Q: Hi Peter and Team,

What is the long term value of CCL.B? With the recent quick rise in the stock price tied to decent earnings, it looks like its at the top of the range it has been trading in since about 2016.... I think we've been holding this in the 5i model portfolio since 2010 which is great.

I am wondering if we have realized most of the potential here and this money could be redirected elsewhere that has a higher differential between the current price and the long term value?

Q: Your Feb 22nd answer to Chris was incorrect. That probably was a result of a wrong article in CBC or GLOBE about a dividend cut. It labelled the company as DIR.UN, but in reality the dividend cutter was D.UN.
DIR.UN has not cut - or raised ! - its dividend in the last 10 years.

Q: I have a question about HPS. This is a small company that seems to have recently come on your radar, noting staggering growth in a stable market. With this growth rate it is still small, just cresting the 1B market value recently.
What is making it so successful? It seems like a ‘boring’ low tech company. What is its future expected growth and what is its addressable market?
Any comments would be helpful to understand how electrical infrastructure widgets became such a big new thing.

Q: Good Morning
I have done well with Kinaxis but have become impatient with the returns over the last couple of years. Can you recommend an alternative? I am considering swapping out for TVK and HPS.A.
thank you

Q: Hello,

I own IAG and it recently missed earnings expectations by 5% and, as a consequence, the market reaction was brutally punitive. How can you compare IAG's overall financial strength to larger Canadian Insurers, say IFC and MFC, and are there overall reasons to worry apart from the market's bad quarter reaction ?

Q: Why is CAE struggling. With a large backlog and with little competition in its sector shouldn't it be profitable? Is there a management problem? Where do you see it going in the future? Buy or sell?
As well, what is your opinion of ATS going forward?
Thanks for your continued expertise Stephen

Q: What are your top buys (3) right now if you were investing in a mix of growth, quality, and somewhat reasonable valuation? With your answer/explanation can you include fwd p/e or whatever relevant metrics vs peers?

Also, what's a quality stock or two you'd like to buy but would want to see come down a bit/something you'd be looking to pick up in a broad market selloff?

Q: Hi 5i team. Your thoughts on switching ATS for either BYD or TVK. Looking for growth over extended time frame in a non registered account. Worry about the recent run up of BYD and TVK and wondering if I should wait for a pull back or if I should just stay the course after ATS pull back. Not looking to add another position in my already heavy industrial holdings.

Thank you
