Investment Q&A

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

Robert

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

Q: TIXT continues to drop (today down around 10%) with no news that I can find. Are you aware of any reason for the significant drop? Also, what is your take on how the senior executive team at Telus could have got this so wrong?

Q: Today INMD released another negative update for their upcoming earning release. Rev's dropped again, and they've lowered guidance again. They say due to stronger than expected head winds, again. I know the margins are strong, and they have a ton of cash, but the business keeps declining. Would you consider this one a hold to see if they turn things around or is it time to exit? Thx

Q: Hi again. This is the question I tried asking last night and kept receiving a note for a Server Error.
I added in my contribution to my TFSA yesterday. I was thinking of adding in.a new position in ZDC or topping up 2 of the other names. If you suggest adding to 2 of the above, what would your 2 top choices be and why?
Thanks David.

Q: Hi, I live in BC where the above companies were just awarded 3 wind projects each totaling about 550MW with 30 year electricity purchase agreements from BC Hydro. (First Nations will have at least 51% ownership of the projects.) Both companies pay a good dividend, but seem to have seen better days. I am just wondering whether you answer questions about companies this small and if so what do you think of their current state of affairs and prospects for the future?

Q: In the past when I've been down 35% on a stock it was easy to know why, ADF Group has me a little puzzled and am considering throwing in the towel. Thoughts please.

Q: Can you give your updated opinion on COV.V after its run since your comments over 6 months ago? If you were wanting to take a microcap position in these stocks, what order would that be in? Thx

Q: TH TSE $ 3.05 has been moving up. Do they have good drugs . Seems to be gaining attention RAK

Q: Can you give your analysis of HBFG and if you see it as a good investment? If you can include whether the valuation is pricey after the big run up and any concerns with it being on the .CN exchange? Thx
