Q: Hello, and thank you for an informative service. In theory, what are your views on adding to a so-called expensive/highly valued stock when your original cost basis is quite low? For example, I keep reading how Dollarama is at a high premium right now. I have a lot of it, and my original cost basis is about $97. Even adding a couple thousand dollars would keep it at something like $97.50. as a general rule or idea, is it worth building on positions like this? Also, I don't know if this would be considered a second question, but if you could rank the five stocks in order to purchase today keeping in mind my original question, that would be much appreciated. Thank you again.

Q: On Sept 11, Otex announced it has received authorization for the OpenText IT Management Platform (ITMX) from the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/opentext-management-platform-achieves-fedramp-142600427.html ) .

You mentioned before that OTEX may need time to integrate previous M/A. With the FEDRAMP approval, would it be a buy now? Or would you consider stronger stocks to be better total returns over the next 3-4 years? Please rank the attached companies (knowing that they're all very different).

Thank you so much for your insights!

Q: Hi 5i team,

What would be your current 5 best (highest conviction) buys in each of the following categories please.
1. small cap
2. mid cap
Hold target is 3-10 years or longer.
I prefer these categories as they seem to have the most torque (in the right environment) albeit also the most risk.


Cheers,
Steve

Q: Lot of people seem interested in TVK, current valuation, and if it's worth starting a position. Could you please answer the same for BN and TOI? Given current prices, what would be a good entry point price in your view? Thank you again!

Q: Hi Team,
I do not own Tvk yet, mostly being hesitant that it would be tied to the oil and gas sector too much which is highly cyclical and I now mostly avoid resource stocks after being burned in the past. However Tvk has not fallen with the recent downturn in Canadian oil stocks. Still riding new highs daily here it seems. I guess my question is do you see a lag effect coming here in possible weakness coming for Tvk being that the oil sector is once again getting hit? Or is it diversified enough to completely avoid this? I am wondering if a better entry point might present itself down the road a quarter or 2? The
Thanks ,
Shane

Q: I see that TVK is a front runner, if not your #1 small cap recommendation right now. I agree with the thesis but unfortunately was hungup on waiting for a pullback. Its now even more expensive vs historical valuations. Do the valuation lower it a few notches in your order of what you'd buy today versus like an ADX or HPS which have come down a bit, or do you find the valuation reasonable? Thx

Q: I would like to set up a concentrated balanced portfolio of 6 Canadian value and 6 growth companies. I'm looking for the very best companies Canada has to offer, currently. I realize you have a balanced portfolio but I'm looking for the companies that are poised to do the best in the current ecomonic environment. As always, thanks for your much appreciated advice.
