Investment Q&A

Q: Hello,

I am considering investing in PBH as it checks off the right boxes and it is one of your favorites.
However, looking at other similar co's MTY & MFI they seem to offer similar dividends and growth, tgey are both also trading close to the same lower range as PBH.
Could you provide insight on why these are lagging the food retailers who are trading at highs.
Thank you

Q: Looking to setup a very concentrated TFSA to drive long term capital gains. Currently holding the above names. TSU has not been nearly as exciting as the other names. Is TSU going to provide outsized capital gains? My thinking is to sell TSU and allocate the funds to the other names equally. If there are others names you would recommend pls do share.

Q: Hi, I know these 4 companies are quite different, but would be curious to learn your views on the pros and cons if each while looking at overall capital gains over the next 3+ years. Thanks for your service.

Q: Hi,
I own TT, PWR, HEI and TT. Looking to add to this industrial theme, if you think that's a good idea? I need a stock that's in a reliable sector without gut wrenching volatility. What do you advise? Are there CDN stocks you'd recommend?

Q: This question is about small TFSA with 98% Canadian equities with 32.06% total weight in the technical sector. Weight for LMN, SHOP and DSG are close to 5i Bal portfolio but CSU is at 14.8% (Thank you). All these names are at profit.

Question 1 -I am contemplating selling CSU to reduce Canadian exposure and buying MSFT or NVDA What is your opinion of such a move? Any other suggestions in technical space?

Question 2 - This TFSA has no exposure in Consumer Staples. Would you suggest buying COST instead of US technical name? Any other suggestions and entry price?

Much Thanks for your very valuable comments.

Q: On the last quarter conference call there was a review of the earnings and potential growth in earnings per share in the future. With the organic growth and potential margin improvement from cost cutting, earnout payments dropping in future years, spin out of Provider Solutions and the potential monetization of Circle/Wisp (assuming the money spent on debt reduction and share buybacks). I expect that the earnings should improve significantly in the next two or three years. All of this ignores any acquisitions. If all this happens I figure all is needed is some patience and we should see higher stock price 3 years out perhaps significantly agree?

Q: Hi Peter, Can you provide me with your best table pounding buy in Canada and your best table pounding buy in the US. Please provide reasons for the two stocks.
Thank you

Q: Good morning 5i
You recently published an excellent report on which companies to buy in view of upcoming interest rate cuts. Most of them were companies with dividends and struggling with debt.

If you were to buy a no dividend or low divident Canadian company today, what would it be? Or, perhaps three, ordered from first choice to last?
Thanks

Thanks as always.

Q: Read the Q&As almost daily for several years now.
Senior, retired and living on government pensions.
My question is about a growth-oriented TFSA cash allocation of about 10k or less than .75% of total equity portfolio. Will not need the funds for another 34 months.
Understand you cannot indicate position size or provide personal advice.
Current TFSA holdings in order of largest %age gain to biggest losers in TFSA is: TFII, TRI, DIR.un, DSG, KXS, LMN, TOI, TVK, EQB, DOL, DOO, PMZ.un, TIXT, REAL, S, HOT.un, EGLX. Top 10 are in excess of 1.50% of position size. Bottom six are headed for exit ramp in due course.
Across entire non-reg and TFSA portfolio am underweight Cons Cycl, COMMS, Industrials, Healthcare and international multi-sector.
Pondering adding to existing or a new TFSA position to add to the 40-plus I already have. So how would YOU allocate this 10K today?

Q: Thoughts on the quarter please?

Thx
