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: Please rank the top 10 stocks from list above above for a long term hold. Thanks

Q: Admittedly, I am not a patient investor. I am disenchanted with Boyd and have to believe that either or all of the other equities mentioned above (which I am not fully invested in) should be a better investment for the medium/long term. Could you please comment on this and suggest the equities, in order of growth expectation, I could replace Boyd with.
Thanks,

Q: I am at loss with PIF. Thinking selling it and buying either ENB, FTS or HPS.A to add to my existing positions. Do you think it is a right move as PIF share price is not moving? a Which one of the above names has highest potential under current share price to buy as replacement of PIF.

Q: Can you please give me your current opinion on Goodfellow potential. Will they be in a position to pay dividend ms in coming year? What is their growth potential in current macro environment of reducing interest rates? How would they compare to your favorite small cap industrial companies? Is it worth investing in at the moment or best left alone for greener pastures?

Q: The above stocks are currently under performing since buying in March/April, especially HPS.A. What are your forward looking prospects for these companies? I am looking to continue to hold over long time horizon.

Thanks!

Q: The following 5 companies make up the majority of my small cap portfolio:

Celestica - current price $ 58 CAD
Docebo - current price $ 55 CAD

Please recommend which positions you would add to, at today prices, in descending order (most preferred to least preferred). Thank you very much and have a good day.

Q: If I were to pick only two themes for long term investment, they would likely be urban water supply and the electrification of North America. (Would appreciate your thoughts on those choices...).

Regarding electrification, I'm well positioned in energy providers, including green & conventional energy producers. I have a half position in HPS.a and a small amount of GRID. I am struggling to decide if I should move upstream into a copper producer (BHP?) or if I should stick with small caps like HPS.A to get more torque.

I'm retired and no longer young; my finances are solid. Most of my investments are with a professional manager. I keep about 20% for fun, but even the fun money is mostly in fairly blue chip stuff. It is in this small chunk that I shall play around, and I am okay with adding a bit of risk.

So the question is: raw material producer or end user stocks? Where would you head? Specific suggestions most welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi,
After carefully curating the Q&A over a period of time and posting questions, I put together these companies as my own personal 5i Small cap fund!
As of today this is where I stand:

GSY negative 8%;
LMN negative 11%;

HPS.A Positive 1.5%;
PAY Positive 7%;
PRL Positive 1.5%
TOI Positive 5.3%.

On the whole in terms of raw numbers, it is still positive.


For the new monies, would you add to these positions or suggest another small cap equity.
IF you were to add to these existing positions, in which order would you add.
I am a patient guy and willing to wait for a while. I was with you holding Knight Therapeutics for a long time! (Negative)
Also with you in energy sector (Positive) So, I know how this goes.

Thanks for all your answers.

Q: Hi! Could you explain the sharp dip in price for TMDX recently?

Also, I am down almost 20% HPS.A and keep waiting for it to get better. It tries, then falls, rinse and repeat. What's going on here? Is there good reason to be patient?

Thanks so much.

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.

Q: Can you rank in order the top 10 small caps that you feel have the most potential over the next 6 months and provide a quick statement on why each is included?

Q: Hello, There was a NR today stating that Hammond Power will be increasing its Planned Capex by $20 mln, over 2024 and 2025, to support current capacity bottlenecks for its custom power transformers portfolio resulting in significant addition to its revenue capacity. Is this significant ?

Does it further solidify company's position as a dominant supplier in speciality transformers segment of the market ? And, given the recent volatility in the stock, how should investors be positioned for next 3-5 years ?

Thank You
