Investment Q&A

Q: Hi team!

I currently hold MG, NPI, QST, REAL in my TFSA and am down in all. Which would be your favorite to add another half position to at the moment?

Or would this be a better opportunity for me to take that money and purchase NVEI at this current lower price point?

Thanks for all you do!

Q: Who will be interested in buying REAL? If the real estate is strong and this company can't get a bid what will happen when the real estate (and market for that matter) tanks?

Q: Hi 5i,

I brought Real:CA for long time ago, in average around $27. Although I am a long term investment, but I am so upset for the everyday dropping. How many years do you think the company will back to positive?
Many thanks.

Q: Good morning,
Pondering investing in REAL with a few questions please.
How does 5i feel about their current competitive position and ability to land new Tier 1/2 lenders and increase market share?

How does 5i assess REAL's runway for strengthening competitive position? Regarding this, Pg. 34 of REAL's Nov 2020 Investor Day presentation says "Investment in technology in F2021-23 expected to yield 20% reduction in cost to serve by 2025".
Two questions here please.
Is 5i aware of REAL making technology enhancements in 2021 consistent with this statement, and if so what was the key one?
Two, is REAL's current focus on buying back shares in F2021 consistent with them still having the cash to make technology investments?
Thank you. Edward

Q: I currently own these stocks that are underperforming in my portfolio and would like to sell and invest elsewhere.

What stocks do you recommend I sell?

Q: What is the latest information on the forward P/E for REAL? It would seem with the price drop REAL must be cheap by now. Let's assume REAL is successful with the onboarding of the tier one client, which they are being quite careful about, and growth continues. Isn't there an opportunity here for new buyers of REAL?

Q: Any chance that Real Matters is a buyout target for Constellation Software? Mark Leonard did say he is going after other "markets". Or maybe Real Matters cannot even past their internal hurdle rates.

Q: If the intention is to take this private, isn't then the goal to push it as low as possible so they don't have to pay as much in premium?

Q: Hello,
I am trying to understand "hidden? value" from your viewpoint vs out of favor with the market.
REAL.to has lost close to 60% of it's value in the past year while many other assets have been rocketing up creating a massive opportunity cost for holding it(with no dividend). A month ago REAL was #10 in your top 10 in response to a questioner.
In the case of GUD, it seems the reputation of JG creates the expectation of an encore performance and periodic insider buys, and micro press releases temper the stock price decline from no real news.
Are there any tangible/intangible factors that would compel someone to make a contrarion investment in REAL at this point?

Thank you

Q: I'm down about 34% on REAL in a registered account. I initially bought with a 5 year time frame in mind. What catalysts can you think of that might be a positive for the stock price? How likely are these to occur over the next year or two? With my time frame in mind, would you advise selling and moving on?

Q: P/P $18.77 in RIF. Thinking of taking loss if chances of recovery are slim & drawn out.Please provide 2 replacements. Your opinion please.Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: I hold Real Matters. in a TFSA. It's down big time. Bought at $20. Like to hold for the long term but thinking of selling 50% of the holdings and adding to FSV.T and KXS-T. Or should I sell 100 % of REAL and move on . Your thoughts .

Q: Hi

i have couple reds ( Xbc - 54%, REAL -46%, BBTV - 30%, ABCL - 25%, GUD - 16%, EGLX - 12%, MX - 11%, SYZ - 10% ) in registered account. Looking for your opinion whether to sell/hold/buy or replace with some other stocks in same sectors or any good replacement you think based on valuation irrespective of sector.

Thanks

Q: XBC, REAL, PRN and QST, are down significantly this year. At current valuations, are these a Buy, Hold or Sell. If buying, what would you guess might be a good entry point for each.
Thank you!!

Q: Hi, in a followup to Real's earnings question, after you listen in on the con call, what do you feel it is going to take to get this stock to return to its glory days ...or to get investors more interested? Do they simply need to add more lenders, execute better, improve their Title performance division? Better economy?
I have accumulated about a 5-7% position averaging around $15 during the last 2 years..
If they were not so active in buying and cancelling their shares I don't think their numbers would be very good....and maybe that is a telling tale but I generally think that if a company is actively buying and cancelling their shares they know that will come to fruition down the road.
Is there light at the end of the tunnel for these guys? Thoughts?

Cheers....

Q: Would you continue to hold REAL after another miss?

Thanks.

Q: Pls post comments on their CC, and your views going forward for next few years. I'm a patient investor but do have my limits.
