Q: I am looking at starting some new positions (3) in an unregistered portfolio – and doing so without regard to diversification or taxation – simply the best combination of a trio of stocks that based on current evaluation and their prospect for the greatest total return over the next 2-3 years.
I have reviewed your current answers over the last few weeks to a variety of similar questions and from your answers have identified a list of the stocks from those answers that I currently do not hold:
BN, DOL, DSG, EQB, DCBO, TFII, HEI, ODFL, SAIA, BKNG, ISRG. AXON, BRK.B, LLY, X, CPRT, ULTA, URI, DIR.UN, AW.UN., HPS.A, FIVE, PM, EIF, ENB, NEE, ABBV, TSLA, TOU, CELH, VRT, GLXY
Which trio (or Quartet, if you prefer!) of stocks would have your strongest conviction.
Thanks,
Terry

- North West Company Inc. (The) (NWC)
- Leon's Furniture Limited (LNF)
- Exchange Income Corporation (EIF)
Q: For the last 5 years LNF has done nothing. Yes it hs a dividend of 3.8%. But cheap as it is do you see it advancing much? EMA, EIF, and NWC pay higher dividends and have advanced quite a bit since bought. Would it be suggested that any of these three could replace LNF or should I hang on to LNF in the hopes that it may spring to life?

- Crocs Inc. (CROX)
Q: Mr. Hodson, I recall an appearance of your’s on market call several years back, when you deviated from your small to mid cap Canadian equity mandate and recommended Micron technologies because it was simply ‘stupid cheap’ at the time.
Are there any companies out there, CAD or US that would qualify as stupid cheap currently, and hard to ignore as a result. Are any of them compelling enough to buy?
Thank you.

Q: Peter et al:
I have big losses on canfor pulp and western forest products, and have included them in my tax loss selling? Should I buy them back? Interest in these stocks has completely subsided, which makes me think that in a few years when the price is up a lot, we will hear about them every day! Please advise, with a detailed explanation. Also, would you kindly render your opinions on canfor , which Jimmy Pattison wanted so badly, and now no one mentions. Also, opinions on Interfor, and WFG, which you like a lot more, but never get any questions about. A big shortage in housing, and lumber stocks in the dumpster!!!!. They will have their day in the sun. Help me to determine that time frame. Charge me accordingly. Much appreciated.

Q: I have owned BYD for several years, and although I am not unhappy with it, I wonder if other discretionary stocks might have more growth in the future. I am thinking specifically of CROX and/or DOO. BRD strikes me as the less volatile pick but I am willing to take on more risk if the growth profile is greater. How would 5i rank these stocks for a long-term hold?
Appreciate your insight.

Q: I'm considering selling DOO for HD. Would you consider this a good move? I'm not happy about the big drop with DOO and trying not to make an emotional decision.
A DOO bounce back looks 1-2 years away and wondering if the gains would be greater with HD. This would be for 5-10 year hold. Thanks

Q: Hi, What are your thoughts on the CN Rail's deal to acquire Iowa Northern Railway ? Is it material? Financial terms were not disclosed. The deal is still subject to US STB review. How does this deal position CN Rail against its competitors ? Does it make CNR stock more appealing to buy? Thank You
Q: I have held MFC for decades, have enjoyed the dividend but have had less than 1% pa capital growth with lots of volatility. I am seeing PFE near five-year lows and paying a dividend yield slightly higher than MFC. MFC is in my RRIF so there are no capital gains or dividend taxation issues to consider. My weighting in health care stocks and financial stocks are about the same, so there are no sector allocation issues. MFC seems to be finally moving higher and the interest rate environment should help it in the longer term, making me wonder if I should hang in. Especially with MFC still trading around 8 x earnings, it could easily move up 50% and still trade at a multiple comparable to its financial peers. However, I am intrigued by the opportunity to switch into PFE for a better yield and longer term growth. Would you make the trade to PFE or stick with MFC?

Q: The Rule of 40 is a SaaS financial ratio which states that a healthy SaaS company has a combined growth rate and profit margin of 40% or more.
Do you prescribe to this rule? Why is this specific to SaaS companies and not other industries?
