Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi 5i Team - Once again thanks for your calm and to-the-point advice on guiding us through another volatile market situation. This is yet another question on Lightspeed. There are four parts: What is its cash position, does it have debt and if so is it manageable, what are the insider holdings/ has there been any recent buying or selling, does it have a solid management team that can guide it through this turmoil. Thanks.

Q: Toi closed the end of oct at $138. To day it was as low as $98 before recovering slightly.
Do you think Csu and Toi insiders are selling Toi shares to provide funds to the new venture capital fund?
Does Toi have their own acquisition team or do they rely on Csu?
Is Toi restricted to only Europe ?
Would they have enough cash flow to finance an acquisition or will they have to borrow or issue shares?
Finally if one planned to invest $30,000. today in Csu and Toi for at least a a 5 year hold,how should one proportion it?

Q: Have a capital loss on VLDR and am looking to sell for tax planning purposes. There has been a lot of negative news related to the Founder and Management direction for the company and that seemed to have put pressure on the stock as well as other factors. Lidar looks like a good long term technology to invest in, should I consider re-buying VLDR back after 30 days or can you suggest a better opportunity in the space. Your opinion on this is appreciated.

Q: The stock has plummeted from 130 in Sept to 49 today. I don't recall a 5i recco that has fallen so dramatically and ever recovered to where it was.

Obviously the shorts have it right (so far) to be short was the right thing to do.

1)Do you sincerely feel that LSPD will ever recover to where it had been?

2)If yes, what dramatic course of events would do it?

Q: Hi,

I have owned shares of OTEX for several years and have a modest gain in my TFSA. In order to add a bit more growth to my portfolio I am thinking about selling OTEX and buying shares of KXS. Is this a move that would make sense to you or would you replace with something else?

Thanks very much.

Q: I find TOI’s slide puzzling. With no news from TOI can we assume that a portion of the selling is profit taking and some is the downward momentum spurred by such selling? Perhaps there’s no way to know.

I have been considering selling some or all of my CSU position to participate in a TOI upswing, though I hate to part with it, but the gain has been large. TFSA, so no tax implications.

Am I being too greedy, or is this an opportunity?
