Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Aritzia is trading near pre-pandemic levels. Analysts: 9 buys, 0 holds, 0 sells. I read that people are saving more money since the pandemic. I doubt the stores are as busy as last year. I know they have e-commerce but I don’t know if that makes up for the lack of foot traffic. It was a top pick on BNN by Teal Linde this Monday. I was thinking of selling but now I’m torn. Wondering if this is a good hold going forward. Thank you again for the excellent support!!

Q: Hi, Peter, I have watched CSU for a long time but always hesitant to finally purchase. With the spin-off date set, is it better to buy CSU now than afterwards? Is CSU a good buy at this time for 5 + year hold in a RESP?
It looks like 5 shares of CSU (1.859817814) yields 9 shares of topicus as long as the purchase is made before record date. So 5 shares might be the optimal minimum. Does the purchase have to be completed before Dec 23? Your insight on this is much appreciated!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Q: Happy holidays to all at 5i. In this most difficult of years, it was great that you were all at our financial backs and gave us one less thing to stress about.

I purchased GOOS about a month ago on your recommendation. Since then you seem to be touting DOO more strongly. I don't normally chase stocks but I was wondering in this case if you feel a much stronger case can be made for DOO over GOOS? I only ask in this situation because I have always been leery of discretionary stocks - particularly those that are fashion related - because tastes can change very quickly, I am a buy and hold investor so I am not looking for a just quick flip.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Alimentation Couche-Tard:

In a past question you had indicated that you did not feel this would become a "yield stock" in the future. So I am assuming there is still plenty of runway for this company with their present business model. Or do you think they will need to expand on this model to continue growth ? I know they've entered the Asian market. Perhaps this is their answer (?).

Final question. If shareholders are anxious for an acquisition, do they have an acceptable balance sheet at this time to pull one off in the near term?

Q: I am trying to add some growth in my spouse's RRSP. She has 5-6 years to go before withdrawing. She is lacking in Consumer Discretionary/Cyclical. I have been looking at ATZ as a possibility. People pay $70 for a pair of cotton blend sweat pants?! Incredible.
Is it the on-line component that is driving this company? As it is back to it's highs in Feb when C-19 struck, there appears to be something to it. Could you explain again 5i's take/ Thank you. Stephen S

Q: Is AC a good buy with near term upside at current price, given recent dilution from very large equity issue, major input cost like jet fuel going up and uncertain timing of path to recovery in air travel?
Thank you,
