Investment Q&A

Q: I'm a little late to the party on Boyd as it has already had quite the run-up. On a go forward basis would you still recommend initiating a position at these levels?

Thanks

Q: do you consider the share offering that just came out for the company one you would be comfortable taking. Seems to be about 2.00 under the current price.

Q: Peter- In light of the secondary offering where the fund receives no proceeds of it but it goes to the long standing shareholders. Is that the unit holders? Wishful thinking and/or an opportune time cash out re meanyond meat craze?Thanks. Rod

Q: Which company would you prefer and why? Thanks.

Q: Please comment on earnings

Q: KXS over the last 2 days has fallen 10% after hitting a recent high of 82. Do you think it can get back into the 80's by the next quarter? Thanks again, Dennis

Q: I had been waiting for Stantec's quarterly numbers to see if they had finally turned things around. It turns out they were released last week and given there was little fanfare and that the stock price did not pop, I assume the results were nothing special. Given the solid numbers WSP just announced, is it time to throw in the towel on STN and move over to WSP or do you see upward movement for STN?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Do you think that Medison will now start selling off their considerable position in GUD? I know it's not in their interest to dump quickly and crash the price, but I can't see them being supportive of the company going forward. How do you see this playing out now?

Q: Question on Tsgi financial expectation, Your answer to Robert, EPS $0.41 and Revenue $613M. Your answer to Donald on May 8 was EPS $0.44 and Revenue $638. so does it mean company miss earning estimates? Would it affect share price tomorrow? Your thoughts please, thank you

Q: I'm considering cutting a loser to invest in something new that has some growth. SIS, PBH, and TOY have been poor performers for me for a while now and have been dragging down my returns. If I thought the issues were temporary for all 3 of them I would hold and wait it out but I've found each of them has been less than impressive. SIS with the equity raises and mgmt that I'm losing faith in, PBH with a million excuses as to why each quarter has negative surprises (weather, swine flu, minimum wage,etc), and TOY with disappointing numbers that seem to be getting worse with no real catalyst to get back to growth (Toysrus overhang, diminishing sales in their top sellers that are getting stale, no replacement "home run" product to turn things around. These 3 seem to no longer be growth stocks, do you think I should cut any of the three or give them some more time?

Q: Could you please provide financial expectations for tsgi release out tomorrow.

Q: Hello team,
Your comments pls. on WSP Q1 report. I need to add to my industrials (according to Port. Analytics). Good time to add?
Thank you!

Q: Anything to worry about CCL.B before Q1 results tomorrow?
Thx!

Q: Hi 5i,
Can you recommend a good time to complete a tax loss sell on the following securities: TSGI, TV, TOY, GC. Will be buying back in either TFSA or RRSP in 30 days (If one security does not need to be rebought please feel free to comment).

Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i - I have a small position in GC - is it time to go all in (5% position)? Thanks, Neil

Q: Really enjoy your opinions. Keep up the great work.

What 3 stocks in your balanced portfolio (if any) would be your top choices to buy right now?

Q: Hi, Could you please post earning estimates for these companies. Thanks

Q: WEF has been in losing ground for a year, and seems to have been range-bound for the four years previous. Do you think that yet more bad news on duties is already priced-in, or could things get quite a bit worse from here? Interestingly, Tier 2 data shows a disproportion of bids (vs asks) close-by the trading price; I would have thought this implied buyer confidence in future prospects - yet the price is not being supported.

Q: NFI seems to have fallen below its 50 day moving average on Friday. Assuming that its cash flow can still maintain the current dividend level, and management does not cut that rate, would you consider NFI to be a decent "bottom fishing" candidate?

Your insight is much appreciated.

Q: I would like to know what the Management and employees have been doing other than collect salaries for the past 5 years, other than a few small acquisitions and filings with the authorities it seems to me that they do not deserve much compensation. I can't see them "working" 50+ hours a week looking at investments day in and day out year after year. What have they been doing? Goodman raised a ton of money at $10.50 or $11.00. I would like to see Goodman and his management team paid a salary of $1 per annum (just as Steve Jobs did) and be paid with stock options, not at the current value but at $10.50 or $11.00. I have put my faith in this guy but like a lot of shareholders I think its time to move on from Goodman and his underperforming company. Goodman's talk of an overnight success for my grandchildren does not give me much comfort. I was hoping for more of a shake up yesterday and was disappointed it did not occur. The fact that his Dad owns a company that competes with Knight was something new that I did not know when I purchased GUD shares.
