Investment Q&A

Q: What is meant by a full position or a half position?

Q: Hello, can I have your top ten list of consumer stocks, Canadian or CDRs, based on projected total return (share price plus dividends, if applicable), for a 5+ years holding period? Thanks!

Q: I hold PBH (0.8% position) and COST (1.5%), and I realize that consolidating them is prudent. COST has been a very solid performer over time, but PBH has been performing quite well recently, after a couple of years where the share price was on a downward trajectory.

I understand each company has its attributes: with a time horizon of five years, in terms of share price appreciation, which is poised for better growth?

Q: Given a 3 to 5 year holding period, what order would you buy the above stocks?

Very much appreciate your service.

Howard.

Q: Good Afternoon,

After reading the recent report updates, I followed 5i and sold my share in ATS. Besides some shares in AC, I have very little exposure to industrials. Just looking for advice on U.S. or Canadian industrial share(s) I should consider. Any ETFs?

Regards,

Ryan

Q: The Globe names these 3 companies as possible gainers due to increased defense spending. Can you please rank them in order of preference?

Q: Good Morning
CNR fell 6% since last Friday. Is there any specific company related issue with respect to this drop? Would you add, buy or sell at this level? Will appreciate your comments with respect to this stock going forward.
Thanks

Q: Hello,
Any idea why Lumine Group and Topicus are surging? Lately Arc resources has been going down and is it simply due to the price of natural gas? Also, i was thinking i am down alot on brookfield energy partners from the time i bought it, should i stick to it for long term or take a loss and move the monies into the parent company? Thanks very much

Q: At what price point does CPRT become a compelling buy? A month ago you said it was still too expensive to consider, it has dropped nearly 5% since. Would you step in here?

Also, I am very pleased with my subscription upgrade to include analytics. Can you please provide more clarity about your monthly stock selections? Are they meant to be ideas for a trade or for a buy and hold? It would be helpful if you could specify that for each pick.

Thank you

Q: I am impressed with your Portfolio Analytics services - thank you! It seems I am underweight in both Real Estate and Basic Materials. Could you please suggest 2-3 growthy names (Canadian or US) in each of these sectors?

Q: Does 5i use technical investing and are there any websites or resources you would recommend? Thx

Q: Hi, now that ATD has formally dropped the proposed take over of 7-Eleven, where do you see the stock price reverting to? Low-mid 70's ...until they announce their next deal.?
I have owned (and trimmed) over the last 10+ years so have done well but I don't think I will get the same returns as I have previously. Can you please suggest a replacement?

Thank you!

Q: hi group please see attached lists of my \TSFA holdings in what order would you add to them or is there a better stock picks you would recommend instead Maybe 3 suggestions. thanks

ps how much cash are you recommending we hold thru these turbulent times as well as the market being way oversold (gold/metals and Tech seem to me the leaders

Q: I'd like to either start a 4% position in TRI or bring the other 4 positions up closer to 5%. Also I could just start a smaller position in TRI and bring the others up a bit, distributing funds across the names. If you could rank order these names, it might help me decide. As is, now MSFT and AMZN are quite small positions. Would any be affected by Tariffs? Just not sure how bullish you are on TRI vs the others. Thank you very much for continued great investment analysis.

Q: Hi, I'm thinking of initiating a position in one of these. Thinking of three plus years and the highest growth. How would you rank these in order, and please give a good entry/price. Please note that I just submitted a question but forgot to include DOL and GIB.A. Thank you.

Q: Good morning

What is ATD's average Historical P/E ratio, say for the past 5 or 10 years?

What is the High and Low Historical P/E ratio, the range, during that time period?

Dividing ATD's current stock price of $69 by their reported net income per share of $2.72 yields a Historical P/E ratio of 25.4.

Am I doing what seems like a simple calculation correctly?

I ask because I am seeing a Future P/E ratio for ATD in the financial press of 17.3, which implies a large increase in net income compared with their last fiscal year, a decline in stock price, or some combination of the two,

How should one interpret this dramatic change in Future vs Historical P/E for ATD?

And finally, what is 5i's view on how expensive ATD's price is currently, compared with past history? Does 5i support accumulating ATD shares at this point?

Thank you.

Edward

Q: Are there some utility or resource companies that will especially benefit from the need for increased electricity for data centres for AI and crypto?
