Investment Q&A

Q: If LMN was sold what stock would you replace this one with?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i, here goes another CSU family Q.


Yesterday you mentioned a 10% drop would not surprise you. Well it's here. Based on your ability to use Bloomberg and other valuation tools, where do see the next floors down in the elevator so to speak. And based on these two events in the past week, how long will the family be in the dog house? Also I'm asking this on the assumption you are still fans. Thx.

Q: What are your thoughts on how overvalued AI stocks are and what factors we should be concerned about that could cause the bubble to burst?

What are some good ideas for relatively safe stocks and etfs to hedge against a AI and tech weighted portfolio?

Q: I thought I had a core holding with CSU but it is at the one year bottom. Still worth holding? comments please
Also, comments on LMN and TOI are appreciated.
Deduct many question points please.

Q: Best pick of these for growth opportunity?

Q: With the 3 stocks going down the last few months, could it be that they went down not because of AI concerns but instead there was a leak that the CEO was ill and would be stepping down?
Thanks

Q: We sincerely wish for a speedy recovery for Mark Leonard. Mark brought immense wealth to millions of retail investors, through his wisdom and unparallel business acumen, over past 20 years.

What could be the likely impact of Mark Leonard's resignation on Lumine and Topicus companies and their shares ? Do you believe that the two spinco's are also at the risk of losing their premium valuations, like we are witnessing with CSU shares ?

Or, since they are a little insulated with this development being independent units, with their own CEO's ?

What would you do with the two holdings?

Thank You

Thank You

Q: Hello Team,

Looking at adding some funds to CAN stocks I already own, are you able to rank these in order from 1 to 14 based on a 3-4 year hold, I'm not worried about company size or industry. Thanks!

Q: Thanks for the blog link on CSU. My focus is on LMN.

Can Leonrad's comments be directly translated to LMN's outlook as well? Do you see any differences in potential risk for LMN ? Do you have any experience in this type of investment uncertainty where a floor is eventually established on stock price when it simply becomes too hard to resist (I acknowledge this one is a bit of a predictive question ! ).

Q: With the recent pull back, what would be a good entry price.

Q: Hello,
The blog on the CSU call was well written and overall I thought the company was just being realistic, yet the three stocks especially CSU and LMN have taken a hit. It looks like investors just want positive views on AI rather than a balanced view. Is it a good time to load up? Much appreciated.

Q: Hi 5i, First a big thanks for your blog report on CSU's meeting to discuss AI impact on their businesses. Do you think the markets will re-rate these companies? If you owned these companies what would you do going forward? Will this impact your weightings in the 5i portfolios? Thx.

Q: Have more than a 100% gain on these two companies, is it time to take some profit?

Q: Seems investors are not impressed by CSU and continue to sell off all these names. I have around a 10% allocation to the family (4% CSU, 4% LMN, 2% TOI). I'm contemplating reducing my positions and adding to MDA, ZDC, CLS, ISRG, TOU. What are your thoughts? I'm concerned because CSU and LMN are one of the larger positions in my portfolio. Thank you!

Q: These stocks are all losing ground lately in my portfolio. Please reply in what order and at what price you would add to them I want to ensure I add valve at this point;

Also should i add to my holding in GDXJ? or start a position a silver stock (please recommend several in order of preference ) same recommendation for US bank ETF....Thanks

Q: All 3 stocks have recently been down and are continuing to drop today (Tuesday). Your blog on the CSU/Leonard call about AI recapped what was said and indicated premiums assigned to these stocks may be lowered. Looks like it's now underway. I was hoping for more thought on what might happen in the future? As many of your customers own these stocks, it would be nice if 5i could issue quick reports on them. Are they still rated high or have they gone down a notch, or two or three? Are they rated buy, hold or sell? Where does 5i see these stocks' prices in 3, 6 and 12 months from now? I realize there are many unknowns and predicting the future is tough, but 5i has done this generally quite well in the past. These 3 stocks appear to widely held and deserve more attention at this time.

Q: Hello, please tell me of the comparable at current price which one that you would choose for total return for a 1-3 year hold and a 3-5 year hold. Also if you could provide a brief reason why would be appreciated.

1 IFC or SLF
2 PRL or GSY
3 CNR or TFII
4 LMN or SHOP
5 CSU or BN or TRI
6 PNG or ZDC
7 KSI or VHI

Thank you

Q: I own the above listed Canadian stocks. Please rate each one as a BUY, HOLD or SELL and let me know your reasons for the rating you have given to it. Thank You.

Q: I own all three of these and am considering consolidating to simplify my portfolio. Would you recommending holding any one vs another or keeping all three.

Q: Which ones (if any) would you buy and hold and forget for 10 years?
