Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Team 5i & Everyone,

Based on the metrics you watch, in your best estimation, do you feel that the US markets are in late cycle?

I’ve seen that there’s a “debate” that we’re either late cycle of this current run since the 2022 lows, or we’ve started a new cycle since the April 2025 low. Time will tell.

Thank you!

Sandra

Q: Between BYD and ATD, which do you believe has better returns in the next 3-5 years?

Q: As we enter "tax loss selling" season, any sectors or specific companies that you would consider, both Canadian and US ?

Q: Hi,

Not sure I understand the 3 for split where the extra shares are considered a dividend. I had a large cap gain prior to the split which has been substantially reduced by the factor of the split, and now have a large dividend that I must pay tax on when I do my 2025 taxes. At least that is how my TD account shows it. How can that be a good thing for an investor.

Have I got this wrong?

Q: I'm currently down 35% on my BCE shares and am considering selling them to buy Propel Holdings stock for the long term. Do you think that would be a smart move? If you have better alternatives for my BCE position, I'm open to your advice in either the Canadian or U.S. markets

Q: With ATZ's heavy growth into the US demographics, do you think ATZ will ever has a US listing, similar to LULU's approach?

Q: Hi, trimmed some ATZ today before earnings to manage position size, having a nice 120% gain but looking to rebalance some names and sectors. MDA and ZDC are two names I have smaller positions in but would like to add, currently around 1%. ZDC since breaking out Sept 18th has had a nice run and volume has been increasing. MDA has rebounded as well from the low 30's. AXON is another one I would like to add to, currently around 3%. Which would you prefer to add to currently? AXON and ZDC are trading a high fwd PE valuations so not much room for error in growth, but is the PE justified and can earnings grow faster than the stock price?

With the famous quote of "Water your flowers and cut your weeds", this is something I overanalyze when allocating funds. I have names such as TFII, TRI, DSG, IFC, WELL, ISRG that have been struggling lately, but you often mention that once we see a recovery in the sector, these could rebound quickly. But in the meantime, you have high quality stocks that have been holding up well that I want to add to as well. So often times, I'm trimming some of these losers as they go down, but then they come roaring back and now you only have a small position in these names. Also, I like to hold high quality names and let them compound instead of trimming them all the time. How do you best balance this dilemma? Thank you!

Q: With PRL's recent weakness, what do you think is a good entry point?

Q: Hello,

Q: Hello 5i,
What could be the purpose of scheduling an “investor day” on november 20th, with AIF in an official strategic review process? Note that this is only the 2nd time (to my knowledge) that AIF is doing such a “investor day” during the past 10 years (the other was in 2021). According to you, does it decrease your estimation of the probability of a sale of the whole company? The stock did not move today on this announcement. Thank you

Q: hi
can we get your quick thoughts on the incredible earnings, any significant forward looking statements from the company, buy more now?

Q: I am thinking of selling my full position in TCS and investing the proceeds in ATD. This will reduce my Technology holdings to market weight and increase my Consumer Discretionary holdings to be closer to market weight. What do you think?
