Q: Hi team,

Would you be able to suggest a couple of stocks with value, momentum and a chance for higher pricing or spending either in Canada or US. I have some cash but I am hesitant at current valuations in general.

Thank you as always!

Q: Good Morning Folks,

I own half positions in several companies - AFN, AC, TCL.A and NFI. Do you think now would be a good time to increase some or all to full positions?

Thanks for your assistance.

Q: Hi, Transcontinental Ltd was recommended by some Portfolio Managers in the past, and has been on my watch list for some time. But it was Ryan's recommendation on BNN, last week that caught my attention. Although, company slowly started to divest of its printing/media assets over past 2 years and was making small acquisitions in packaging industry, but it was the Coveris purchase in April this year, which made most analysts to take note resulting in the stock earning a few upgrades. However, it looks like that brokerages are still not fully convinced of the true potential of this company although packaging should be close to 50% of company's business, post this acquisition.
Is this the debt level or the execution risk or the Management's capability and expertise or any other factors, in your view, which still has Bay street on the sidelines?
Identifying companies with huge inherent/untapped value and growth potential, at early stages has rewarded investors generously, in past. There are several examples in 5i portfolios, a few being, CSU, PBH and BYD.un. Do you see such signs with TCL.a ?

We own most of Bal Portfolio companies including CCL.b and RPI.un in packaging sector and are interested to add Transcontinental for above reasons (and more importantly, the fact that you like it). Would a 3% position be reasonable and is it prudent to buy a part position at current prices and wait for June 7 results (or 5i full report) for the balance ?

Thank You for your valued advice.

Q: Morning 5I Team,
I was curious to ask what your opinions were about Cascades. The company is currently undervalued P/B, however the only issue is it's debt load. I really like how they own a majority stake in an Italian packaging company, which could grow significantly with the rise of online shopping in Europe.
If not, could you give any recommendations in this similar industry? (Boring and under the radar)
Thank you,
