Investment Q&A

Q: I recently bought some IBIT shares and since the purchase my Portfolio Analysis summary has gone wonky. In the detail section for IBIT percentages; Asset Class: Fixed Income: 3055.98%, Diversified: -93.07%. Cash: -421.34%, Equity: -2441.58%. Geography and Sector breakdowns are also all over the place. Needless to say the summary of my portfolio is unreliable. Can this be fixed?

Q: I own both of these but would like to just keep one. Which one do you have more faith in going forward. Thanks. I plan to buy AXON as a replacement.

Q: Good morning. I hold the above stocks in my TFSA. Together they now account for approx. 6% of my TFSA. I am thinking I'd like to consolidate them into one or possibly two positions. Which would you choose to keep if you went that route. Alternatively can you suggest one or two Canadian and one or two American growth stocks to take their place. I already hold full positions of CSU, LMN, TOI, NVDA, and SHOP. Thanks for your advice, Rod

Q: I notice AND is up over 10% today . I suspect this is because of the earnings report. Please comment on earnings and more importantly any comments on outlook they may have stated in either their conference call or earnings report. Thanks Garth ......

Q: your opinion on LNR results, is it buy, sell, hold.

Q: I have read through your Macro Market Model information you forwarded yesterday and find it somewhat confussing.
I am subcribed to your Portfolio Analytics but when I go to the bottom of your How to Utilize it and where it says Free Report Download and click on it here is what I get,
Uh oh! We've encountered an error!
"The action you have requested could not be processed. Perhaps you have followed an incomplete link, or are using an old bookmark"?
I am not sure what this means?
If I also go to the Portfolio Analytics There is nothing there that makes reference to the "Macro Market Models".
Can you please clarify ! Thanks.

Q: Will the Macro Market Models webinar be recorded so we can watch it later? If so do we need to register to get the recording?

Q: These stocks have had some very nice gains over the last few months. CLS, DE, DRX, EQB, LMN, PAY, TOI, TVK. If you held a partial position in these and wanted to add to the position to create a full position, which ones would you just buy at the current market price despite big run up? Are there some that you would try to buy at a somewhat lower price? If so, what price would you use?

Q: For capital appreciation over a 5 year period - Which 2 or 3 of the listed stocks would you choose.
Thanks

Q: Considering a switch from WCN waste connections to GFL as WCN has run up significantly; comments please.

Q: I think the new Macro Markets Models is a great new addition for the Portfolio Analytics subscribers. Provides a lot more value! Gerry

Q: What would be your picks for adding to the noted stocks - for price appreciation in the next 5 years.
Thanks

Q: I know it's apples to oranges but here goes. Leaning more towards growth, which of these have more growth and why.

1- Between CROX and AXON which one?
2- Between WELL and DRX which one?

5 year hold minimum.

Thanks

Q: Can you please rank the above in terms of growth. For TFSA 5 year hold minimum. Thanks

Q: After reading you were disappointed with the results by Nuvei -- on top of your tepid reviews prior to this week's earnings results -- I'm thinking of replacing it.

Note, I don't use asset allocation, instead selecting stocks with the best overall potential for capital appreciation (in this case over the next 5 years).

With that in mind, please rank Celestica, Tecsys, Docebo, TFII and Terravest against Nuvei from 1 to 6, one being the best, 6 the least appealing.

Pete.

Q: Hi Team,
I have a small amount of Nvei left in my portfolio. I was looking at selling the remaining shares and adding to one of the following names : LMN, Shop, Bn, or CLS would be a “new” buy. Which would you recommend buying today ? Long term share price appreciation in mind here.

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: I’m trying to form a kind of hybrid of the Hodson and the Buffet approach to investing. Hodson: balanced portfolio. Buffet: a few excellent companies. So I would form a fairly balanced portfolio but be overweight considerably in a few.

Buffet says you are buying a piece of a business; you are not buying a stock. He and Munger don’t care about the stock market. They both say you don’t need very many stocks, no more than 5 or 6. They also say their approach is not for the average person, who usually doesn’t know how to value a business and should just stick to EFFs. Their approach is for someone who knows how to analyze and value a business. Peter Hodson and 5i do know how to analyze and value a business. (And in answers to questions 5i has also said several times that the way to build wealth is to own a small concentrated portfolio.)

On the other hand, 5i is all about building and rebalancing a diversified portfolio, covering all, or almost all, sectors. This approach is more concentrated than an ETF, but not as concentrated as a Buffet/Munger small set of quality companies. I don’t know anything about Sees Candy, Geiko, or Coke. But they certainly do.

If Buffet/Munger were looking only at Canadian companies, which few would they want to own? Any size, any sector. Just outstanding businesses.

Q: Please comment on the latest results. Anything there to change your opinion on NFI. Thanks

Q: From reading your recent answers, you like these 4 companies (CNR, CP, TFII and TIH). Would you please rank these 4 companies for growth and rank them again for dividend growth. Which two companies would be your favorite for a combination of growth and dividends for a 5+ year hold? If you can give a brief explanation for the reason(s) over the other 2 companies? Thank you.

Q: Please comment on BDGI-T 2023 forth quarter and annual financial results. Thank you.
