Q: In an April 2nd answer pertaining to a question about PBH, you stated that it is not cheap at 27X earnings. Both TD WaterHouse & 5iResearch’s company page states PBH’s P/E ratio is about 44X. Does the 27X figure refer to the forward P/E. If it does, from where did you obtain that figure & is it possible for 5iResearch clients to have access to companies forward P/E ratios. Thanks … Cal

Q: Hello 5i, I am up over 70% on this company. So I am wondering if it is time to consider selling or should I accumulate more. It's still under 5% of my portfolio. Do you see any reason to sell? What is your assessment of the company. They seem to be doing all the right things for some growth. Do you see anything in the near term that could cause some downward pressure? Thanks for your service..

Q: What are your 5 best picks for dividend growth stocks with an appropriate valuation?

Q: Hi team,

I'm putting money towards my TFSA (10K) and was wondering what you think would be the best way to invest it. I was considering starting with 5 stocks: PBH, SIS, CSU, KXS, TOY. My second thought was choosing 2-3 of those stocks and adding in ETF's. Thirdly, I was thinking to invest investing fully into ETF's. I would say that I'm in between balanced and growth in terms of risk.

What are your thoughts? And if the ETF route, which would you recommend?

Thanks in advance,

Jon

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan and Team,

Q: If they missed earnings by a wide margin, .62 vs expected .91, and also missed badly on revenue, would you know why the stock is up over 3% and not down big?

Q: In your recent answer regarding Premium Brand's earnings, you mentioned earnings expectations was 71 cents. I thought expectations was 91 cents. Can you confirm it was 71 cents? Perhaps I am mistaken.

Q: Please comment on earnings.

Thanks!

Q: I realize these are different companies and somewhat hard to compare. I am down 24% on UNS, and since I am looking for growth would you hold or switch to SJ? Is there anything else that you would recommend irrespective of risk/industry?

1st question, In your opinion, should I sell any of the above stocks, if so which ones.
Which additional stocks would you recommend for me to purchase
Thanks for your guidance. John

Q: Hi!
I'm concerned about the potential for a looming recession in the context of increasing interest rates, especially in the US. As a way to hedge against increasing interest rates and to protect against downside risk, I was wondering if you could recommend some high growth, high dividend paying stocks, US or Canada?
Thanks!

Q: I have held SAP for a number of years and it seems to be essentially flat. The only other consumer staple I hold is ATD.B. I am contemplating a purchase of PBH. Does this seem reasonable? Joe

Q: Hello 5i what are the estimates for doo, dol, pbh. Thanks Kim

Thanks
