Investment Q&A

Q: Toi closed the end of oct at $138. To day it was as low as $98 before recovering slightly.
Do you think Csu and Toi insiders are selling Toi shares to provide funds to the new venture capital fund?
Does Toi have their own acquisition team or do they rely on Csu?
Is Toi restricted to only Europe ?
Would they have enough cash flow to finance an acquisition or will they have to borrow or issue shares?
Finally if one planned to invest $30,000. today in Csu and Toi for at least a a 5 year hold,how should one proportion it?

Q: Many of my quick growing stocks have been hit recently and I'm sorry I didn't sell some when they were doing well. TRI continues to perform well and hasn't been hit by recent market fear. Do you consider it worth holding long term or would you sell?

Q: First Call Consensus has upgraded XBC from Hold to Buy. would this be a signal to average down if one was so inclined?

Q: Hi, I was wondering what you would suggest for additions to an RESP which currently holds VGG
and GSY. Long term hold, moderate risk ok.
Two or three top recommendations please, and Thanks for your excellent service! Thanks, Lavern

Q: Oh BYD! BYD has been beaten up a bit lately. Are you still believer or is the pretty good run over...

Q: Hi 5i,
What is your opinion on Alimentation vs. Parkland? Over the last couple years I’ve held in the hopes it might turn out to be a ‘baby ATD.B’. Is this a case where an investor should pay up for the quality proven business?

Thank you!

Q: My question concerns the change in value and division of shares with STC. Why did they change the structure and value.
Sorry to sound so vague….vl

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan, I bought LSPD in my RRSP 200 shares at an adjusted cost of 26.0. Its now 11% of the portfolio would it be wise to sell half of this now even though it's down at this level. I did'n t sell at 150. but hind site and all, that's done. Would you sell. Thanks

Q: The stock has plummeted from 130 in Sept to 49 today. I don't recall a 5i recco that has fallen so dramatically and ever recovered to where it was.

Obviously the shorts have it right (so far) to be short was the right thing to do.

1)Do you sincerely feel that LSPD will ever recover to where it had been?

2)If yes, what dramatic course of events would do it?

Sheldon

Q: Peter/Ryan:
with recent market weakness, should we be reading anything into the fact that NBLY has held up so well? I ask, as we've fairly recently opened up a small position in the company and wondering if adding a bit more seems to be a good strategy.
thanks

Q: Please comment on Q results released this a.m. Initial very positive reaction,now turned negative.Why? Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: What would be a good entry price for Lspd? Thanks

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: Peter
Would this be the right time to buy into this company now or would you believe that it may still go down a bit between now and the last week of december.

Q: I see that Tims China plan to go public in 2022. will QSR shareholders receive shares in this newly created company? what % of this new company will Restaurant Brands own? thanks Richard

Q: Is gsy a buy now do you still like it. Its being going down pretty steady.

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
