Investment Q&A

Q: Hi , please rank their short and long term growth potential . thanks.

Q: The listed companies each carry about a 1% weighing in my portfolio. There are no tax implications and I am positive on all of these. I am trying to reduce my overall holdings to about 25. I believe each company has its merits but I will never hit a home run with such a small investment. Can you advise which ones you would keep and consolidate or perhaps suggest something else to put all of the proceeds toward.

Thank you

Q: With inflation increasing and might remain higher than the past few years, I'm wondering if GDI, that I understand generally signs agreements under contact for say 5 years with Municipalities, would have the annual service fees adjusted to changes in inflation. Any idea, or is this a general practice for service providers signing longer-term agreements?......Tom

Q: I'm well represented with banks, tech, and energy. Other than TFII, I own no industry. I want to own 3 of either WS, GDI, TIH, MG, CAR, or CP for the long term, looking for some growth, some dividends and not too much volatility. Which 3 do you suggest and why?

Q: Hi, currently holding these as my industrials, looking to add 1-2% to this sector. Looking for long term growth, would be in RSP. How would you rank these if I were adding? Thanks!
TSE:XBC 2.72%
TSE:WSP 2.41%
TSE:ATA 1.83%
TSE:AC 1.46%
TSE:SIS 1.4%
TSE:GDI 1.2%

Q: Your comments please on the earnings and outlook for GDI, Descartes and Kinaxis.
Thank you

Q: Hello
If you had to chose between SIS and GDI to hold for the next three years, which would you prefer. They are close in market cap but SIS pays a monthly dividend and appears to be making a comeback. I currently hold GDI but am leaning toward switching back to SIS
Thanks for your great service

Q: which do you prefer for growth byd or gdi and what percent of revenues are derived from USA operations for each company thanks Richard

Q: Hi, I'm currently holding a few of these positions in our TFSA's along with SHOP, LSPD, WELL, etc... I'm trying to determine if these four stocks fit best in a TFSA or other accounts? I try to put the highest growth stocks into our TFSA's. Would you swap any of these names out with some of the other high growth stocks you like and put these into an RSP, LIRA or non registered account? Thanks!

Q: Over the last 10-20 years, I have found that I have done the best buying and holding several smallish, but established companies that seem to have good long term growth prospects. Have made very large gains by holding stocks like CSU, BYD, PBH, WSP and GSY for 5, 10 or more years. I am trying to identify which smallish but established companies might be the best candidates to produce some very significant gains over the next 10+ years. Would you please rank the following in order according to which you think are the most likely to generate some very significant gains over that time frame. I hold the majority of these, but not in large positions, and there are a few I do not currently hold. Also, if you have another 2 or 3 companies that you think would fit this strategy, could you indicate which ones and where they would rank in the list. I'm not worried about sector, as my portfolio is well diversified, and I am tolerant of risk. Take how ever many credits you feel this question is worth. Thank you.
ABT, DOO, ECN, ENGH, GDI, GOOS, LSPD, PEO, REAL, SIS, TCS

Q: Comments and your opinions on the latest earnings from Constellation, Pembina and GDI please.

Thank you

Q: These three seem to be lagging the upside in the overall market..why and what better substitutes can you please suggest ? Thanks...

Q: I currently own CAE in my TFSA and considering buying GDI but then I would be over exposed in the industrial sector in my TFSA but not overall in my portfolio. Would it be ok to buy this stock in my TFSA or should purchased in a RRSP or non RRSP as I have cash in all 3 account?
Thanks

Q: Good Morning
I currently have 37 positions spread over 3 accounts(RRSP,TFSA,INVEST). Most if not all are or at one time been in 5i’s model portfolios. Many of these are currently at 1.5% or less and although I believe they all have varying levels of potential their current weighting in my overall portfolio will have little impact unless they all go up. I believe I should consolidate the listed group, do you agree and if so which ones would you keep? Proceeds would be added to the remaining names.
Thank you for your continued advice and guidance.
As a side note you advice regarding non action in turbulent times is proof positive. Aside from harvesting some tax losses and buying proxies for a handful of names, my portfolio is now bordering on even for the year.
Publish if you wish

Q: Good Morning
What companies do you recommend and see being active in this environment on acquisitions. Or do you forecast a slow down on acquiring because of all the uncertainty.

Thank you

Q: Hello. At its current price level ($ 30) , do you believe that GDI may represent a good investment opportunity ? Please shed light on the growth vectors, competition and the potential risks due to COVID-19. Much appreciated.

Q: Hello,
What are your thoughts on a comapny like GDI at a time like this? On an up market day like today the stock had no movement (which may be a good thing as it may not be correlated to the market). Do you think they could have liquidity issues? I am starting to buy this slowly. DO let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

Regards,

Shyam

Q: I would have thought GDI would be in a sweet spot given the current circumstances re COVID 19 and the need for enhanced cleaning etc.. Do you expect it will benefit?

Q: Own a bunch of the 5i favourites outside of the above. Building up cash to deploy in a TFSA. Thoughts on these for the long run and buying today? I like the CDN names as you have reports on them and it give a bit more confidence in the name. I do own KXS and was wondering if there is overlap with DSG?

Q: I own Boyd and BAM but I'm also interest in your thoughts on GDI? I also ownTelus, RY, ENB,AQN, BIP.un, ZLU, and TRP. I'm wondering if you think I should lighten up on these safe income stocks and go for more growth with GDI? As someone who is bad at volatility, I'm impressed with GDI's low BETA. Comments?
