Q: Please help me out. One of the metrics I find very important is ROE or return on equity. When I look this up look this up on 5i’s site under profile I get an ROE of 128% however when I look at the April 25/24 report it shows 2%? The current Morningstar Quant Report shows 3.99%. So 1st. question is does 5i consider ROE to be an important metric?
Secondly how can I get an accurate measurement?
Thanks

Q: Good Evening

1. In buying and selling stocks how much weight one should place on technical analysis ?
With respect to BAM, a broker's technical analysis section indicated, on March 7/2025, that this security could drop to a range of 50-54. The event on March 7/2025 was described as "Megaphone Top".

2. Is there any explanation as to why BAM dropped 23% from its peak while the TSX dropped only 7% as of today ? Do you recommend adding at this level or holding ?
I will appreciate as always your insight.

Q: HI Peter,
Would you continue to dollar cost average into Dollarama at $164+? Or do you think it's fully valued? The investing site I use for company historical data shows the current PE as 38.3 (high) and in between the 38.3 and 20.9 for the last 10 years. The forward PE for the next 2 years as 36.3 and 32.5. We've been slowly DCAing and it's worked out OK thus far. Thanks for stellar advice during these tumultuous times.

Q: This company seems exempt from much tariff impact according to their recent press release and since they're continuing to expand their manufacturing capabilities and growing into new US markets - how do you view this company going forward?

It seems expensive on a PE basis but wondering your thoughts.

Also - do you know when this company reports and the outlook for earnings?
