Investment Q&A

Q: Eric Nuttall has an interesting column in the Financial Post today saying investing in oil and gas right now is a 'generational opportunity', that Canadian oil and as are hugely undervalued and could double in a year. What do you think of increasing oil and gas holdings? How much do you think would be appropriate right now and do you still think Suncor is the way to go? I notice you have only a very small 1% holding in the balanced portfolio.

Q: Hey I have enough money to start a new position. Was wondering what between these two companies which you prefer?

Thanks!

Q: Please U take on LSPD's response this afternoon to Spruce'short attack. Txs for u usual great services & views.

my question is have you read the whole report and do you agree with some of the points or not.

Q: There is enough negative news on LSPD that crashed its share price by a short seller spreading fear this morning and then an ambulance chaser type of law firm did a pile on later.

Has the company issue anything yet? If there is no rebuttal from LSPD by tomorrow morning I would be very concerned. Usually the quicker the response from the company the better the assurance for investors. What is your view on this situation? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

LSPD is dropped 8%, do you think $130 is a good price to buy in? Perhaps what is the attractive price range to jump in?

Many thanks.

Q: Hello 5i team,
With the short attack on lightspeed, how accurate/right has been Spruce Point Capital in the past? Are they the same firm that shorted Dollarama a few years back?

Thanks,
Andrew

Q: Hi 5i,

Just a comment: The short report on LSPD reminds me of a similar short attack on SHOP, at a time when SHOP had attained the lofty heights of around $120 a share and the short report concluded that it couldn't be worth any more than about $60 a share. It is very difficult for investors to have any certainty in the moment but that short thesis on SHOP turned out to be garbage and it is quite possible that this one on LSPD is too.

Q: what price point looks really good to you if LSPD keeps dropping??

Q: Hello,

Would you suggest buying LSPD on this dip or should we wait and let the dust settle?
Thank you

Q: HI guys I am down 20% on this stock I don,t need the money and I was wondering if I should hold or hang in there for few months or sell and move on I THINK YOU GUYS ARE DOING GREAT THANKS Larry

Q: Dear 5i,

I looked at the DOO company web site and could not find any products that use batteries. I think that this might be a good growth area. Do you know if they have any products that use batteries are if there any in development. I understand one of their competitors, Polaris has battery operated products available. Do you think DOO might experience supply, labor shortages in the near term which might impact their earnings?

thanks

Q: It is falling today on volume higher than usual. Is there some news?

Thanks,

Q: X Div date on SIS is 9/28, If I buy tomorrow,Sep 27,do I get the Div. Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: I have a nice gain on TFII of 40%. Given its higher valuation with recent price increases, would you trim or change this holding to another industrial? Its currently about 4% of our retirement portfolio.

Q: Hi Team,
I read a news release sept.20 stating magna will acquire veoneer. I just wanted to confirm this is now a done deal. And do you see this deal as a long term positive or am I the only one judging by investor sentiment? Last I had heard Qualcomm had a higher bid?? Can you confirm ; and as well is it worth holding magna at these levels or should I be taking a tax loss on it (down 8% on it )? Are there any catalysts that could help the stock in the next few months or do you expect further down side? As of today it’s my only play on the EV sector. I had thought when I bought it to be a safe play on the sector and expected strong auto demand once the chip shortage went away. Thanks for your input !

Q: Which company, DSG or KXS, would have the best long term ability to help businesses sort out the current supply chain issues. I own both but would like to add to one. From reading all the answers to questions I suspect you like both but consider DSG larger and maybe cheaper. But I don't get a sense of how each one might increase business due to current supply chain issues going forward. Perhaps they are pretty close to being equal, but could you split hairs and indicate which one you think might be more worthy of topping up now?

Q: Hi 5i, read an interesting blurb in G&M stating that 26.8% of ACs float is short, and possibly due to all the debentures issued. My question is what is your opinion of this, and how long could this overhang last around the neck of ACs share price? Also do you still like it as a reopening trade and are there better candidates without this shadow of shorts?

Thx.

Q: Who will be interested in buying REAL? If the real estate is strong and this company can't get a bid what will happen when the real estate (and market for that matter) tanks?

Q: Hello 5i - I recently took my first Air Canada flights ( six legs) in twenty months and it was not pretty. Delays, cancellations, frustrations at customer service and on. I realise that restarting a big operation like AC is a massive undertaking but I was left wondering if I shouldn't get rid of my shares and maybe come back another time. So, hold or sell? What do you think?
