Investment Q&A

Q: I added this stock a few days ago and I am already down more than 60%. Should I take the loss or hold?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

It seems like your current view, including from your monthly commentary, is that small and mid caps are continuing to look attractive and the forward returns are historically attractive after past US elections. With this in mind, something I struggle with is a large proportion of my portfolio is in large cap stocks, including 10% of my portfolio in NVDA. A lot of this is due to the strength in large caps since 2022 and my bias has been to continue to hold them at a higher percentage as they have provided strong returns over the past few years. Although, these large caps, including NVDA continue to grow and execute my feeling is that I should trim stocks like NVDA down to 5% and use those excess proceeds to invest further funds into small and mid caps to potentially capitalize on the large gap in valuations between small and mid caps and other tailwinds like declining interest rates. For a growth investor with 20+ years of investment horizon would you recommend going the route of trimming NVDA and other large cap winners to a 5% portfolio weight and re-allocate into small and mid caps?

Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: There is a yahoo article on WELL:
https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/well-health-technologies-tse-well-121138131.html?guccounter=1

Could you comment on it?

I have less then 1% position on Well (up 10% but only with lots of perseverance) but i am considering going to 2.5% given it is a small cap. I know you don't comment on size but given recent stock movement would it be your comfort zone to add at this price?

Q: Which of these two would you invest in today and why, for a growth investor who can tolerate risk.

Thanks

Q: hi folks:

Q: Who are the major clients of Firan

Q: Can I have your general thoughts on ATKR? Also, more specifically can you comment on 2 things 1) debt and2) timing. I have been watching it and can imagine some tax loss selling impact the share price. However the turn yesterday was interesting and I am tempted to take a half position now in case interest outpaces any tax loss selling and maybe add to it in late December or early January. Does this seem like a reasonable course of action? Please and Thank-you.

Q: Another Canadian company (KUT.v) taken private.

Looking in to your crystal ball, over the next 1-3 years what are some other Canadian companies that you consider prime candidates to be acquired?

Q: If you needed to put together a portfolio of Canadian stocks with a market cap under $5 billion, to try to generate the best possible return over the next 3-5 years, which companies would you include? Maybe 7 or 8 names.

Q: Last week on BNN I thought Peter mentioned that PRL probably would revert to the lower $30's per share before resuming it's increase in share value. Is this a general thought among the 5iR staff?

Q: Hello to 5 i's. I have a small position in SVM (silver crest metals) which was nicely in the green until recently and then late last week it took a big hit to the downside with the announcement of some financing to build out a new mine and a new juristriction (equador). The financing is convertible debt due in 2030 at 4.75 per cent. The stock has to go up about 30 per cent until it can convert to equity. It doesn't seem too bad for me but it seems there are people much smarter than me who sold with that announcement. Do you think the debt that SVM secured is not appropriate/or there is a better way to finance? Or are people selling for another reason, such as , exposure to Equador is too risky/SVM has built 8 mines and 3 processing plants only in China and have no experience in Latin America/ less bullish on precious metal pricing on a go forward basis, or some else? I am tempted to double my small position since the company has no debt (actually they are net cash on the balance sheet and minority equity position in New Pacific Metals, and they operate profitably. does 5 i think SVM, at current share price, is a good option for silver mining exposure?

Q: Hi Peter, chart is steady from the lower left to the upper right and it's a home USA industrial; keep holding ? Thank you.

Q: PNG is interesting. Can you expand a bit of the statement "Profit fell 29% on higher financing costs". Is this something to be concerned about? Do you forsee it going lower or staying steady in the 2.15 - 2.20 range for a bit until next earnings which could show better numbers?
