Investment Q&A

Q: I believe in the products of these two companies but either management has executed poorly or their products are ahead of their time. Once the tax loss season starts, it may be possible to pick them up at even lower prices; however, the risk of going bankrupt also looms in their future. Can management turn these companies around? What is the risk that these two companies go bankrupt before demand for their product increases?

Q: You could have bought this stock anytime in the last 10 years for around $5.50 dollars, its now roughly a 10 banger, don't you feel the opportunity has past. ?
Its a smallish company with very choppy earnings , so any big misses and the stock will get hammered like many others in the growth portfolio.
For a double the stock has to get to around $100. In your view you must be looking at it getting to $200 or $300 to make enough money to garner the risk, considering its long history of being in the doldrums.
Thanks Gord

Q: Hi 5i,
I understand each investor has their own idea of risk but I would be interested in getting your thoughts. In regards to small caps stocks I believe I choose quality at an attractive price with a plan to hold forever (of course they don't always work out and I may eventually sell them). I struggle with whether to buy them in my TFSA and/or NonReg account. TFSA is great if the stock appreciates dramatically and the NonReg is great if I pick a loser and I sell it for a capital loss. Can you perhaps provide some words of wisdom how one can approach this dilemma. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team - Since going public in March of this year SolarBank Corporation's stock price has risen dramatically. Do you think the fundamentals support this or has it perhaps gone too far too quickly. In other words is it best to wait for it to settle down if considering buying. Also do you have any info on insider ownership/trading. Thanks.

Q: Can you please comment on the prospects for this company ?

Q: Hi
I am looking at some tax loss selling. Would BEPC make a good alternate for NPI at this time and can you suggest alternates for CTS and DND as well.
Thanks, Keith

Q: Somebody thinks this is worth $13 a share, and it trades today thanks to failed takeover at less than half that….what to do?? Buy, sell or hold if you have it??

Q: This morning, Opsens received a takeover offer from Haemonetics. Do you think there's any potential for other bidders to offer more than the current $2.90 cash offer?

Many thanks.

Q: Good morning 5i. Any recent news on The Keg.un?
It seems to be on somewhat of a slide lately.

Q: Looks like there is an offer on table.Should I se4ll shares and move on

Q: I'd appreciate an update on your analysis of DBM; previously the high debt load has been ID'd as a concern. If one subscribes to the view that the next year or so will still be weighted down by inflation and interest rate challenges is this a stock to buy now (if at all) or put on the watch list for an upturn?

Q: Can you share your thoughts about OII? It seems that they are a lot more than a supplier to the oil and gas industry.

Q: What is your opinion on HPS.A - is it a worthwhile investment for the long term - is it well run?

Thanks

Q: please comment of DIV acquisition announced after close today oct 4

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on Questor including your opinion on their 2nd quarter results, balance sheet, insider activity. Also could you explain the changes that have been going on recently regarding both the Board and Management. Does it have the management and cash flow/cash reserves to survive a sustained market downturn and possible recession. To me it looks like its technology is something that is very much needed in today's world.

Q: So, after the market closed yesterday, PLC announced they were withdrawing any further involvement in the purchase of Carriage. I would have expected today to be a "down" day...due to the perception that PLC would not be "growing" as per their stated 5 year plan of growth by acquisition (my paraphrase).

However, today PLC is up 4%. Is it due to the market being relieved that PLC is better off not having to add debt to their balance sheet?

A bit confused...thanks...Steve

Q: Hi there,

I read this morning that Steve Hudson founder of ECN recently purchased 500,000 shares. Would you read anything into this other than his belief in the business?

Thanks!

Q: YOU EARLIER INDICATED THAT YOU WOULD SHOW INTEREST IN ABR STOCK IN THE $2.30 RANGE. NOW THAT IT IS AT $2.00 WHAT WOULD BE YOUR OPINION

Q: Hi what would be your choice for a U.S. small Cap momentum ETF

Q: Hi 5i team,

I'm interested in your thoughts on Enovix, a seemingly new technology that is moving to commercialize an improved EV battery. Less fire risk.

ALSO - a suggestion that could be highly useful to subscribers.

The 5i portfolio analytics indicates I have gaps in my sector and stock diversification. I want to easily consider 5i rated (using A+ downward) system. I currently can filter for the year of rating, and 'letter grade' rating which is helpful. It would be super helpful to also be able to filter for sector. As well, what is most relevant to me is which countries the stock revenue comes from....rather than its corporate office location. Is this possible?

As an aside - I have been working with Chat GPT a little. One example is where I uploaded a number of documents and then could interactively apply prompts/questions to the data (uploaded documents) to quickly answer important questions. Having a Chat GPT engine that includes 5i historical research would seemingly be able to cover the suggestion I noted above with little additional or ongoing maintenance. Love to get your thoughts here.

Thank you again for premium service.
