Q: Greetings:
In your Nov 27 update report on Boyd Group Services you show n/a
for the 5 year eps growth. Please explain? Also, in the last few days
a question was asked about the viability of a company. Your answer
was that it has a Bloomberg default risk rating of I think it was about 6.8?. Can any member of the team remember the name of the
company? I understand what this rating is, I just like to remember
the details in the questions and to satisfy my memory.
Thanks very much.
BEN.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I am a newbie here and really impressed by how appreciative members have been to the service you guys provide.

I have very small positions in both AC and GIB.A, and would like to consolidate to one for a long term hold. Could you please rank the two and also provide brief explanation?

Thanks for your insight!

Q: Good morning,

I believe 5i prefers Magna over Linamar, and you folks often go with favouring a bigger company over its competition. MG has a much larger market cap than LNR. Plse explain (if I am correct) why 5i prefers MG over LNR (management team, opportunities, contracts, balance sheet?). I wish to buy one of them for a long-term hold.

Q: Good day. I have been holding BPY.UN for 2 years but see it going nowhere aside from having a nice dividend. I now stand -15% and a 3.2% position in my RSP. I am overweight Real Estate and need to increase weight in Technology/Consumer Non-Cycl. and Cycl. Can you suggest a few of your portfolio favourites that I could start positions with or should I hold on for awhile to see where BPY.UN goes. Please note that I use dividends as reinvestment/diversification tool and therefore although not necessary for growth they are quite useful.
Thank you

Q: What consumer cyclical companies do you recommend (US or Canadian) for a long term buy/hold. More generally, what is the difference between consumer cyclical and consumer defensive categories; is it important to differentiate in a portfolio?

Q: Hi,
I’m wondering why TRZ is trading above the (pitiful) $5 new offer by AC. With the vote to be held on Dec15th, I assume that most shareholders will take AC shares as exchange, at a lower price of $17.47, which means a value for TRZ close to $7 now . But wouldn’t that dilute AC stock, with the risk of a sell-off afterwards- or the amount is too small to make a difference? Without the OK from Canadian and European regulators, isn’t any choice risky right now? And selling TRZ at the market a better choice today? Thanks.

Q: I hold the above companies in my TFSA and they represent my Tech holdings. I am getting a little overweight in my tech sector and am wondering if any of my holdings are in essence duplications. If so could you recommend which ones to sell.
I have a list of buys, including CAE, TFII, XBC, GOOS, and would redeploy the capital plus some of my cash to these positions. Of my potential buys in what order would you see as the best opportunities.
