Q: Hi Team,
I have heard DOO mentioned quite a bit in top canadian recommendations. Although sales have been good for the company and demand for their product is high, do you see sales/ numbers slumping for them for the next while due to supply chain issues. I know where I am the dealers have very little for inventory, and are only getting "spring break" snowcheck deliveries in for customers that pre ordered snowmobiles last spring. Will this not hurt their numbers for the next few months until supply chain issues getting straightened out?
Also, in a quick pitch...what are the main selling points for investing in this company for a 5yr plus time frame? Would it be one of your top picks today for canadian investment for share price appreciation...or after recent sell offs are their others you would choose over this one (please list)? Thanks

Shane.

Q: Hi,

I have owned shares of OTEX for several years and have a modest gain in my TFSA. In order to add a bit more growth to my portfolio I am thinking about selling OTEX and buying shares of KXS. Is this a move that would make sense to you or would you replace with something else?

Thanks very much.

Q: I find TOI’s slide puzzling. With no news from TOI can we assume that a portion of the selling is profit taking and some is the downward momentum spurred by such selling? Perhaps there’s no way to know.

I have been considering selling some or all of my CSU position to participate in a TOI upswing, though I hate to part with it, but the gain has been large. TFSA, so no tax implications.

Am I being too greedy, or is this an opportunity?

Q: Hello, if my calculations and interpretation are correct the 5i Balanced Equity Portfolio 5yr annualized return is 11.05% which is pretty good. But at the same time why would i not just invest in an index fund such as XIU which has a very similar 5 yr annualized return of 11.07% or SPY which comes in at 18.93%

Q: Hello, Between BYD and DOO, Knowing that they are both in different industries and are both great business, which is a better business with better growth prospects in earnings and revenue and with a long runway for growth. I also see that DOO is decreasing their share count whereas BYD has increased share count over the years..And which would you buy at the current market price? Thanks.

Regards,

Shyam

Q: Everyone.
My thoughts for investing: only invest in the the best of the best; hold long term and stuff will happen to test you.

As I look back on LSPD:
Should I have sold when the short report happened? No because nothing materially changed. The report was fluff and noise.
Should I have sold after the last quarter report? No because there was only a small misstep. High growth companies do have missteps.
Should I have sold when price dropped below 50 or 200 day moving average? No nothing materially changed. Apple and Amazon have dropped below both of those markers.
The only thing that has changed is the price people are willing to purchase shares.
The company strategies are still intact, but should I have sold earlier and what would be the key signal to sell?
