Investment Q&A

Q: I see you've made comments about the quarter but I have another. For a 3 to 5 year position would you be ok with averaging down? I know you don't encourage "averaging down" per se, but I guess I'm asking if you still feel optimistic about long term prospects of the company

Q: Hi 5i
I read your comments on recent DOO earnings...given your response highlighting slowing economy, share buybacks ect, would you be comfortable holding...I understand one qtr earnings loss does not constitute a trend , but the rush to the exits is of course worrisome,,,,,does your thesis change for this one?.

Recently acquired position.... Held on RRSP so no opportunity for tax loss selling..however 2 year outlook.

thx
jim

Q: Your comments on third quarter results?

Q: I just dumped DOO for tax loss and need a proxy in that C Discretionary space. Can you advice on a couple of options?

I suspect some C Discretionary CO’s might have some momentum here as well.

Q: I have seen several analysts commenting recently on how undervalued small cap stocks are compared to larger cap stocks. Some saying we are at the cheapest levels they have ever seen for small caps. If you were to put together a portfolio of 10-12 Canadian small cap stocks intending to benefit from a return to more typical valuations, which stocks would you include? Not thinking about highest risk types, like early phase biotech, exploration stage mining companies, but rather, for high quality, profitable, growing businesses.

Q: With the new TFSA limit, how would split into 4 purchases with a 20 year hold. Assuming RRSP is diversified and with no other holdings. Does BAM, BN or TOI hit your radar. Also, I am retiring in 20 years. Thanks as always.

Q: Hello, I have some money to deploy and have picked the above lucky 13 stocks. Are you able to put them in order in which you would purchase them (1 to 13). I know there is a wide range of companies, industries and cap size. This would be in a cash account and looking for capital gains over the next 3 years. I'm okay with lots of risk in this account.

Q: TIHor DOO which do you prefer today for growth over the short term.

Thank you as always for this great service.

Q: Reading recently one of members question about rating growth and risk of DOO, HPS and MG, how about adding ATS to the list as well which hasn’t behaved well lately. Could you please rate them all together ?

Thanks,

Q: Hi ,
Can you please rate these names in terms of growth and risk from 1-10.
Minimum 5 year hold.
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
Given that interest rates appear to have peaked, please rank the above list for:
1. Growth only
2. Your buying preference.
Thank you
Dave

Q: We're well into tax loss season. What looks like the best Canadian investments today? I'm a balanced investor - 83 years old, not needing the money and wanting top gift the children.

Q: As a dividend growth investor I'm looking for one more (non-financial) growth company to add to my group that already includes ATD and CNR. I've done a side-by-side comparison of the following three outlining concerns for each:

FSV - Reasonable debt levels. In a recession, perhaps the strongest of the three (?), but always expensive.

SJ - Arguably a bit of a moat, reasonable debt. But by already owning CNR, does it make sense to own a company whose business includes railway ties?

DOO - Great growth, nice dividend growth, and very attractive moat. But what about that debt ?...and in a recession who is going to buy those "toys" ?

Not looking for personal advice, but I would welcome any comments on the concerns I've mentioned. Thanks.

Q: Thx for the heads up on CLS in early May. Looking at insider buying by CEOs and CFOs do you see anything of interest at present? Anything of interest from the growth porfolio with significant insider buying?

Thx

Q: My Consumer Descretionary % is a bit low.

1. I'm a little gun shy buying this sector right now due to economy slowing in the face of higher interest rates. It seems the consumer may be struggling here for awhile. Would you bump up a low sector waiting right now or just wait 6-12 months?

2. How would you currently rank the following watchlist for capital appreciation over the next year+? Are there some you would not really consider Consumer Descretionary - seems to be quite a range of business.


SHOP, QSR, ATZ, DOO, TSLA, MG, AMZN, ULTA, CELH, BKNG, GLBE, CROX.

Q: I've got 20K to invest in some growth. How do you feel about splitting the funds between these two companies?

Q: What are some stocks that could do really well with AI becoming more and more available ?

Q: Do you see any pound the table buys out there? I am holding bn, ge and cpng as they appear to have a nice risk - reward ratio. What I am looking for are stocks that have potential and present attractive entry points. I was considering Nxst for example.

Thanks as always.

Q: Please comment on latest results and going forward.Appears to have beaten Eps & Revenue estimates and yet the stock price is down $1.52 t0 $100.48 after initial H $109.Is this an opportunity to add in this environment of fear of higher rate & potential slowdown in the economy. Txs for U usual great services & views.

Q: I believe rates in Canada have hit their ceiling, alternatively the consequences get dire for many reasons. With this belief what would be your top 3 stocks for the next 12-24mths, particularly as rates begin to decline. Thank you as always.
