Investment Q&A

Q: Can you please comment on q1 earnings just released, as well as outlook. Thanks

Q: I hold full positions in both WELL (growth portfolio) and PKI (balanced portfolio). Wonder about overweighting these two positions by adding to them as WELL seems to have near term upside and PKI as a reopening recovery that is still appears to be reasonably priced. The additions would be like 50% of the target weighting. Also I'm prepared to hold for the longer-term, like 5 years. Does this make sense or are there better opportunities? .......Thanks for the insights.......Tom

Q: Is a move for TOI off of the Canadian venture exchange imminent? If so, would that move be to a European exchange? As I understand it, the company is headquartered in Toronto, but would an eventual move to Europe be likely?

Q: Given a three to five year time frame, which of WELL and DND has the better growth potential?

Thanks.

Howard

Q: Do you see PKI as competitors? If so, which one would you own.? If not, would it seem necessary to own both?
Thanks, David

Q: Hi, Topicus released excellent results, 3 weeks ago and stock touched an all time high of $94.80. However, since then it has been in a continuous downtrend and as of today, lost 20% of its value from the peak. Stock's decline over this period has been relentless and rather systematic. Specially for past 1 week, stock can not seem to hold its open and close lower, every single day, no matter what the rest of technology sector is doing.

Volume, though, has been low, which could imply that sellers are not institutions, rather some retail investors booking their profit, from the free shares received or bought cheaper, during initial listing days.

Your recent comments have also been consistent with this observation and you have expressed your comfort with buying/adding at current levels for long term. So we have done and we hope (with Constellation Software's incredible history, in mind) to do well over next several years.

However, the price action of the stock has been weak and frustrating, to say the least.

It would be really helpful, if you could share any further thoughts or insight.

Thank You

Q: Hi.
Can I get your comments on their latest quarterly release please?
Thanks,
Dan

Q: XBC seems to have gone up some last 2-3 days, what do you think, is it still a buy or avoid?
TOI seems to have gone the other way. Any explanation? Is it a buy?
Thank you, Fooklin

Q: Do the above Cdn companies have U.S. listings,if not do you think they will in the next few years?i

Q: Hi there
Do you see the recent passing of the "Make PPE in America Act" , which looks to have a minimum 3 year duration, as a significant tailwind for MRS? Or is it just a small win in the big picture.
Thanks
Marc

Q: Topicus has pulled back to $80 a share in recent days - do you view this as a buying opportunity for those yet to initiate a full position?

Q: What do you think BAM will go to or is a sell. Also is Air Canada still a buy.

Q: Good Morning
If you only had sufficient funds to buy one of the above in a TFSA what one do you believe will provide the best return in a year and why? sector allocation here is not a consideration in this case

Q: Earlier you commented on the earnings saying that the market may not like their revenue miss from $35.4M from and expected $36.2M.
On the other hand, they bought a company as big as them. Since that deal closed on March 31, it was not accretive to the earnings released yesterday BUT they guided considerable higher on revenue and EBITDA for the year.
Wouldn't increasing the future guidance have more of and effect on the stock price than earnings of a quarter where the puchase was not accretive?
Thanks

Q: Please comment on STC results & going forward.Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: Can you please comment on results.
Thanks

Q: Would holding GUD be close to the equivalent of holding cash right now? I understand it’s a security and nothing is 100% safe but when I look at the cash in hand along with Goodman’s shares (which I assume he’s in no rush to sell) it’s probably around the current price per share. Would you see this as a viable alternative to a piece of the cash portion of a portfolio with nice potential upside long term? Thanks as always for this service!

Q: I am concerned regarding Mr Vounassis background at Bombardier. Given that Bombardier has been the worst performing stock in history and an ultimate example of corporate welfare, it is not a good name to have on a resume.
Also, sometimes applying methodology from large corporations to smaller companies does not work so well.
I hold some XBC and will continue holding but I have concerns.
Your comments please
Thanks for your great service

Q: Your comments please on the latest executive appointments at Xebec. Do you think they are positive? Thank you

Q: On May 17th, your response was "EIF and FSZ as well, though those may be considered 'just' income with perhaps less capital gains potential." With that comment, I thought I might realize the gain on EIF, like 30%....and then redeploy it elsewhere.I say this as the chart shows EIF runs up and then pulls back...and at the moment, it might be topping. Within my income portfolio, EIF weighting is OK. Without considering the income tax implications, am I wise to do it, trim the gain, or as EIF would be a long-term hold with a dividend nearly 6% and expecting to hold until the fundamentals change, just do nothing?......Appreciate your insight on this.....Tom
