Q: Hi, Can you please provide your opinion on current valuation, growth prospects and a decent entry level to start a new position? It was mentioned that stock has seen a run up in its price and may need to consolidate. Actually, just within last 10 days, it has shot up almost 10%, since it was added to 5i Growth Portfolio ( Kudos to your team for the Great selection and Excellent timing !!! }. Thank You

Q: Adding new money into the Income Portfolio- Hello, I am adding new money to the Income Portfolio in my TFSA. Would you suggest/list the top 5is ( 5 investments!!) timely buys at this time, with a time frame of 2-3 years and overall return perspective?
Also, would you consider making this a feature in monthly portfolio reports - like top 2-3 buys? Thanks

Q: In the chart "Portfolio Total Return with Benchmark as Base (%) 5-Yr" in your monthly portfolio reports, why does it change for a given date from month to month? For example, at 2022-1-1 in the Mar 31, 2023 Growth report it is about 50%. But in the Sep 30, 2023 Growth report at 2022-1-1 it drops well below 50%. Is this not the cumulative excess return over the benchmark for the 5 year period ending 2022-1-1 in both charts and therefore it shouldn't change? Thank you.

Q: Could you please outline the main risks to Dream Industrial REIT. I am also confused because over 2.5 years their P/E has gone from 4 to 24, yet their stock price has dropped (~$16 to $13) and their earnings have increased (as I understand it). Please correct me if I am wrong. Also, do I have it right that their NAV is ~$17? Do you know their average interest costs and if/when that might increase significantly? Other than those debt questions, and the sector, I'm wondering what I'm missing with this stock continuing to drop. Thank you.

Q: Not sure if I understand correctly the transactions by insiders during the last few months. The corporation has bought and sold large amounts of shares. Individuals have bought and sold some as well. Looking at the overall number of shares traded I am not so sure that the result is positive. A second question is about the forcasts for next year (02/25) profit more than double. Is that realistic in your opinion and if so the stock is currently selling at 13 X next year's PE. I'm underwater in a registered account so no tax selling benefit. Buy more ? Wait for the next earnings release?

Thank you for your great advise.

Yves

Q: How would you rank these three companies as to best value, moat, and revenue growth over the next 3 -5 years? I'm leaning toward Descartes Systems but their P/E is fairly high compared to peers and the industry. Thanks.

Q: Thx for the heads up on CLS in early May. Looking at insider buying by CEOs and CFOs do you see anything of interest at present? Anything of interest from the growth porfolio with significant insider buying?

Thx
