Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Dear 5i
Could you provide me with the expected earnings growth rates for the year for the above mentioned stocks .
Also would your order of buying these stocks be the same order as the expected growth rates ? In other words are there any other significant factors to consider other than growth rate for the above stated stocks that might change your order of buying ? So considering the above what would your level of conviction be from highest to lowest for these listed stocks ?
Thanks again for your valuable assistance in the challenging world of stock picking . I'm pretty sure there are quite a few of us DIY investors that would be lost without the great advice from 5i Research .

Q: Thank you for your recent report on Pollard.
Would you be able to estimate the value of PBL should they be unsuccessful to bid on any new iLottery contracts once the current NPi iLottery contracts expire? Where would the stock trade at in this worst-case scenario, if PBL remained a classic scratch card business along with its charitable gaming part? Thank you.

Q: These are the big losers in my portfolios.
So sick of looking at them and waiting for improvement (which I know is unlikely and a bad idea). My wife’s analysis of my investment strategy is “break even quick”. Are any worth holding, or is it time to just jettison the works?
I don’t mind a bit of risk, but am thinking they’re just mistakes, at this point. I believe I have a diversified portfolio over all, with none of these being overweight.

Thanks for your help.

Q: Unfortunately I am down over 50% on all these stocks (held in my TFSA). I am “cleaning house”.
Please give your opinion as to whether any have the potential to recover and are worth holding for a bit longer.
Thanks for your help.

Q: Pollard bank note is down at 52 week lows. It has come off sharply from its highs, which were probably way too high. Someone last week on Market Call, I think it was Tcascy, said that labor was up because PBL was so busy they had to have people work lots of overtime and because of that they added another shift so next quarters earnings should look much better. Sounds plausible but I have not been able to check if that is true. What does 5i know and what is your opinion of PBl in general? I have started a small position but not sure if I should add if it takes another leg down.
