Investment Q&A

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

Q: Sorry for the long list, but that's my IT holdings and I need help to get to a more disciplined IT portfolio. About equal weight, except for SHOP which was owned and is currently on watchlist. Question 1- please advise a limited high conviction IT - does 5 sound about right? It would really help me if you could explain why these are chosen as I want to understand my investments. Question 2 - which ones to sell outright so that can redeploy funds? Any to hold for potential high growth potential?

Q: The CEO of Telesat was interviewed on CBC radio this morning, and he discussed the Lightspeed project in detail. Previously to him, a consultant in the rural Kawartha Lakes area of Ontario described his move away from Starlink.His aversion to Elon Musk propelled him to cancel Starlink even though his replacement through Rogers isn't as good as Starlink was. I suspect this consultant isn't the only one who is disgusted with Musk, (The Ontario government's response is an excellent example.)

Now for my question: Given the toxic nature of Musk, and the need for a truly Canadian option to Starlink, would now be a good time to start to accumulate shares in TSAT? In our case, this would increase our exposure in the Telecom sector, and get in on the ground floor of what sounds like an exciting project.

Thanks as always for your insight.

Q: I realize that you are not much of a fan of DCBO these days given your preference for DTOL and that you removed it from your growth profile. But I'm wondering if this company might be looked at as a potential takeover candidate. Three points to consider:

1. There have been recent articles indicating that the next 18 months could see a real pickup in M&A activity within the Canadian software sector;

2. Following recent earnings, analysts revised their targets for DCBO downwards. Notwithstanding this, the average target is still $72.17, almost 70% higher than our current share price; and

3. Most significantly, two weeks ago, Warburg Pincus LLC anted up over $5.4M to purchase 118K shares (@$45.49) and they now own 12% of the company.

As always, would appreciate your viewpoint.

Q: These really fell out of favour fast. Would you hold? I am inclined to hold and hope for better days unless it would be better to cut losses and get into something that is also down but might have more promise on the upside? Maybe I’m being too emotional and impatient - I am okay to wait it out unless there is some reason to walk.

Thanks,

Jason

Q: We have about a 3.5% position in LMN and are modestly ahead. Our concern is the number of LMN outstanding shares at 257mm. This compares with TOI at 83mm and CSU at 21mm. It appears that CSU is very conservative on number of outstanding shares as compared to their influence on on TOI and LMN. Greatly appreciate if you could comment/explain this.
Much thanks to the 5i team.

Q: These two seem to be in the same "space". I'm not sure if they are competitors. I'm also trying to better understand this crypto market. Both appear to have potential and I understand that they are risky and I assume they both will move with the price of bitcoin.
I would like to have a small position. Do you recomend one over the other or a small position in each. Thanks John
