, in your opinion ? Also. generally, if you like a company and the sector, the model portfolio will hold a position 2.5-3.5% or higher.

We have noted your recent comments on this company and, decided to initiate a 1.5% position at $78, after the recent pullback, following company's results. We had no infrastructure/consultancy exposure before in our portfolios and have been low on industrial sector Just wondering, if our move makes sense.

Thank You

Q: An analyst on BNN said today that he feels Stantec's share price could double in the next 5 years, as they do a lot of business in the USA, which is spending a lot on infrastructure improvements, which should benefit Stantec. He felt their headcount in 5 years could be roughly where WSP Global's headcount is now, with some of the growth coming from acquisitions. Wondering what you think of Stantec's growth potential over the next 5 years, and also about their debt levels. Looking at the balance sheet, the debt to cash flow looks a little high.

Q: your thoughts please on the quarter?

Thx

Q: Looking for some companies that offer the opportunity for short term trading (decent sized price swings) but have the fallback of being a solid long term holding (income, long term growth potential)...should I find myself in a loss position for a while

Q: why the 4.6% drop today?
