Q: The share price has been drifting down since early 2022 and is now just above a 2.5 year low. Sales growth has been ok but EPS has been drifting down. I bought it around $50 and am becoming impatient with it. Is there another stock in the same industry you would recommend as a substitute?

Q: I liked the answer you gave to one of the members today on how to deal with volatility. Buy good companies run by good people at attractive valuations and hold for the long term. My question is:
What Canadian companies would you consider best fit the bill today? If you can give me 10 companies that would be super helpful.

Q: What are your thoughts on GDI? I know you still hold it in your growth portfolio but the stock has pretty much traded in a flat range for the last 2.5 years. Up 32% but only around a 1% position. I'm patient but thinking of selling and adding to other names with more growth potential, names like LMN, KXS, ATZ, CROX, WELL, NVEI, TOI, SHOP, etc.... What are the catalysts to move this stock and what do you still like/dislike about the fundamentals? Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i,
I own these four industrial stocks. Could you please rank them for growth?
Do you feel it necessary to own all of them or is it logical to consolidate.
Lastly, are there any US names you would rank higher than these?
Thanks for you insight!

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on the fundamentals of Questor including cash reserves, level of debt, earnings etc. With this in mind, is it strong enough to weather a continued market slump in growth stocks. Does it have the potential for growth. Also can you provide your opinion on management, its background experience and its holdings of common shares. Has there been any significant insider trading lately. If I decide to finally move on from this stock do you have any suggestions for a replacement growth stock, not necessarily in the same sector.
