Investment Q&A

Q: Peter; With a possible budget boost to help low ($90,000.00) income families receive dental care wouldbthis not help this company significantly? Thanks.Rod

Q: GSY took a big hit today, was there any material news that would account for it ? I have a full position in it already, but, with the pullback, I am thinking about dollar cost averaging as I have a cost base of $145. Does that seem reasonable based on the company and its performance in the last quarter ?

Q: Has Enbridge ever cut their dividend? Does Enbridge have a history of systematic dividend increases?

Q: ATZ is down 6% today but I can t find any news?

When are they reporting?

I was planning to start a position and wanted to make sure I am not missing something. Thanks!

Q: WHY NOT SELL LIGHTSPEED WHICH IS DOWN MORE THAN .20% FROM ITS HIGH? IN OTHER WORDS, WHY HOLD IT IN THE GROWTH MODEL PORTFOLIO?

Q: Any reason stock dropped sharply over past 7 days? Would you average down at this level?

Thanks,

Q: Hello Team,

I have done a lot of due diligence on TSU. I think their miss last quarter is not indicative of a wider issue. Could you please provide your view of headwinds or reasons as to why this name would not work out? Also, at what point would you add to an existing position?

Q: Hello team,

Ross Healy was on BNN and suggested that BAM is valued at the absolute top end of it’s range “the stock is at 2x book value which is at a high over the last 15 years”. Not done he then added “the 2022 earnings have gone right into the ditch and our FMV has cratered with it, it’s no wonder shares are softening.”

I follow Brookfield as closely as anyone and earnings going in a ditch? I see a beat on DE, FFO, increased flows from private funds. I see increased tailwinds from the spin off to the transition fund to the increased fee bearing capital and continued capital deployment. Also, I see the CURRENT NAV at $68 a share so a ~13% discount.

Needless to say I am on the polar opposite side of his commentary.

What am I missing hear and can you please elaborate on his argument.

Thank you.

Q: trucking has been down the past while. tfii has fallen with the group. do you see tfii as typical of the sector or an overperformer who will shine again? with the drop the past 10 days, would you add to a position? what do you see for the company

Q: Do you now believe Tfii. Is oversold?

Q: The following was in the Globe today and I quote: "Canaccord Genuity’s Doug Taylor lowered his Well Health Technologies Corp. to $10 from $12 with a “buy” rating, while PI Financial’s Kris Thompson cut his target to $9 from $10.50 with a “buy” rating. The AVERAGE is $10.12."

And yet is sits at $5.10. After a good, solid quarter. I just shake my head and wonder what I am missing?

If it wasn't for 5i I would have all my money in a sock hidden under the mattress.

Q: Hello Team,

I am interested in your opinions on both of these companies at current levels. Would you add to these names here? Also, at what price would you find them overwhelming attractive?

Thank you.

Q: Would you average down on XBC now?

Thanks

1) What do you think of the deal?
2) Did Constellation Software ever buy a public company? If so, when and what was the name or names?

Thanks for the great service.

Q: We'd all love to get a look at a few stock prices from 5 years in the future. Get a big winner, or avoid a big loser, with no risk. If you could get a list of the prices of 10 Canadian stocks 5 years from now, which ones would you pick? Let's say stocks with a min market cap of roughly $1 billion Cdn.

Q: Could you please compare these 2 companies and which would you recommend for. 2 to 3 year hold? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,
I read your market update with interest. You guys tend to be adders and trimmers as I am. You made a lot of incremental adds to various positions. I was surprised by the complete exit from OTEX at 4%. I believe you said on a number of times that one should not sell a good company unless there has been a fundamental change in the company, management or outlook. I do not see any fundamental change with OTEX. You said the stock has been a laggard. One always has some laggards in a portfolio. A steady eddy name can actually help you in these markets. Removing a 4% position seems out of sync with your style.
Thanks again.

P.S. Peter, great session with TD yesterday, even though I am not really a small cap guy.
