Investment Q&A

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

Q: The shares continue to drift down with a yield approaching 10%, usually something that I have, in the past, viewed with some concern. I wanted to see how previous earnings were trending and to my surprise there are, at least in my sources, no earnings posted for year end 2016, nor for the first and second quarters of this year. They were scheduled for reporting in March, May, and August. What is happening? Why no results? And is this connected with what is happening with the shares?

Q: Been in SIS since 6 Thanks to you. Enjoying the ride and how Company has Grown. You were right on for the last acquisition that ended up being for Span America.
Given the Situation that Savaria sits at now. Where do you see their Plans moving ahead. Plus any other small cap companies like how SIS was couple of years ago that you like right now. Thanks. Barry.

Q: I would like to add to my industrials and can't decide between these two companies. I know you like both. Is there anything that suggests one over the other? I am wondering if given I have enough healthcare already, is that enough to influence me to go with NFI as it is the "purer" industrial play?

Appreciate your insight (and really looking forward to the new website!)

Q: 5i is my best source for Canadian investment information so I naturally turn here for a (possibly) difficult-to-answer question.

A guest on today’s BNN Market Call mentioned as an alternative to Shopify a small, growing company that sounded like “Hop-spot” or “Hot-spot”, but didn’t show or indicate a stock symbol. I searched for the symbol using a range of what I thought are plausible alternative spellings but turned up nothing.

With your encyclopedic grasp of what’s available to Canadian investors, could you point me in the right way to this (probably small-cap) stock?

Thanks

Q: Hello Peter/Ryan & Team,

I do need to apologize to everyone about CLS. I decided to finally buy it so naturally the 12% decline the next day would happen. But I have smartened up and only started with a quarter position.

And you would think that I should start to smarten up about buying into negative momentum, but with that said, do you think I should be adding in the next couple months to get to a full position or wait off until momentum improves?

Thank you for all you do.

Q: Hi 5i
Thanks for the service

I purchased TV recently seeing the momentum but clearly that has stopped.
With a purchase price higher than latest close and technical view of chart shows price breaking down, does one get out and wait for some pain to pass?

Chart movement indicates it could easily get back to $1.10; offering me a significant loss on initial purchase.

Would you please add some thoughts on the negative price action for this name?

Q: Hi Peter, I am looking for a growth replacement for CLS and it can come from any of your portfolios. Please suggest your top 3 or 4. I already own PHO, PUR, TV and ZCL in a 29 stock portfolio. Time frame 1-3 year hold.

Many thanks for your candid advice. It has served me well for over 4 years now and I have renewed my membership for 2 more years.
