Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on the fundamentals of GSY and your opinion as a buy at today's price. Also having checked the INK Insider Report there seems to have been a lot of selling. Could you comment on this as well as total insider holdings. I know that GSY is in the business of lending money but does it also have debt and if so then is it a manageable amount.
Thanks.

Q: Hi.
I bought GSY last year March - April when “the baby was being thrown out with the bath water”. My average cost was about $30. I sold at around $100. After I sold , I realized I did the most foolish thing. I didn’t need to sell , so why did I, was the question that kept bugging me. I sometimes can’t fathom why I do foolish things with my stocks. I told myself it’s not the end of the world and I can still buy the stock at around $127.( today’s price-April 9th). This time i Intend to hold for at least 5 years, or even longer. What are your thoughts on GSY over the next 3-5 years?
Thanks ,

Q: MELI seems to have lost its mojo and I'm looking a stock to complement my tech strong portfolio.

Do you think finances are a good recovery play? Do you like BAC as a finance play?

What sectors companies do you like?

2020 was good to me as i was all in tech.
Time to broaden my selection.
Thanks for all your support.

Q: For a stock price to double in 5 years requires an average gain of about 15% compounded, annually. Would you please rank these 12 stocks in order for the likelihood, in your opinion, they will double in price in the next 5 years. Roughly how many of these 12 would you expect to achieve that target? Assuming no major long term market melt down which would preclude good stock performance over this period. CTS, DCBO, DND, DOO, ECN, GOOS, GSY, KXS, MG, NVEI, PHO, TIXT.

Q: I've got ~$20K coming into my RRSP. What 4-5 companies would 10 years from now me be really happy that current me invested in tomorrow? Not necessarily looking to find the next Shopify (although I wouldn't be upset if I did) but rather strong names that you have the most confidence in over the next 10 years.

Thanks

Q: Based on recent market movements, if you have to pick 3 - 5 companies to buy (Canada or US, irregardless of risk), which ones would you pick?

Q: Hello,

A long time ago, Peter was on Market call and he mentioned a few criteria, which in his books, would make a stock a recommendation.
And then as one of the top picks, which met all those criteria, was STN.
Out of all those criteria, I remember:
1) a company had no dividend and just introduced one;
2) significant insider holding/buying.
3) no debt.

Could you please let me know if the criteria I listed above is correct + if there were other criteria as well?
Also, could you please recommend a few companies in both Canada and in US, which met all those criteria (relatively) recently?
It would be really appreciated companies from different industries/sectors please.

Thank you
