Q: Savaria has had a precipitous fall and only seems to be accelerating to the downside. I am still in the black having held it a long time but am questioning if something has fundamentally changed with the company, flagging it as a "sell"? It just dropped significantly after announcing the upcoming date for its quarterly results and I can't count the number of times I have seen this happen where when the results come out it appears to confirm that there was "leak" of inside information, we will see. (On that note, I figure if 5i was a listed company, it would be classed as having a "wide moat", because it seems like wherever you look there is a dearth of people, organizations and institutions with integrity these days).

Q: What are your thoughts on GDI? I've been holding in my TFSA for around 3 years and up 12%. They made a purchase last week which looks good. Its more or less been flat and slightly down for the last little while. I know you like it and still hold but I'm looking to high grade this stock for a better alternative if there is one.  Looking at total return 5+ yrs, what small/mid cap stocks would you rank above this one currently that I could swap with? Some names that come to mind are TVK (not held) and HPS.A (holding already).  So I would sell GDI and buy one of the others, which do you like currently that have greater growth potential? If any others in Cad or US, please offer your suggestions.

Also quick thoughts on NVEI (held in TFSA), time to cut it loose? Thanks!

Q: I own both and looking to add only to one at this time. Which to add for total return over 3-5 years? Yield on BNS is enticing currently, but exposure to Central America economies leaves me feeling it's riskier than TD with US exposure. What say you guys?

Q: Hi, SHOP had a really bad day Today and traded really poorly, sinking almost 7%, perhaps influenced by Alphabet's results and major large techs like META, AMZN etc, pulling the Nasdaq sharply lower. Shopify stock also broke the $68 support level today, which it has held, in the recent past. We added a little to our 6% holding, with a long term belief in company's strong fundamentals.

Analysts' commentary/preview has generally been positive with expectation of company announcing strong results and guidance on November 2nd. What are your thoughts ?

Thank You

Q: When the "take it private" chatter was happening I ended up with too large of a DND position which I have been (too) patient with as I understand that the macro economics involved are challenging and until that changes there is little to do but wait. But it is getting a little crazy at this point (even dead cats should bounce).

If I wanted to hedge my bet and sell some are there few other beat up names that you feel have a similar or better recovery potential?

Q: I just visited your subscription website. 5i rightfully touts the outstanding returns on these BEST PERFORMERS since inception.

I have benefited immensely from those picks BUT bailed at the wrong time and now only hold GSY.

Would you still recommend Csu,byd and syz at current prices or are there new potential multi baggers that you prefer

Thanks for your help…. and looking forward to seeing share prices increase and have the patience and wisdom…and courage to hold on ……

Q: Hi, What are your thoughts on owning Stantec, with respect to its current valuation and future growth vis a vis its competitors ? We have a small position and looking to add, to increase our exposure to Industrial sector. Is it prudent to wait for the quarterly results, due in a couple of weeks or take advantage of current weakness due to markets ? What would be a reasonable price range to buy ? Thank You
