Investment Q&A

Q: Hi team,
What’s your current thoughts on Vhi? Valuation wise it currently seems pricey . But , the company recently completed a big offering at near today’s price. So, investors seem to want to pay up for the name. Recently Jason Donville named it as a top pick , with him spouting that it should be a $20 stock in a year. Is this realistic ? I remember when Donville was a small cap god on BNN 10 years ago; at one time he had a good reputation it seemed as a stock picker . He also mentioned that it is the next dsg. Big shoes to full. I guess question is does vhi really have the potential to change the healthcare software sector radically in the next few years ? Does it hold a product ahead of any competition? Is this a name that could be a huge winner in the long run ? I hold a smaller position currently. Wondering if it’s worth a shot adding to the band long term at this level ?

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: Could you please share your thoughts about Paladin as an investment to take advantage of uranium’s uptrend.

I’m a long time Fission shareholder wondering whether to hold on or invest elsewhere.

Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter…Would you buy more GOT now? They seem to be posting excellent grades today. My weighting is 1/2 of 1%. Still maybe I should just let the stock ride. Gold is just so hard to call. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: Your thoughts on big drop today? Buying opportunity?

Q: FRU has revenue from U.S. operations. Might this offer protection against tariffs? Are there Canadian companies with most of their revenue from the U.S.?

Q: Zoomd Technologies (ZOMD) had an important announcement yesterday about adding several major new clients, including the NBA. The stock has climbed 23% in the 2 trading sessions since. Now close to $100 million market cap. Their software seems to have applications to just about any industry involved in digital advertising. Most recent quarterly financial report was very impressive. Wondering what you think of this company's potential.

Q: Looks like NFI has a floor around this level. Think this would the time to start a position?

Q: Outlook for this name?

Q: Hi 5i,

Can i have your opinion on CRNT?

I was conaidering a small position in a bag of small caps but i see no news on the 8% drop.

Thanks

Q: Hi,

Do you have a view as to how the TSX will respond if and when Trump announces 25% tariffs on Canadian goods?

Will oil and gas sector take a hit, like Suncor, and CNQ?

Thanks

Q: Hello 5i
One of the advantages a small investor may have is access to buying small companies where Institutional Investors would not be able to buy a meaningful position. Easy to say that Source Rock Royalties is a tiny company at $40 MM.

As they have been operating since 2013 (public since March 2022) with a successful dividend + Growth Model and never a negative cashflow quarter, would you consider this one a decent play for Royalty Income. The Dividend yield is high (9%) with low payout ratio (60%) and cash on the books ...... so it appears the business and income stream are sustainable.

With a quick review of their financials and business model, do you see anything that would be of concern for an investor looking to take up a position to enhance Portfolio income?

I did notice the prior two Q&A.
Thanks

Q: Tantalus looks like it could be breaking out. Have you seen any news to explain this? I believe you were mildly interested before; has your opinion changed at all?

Thanks for all you do.

Q: You have remained quite positive on Hammond.
Can you advise where their products are produced (I suspect most products for NA are produced in Mexico, therefore subject to any Trump tarries on Mexico, but I may be wrong).
Also do they have the capability of doing some manufacturing in the US

Q: How low would this need to go to become attractive. Is the market already suggesting a dividend cut may be on the way?

Q: Hello 5i
Since last earnings and most recent Q&A in 5i (Nov 7) this share price has been falling.

Is the price action related to the previous earnings miss or earnings growth expectations changing due to business or Tariff concerns?

With a 5 year view on this name, does one just continue to hold through the downside volatility with anticipation for better future earnings and share price?

Thank

Q: A good portion of my smaller cap portfolio weighting is in these 4 stocks. They seem reasonably diverse sector wise but the first three have been trending down for 3 months or more, and EIF seems to be now following suit. From a lot of recent commentary I was thinking small and mid-cap names might have a bit of a tail wind, at least on a valuation basis. I know I shouldn’t focus on 3-6 months but still a bit “vexing” watching them slide. I’ve read the recent q&a on all of them, don’t see any alarming comments really, any new concerns I’m missing?

Q: Can you please rank the above companies for capital appreciation over the next 2-3 years. No worries on Risk or Industry. Thanks again!

Q: Any thoughts, why Hammond Power stock has been hammered over past 3 days, down 10%, with no apparent news except renewed fear of Trump's tariff plans.

How is this Company, likely to be impacted, if 25% tariffs becomes a reality ?

Thank You
