Investment Q&A

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.
