Q: Hi 5i, today you replied to Warren's question on DTOL, "and we would be comfortable letting this one go given the comparable attractive buying opportunities right now in the tech space. ".
Please provide 3 to 5 companies that meet the above response, thx.
Q: Could you provide an update on A&W?
I bought it for income, your rating and the news that it had acquired the Canadian rights to Pret a Manger. I was recently in London, and Pret is a very strong brand, with outlets much expanded from several years ago.
Q: What is your opinion on the purchasing of BAM.A shares now to establish a new position. Should the shares be bout now or should one wait for the dust to settle?
Q: With the addition of my late husband's TFSA, CSU, which I also hold, has become close to 10% of my portfolio. I am several years into retirement. I have 2 questions: Is this a reasonable stock to hold when one is well into retirement? If I keep it, should I reduce it by half? this stock, a long term hold for both of us, has done so well for me I'm reluctant to let go of any of it!
Q: Hello,
ATA had two nice news releases on Oct 3, and has been on a good run since, easily outperforming the market over the same time frame. Any comments on the new contract and the latest acquisition would be appreciated.
Q: ATD has had a nice run lately. I have held this company for a long time now and it is very steady. Current weight is 5.3% of my portfolio, but that and PBH are my Consumer defensive positions which are in line with analytic recommendations.
Any good reason to trim or trade at this time?
Or a recommend weight?
Only logic on a trade is it seems to go up settle down for a while and then marches back up. Not something I normally do, but an option.
Q: Hi, there was a G&M piece under Tim Schulfelt’s by-line today which kind of boiled down to an opinion by some that the past success of growth by acquisition companies may be challenging to maintain going forward due to higher inflation and costs of capital. The article sites many familiar names (ATD, BYD, CSU, GIB, DSG, ENGH, TFII, PBH, CCL) that have had a good run and I guess suggesting that may coming to an end or at least slowing dramatically. There seemed to be a conclusion that going forward investors might want to shift focus to good old boring organic growth stories. Just interested in your comments.
Q: Downward trend continues for PLC and I am considering tax loss sale. Do you have some level of confidence that it remains a good business and can recover in an improving economy?
Thanks
Q: I am having a hard time seeing a path to profitability for LSPD. I get that their product offers client service management, however there are tons of different point of sales systems/payment providers. Much of their growth has come from acquisitions, with a tight capital environment I not sure that is a good plan going forward. Why buy this?
