Investment Q&A

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on holdings in the portfolio. All have been winners - I am fairly prudent yet always looking for trends and will hold long term. I don't rely on dividends though they are preferable. Would you make changes for another holding(s)?

Petroleum: TOU, FRU, ENB
Finance: GWO, NVEI
Steel: STLC, LIF (Watching cyclical trends)
Auto: MG
Mining: CXB, KL, (TRQ - I expect an upturn in 2 quarters)
Software: CTS, LSPD, TOI
Healthcare: WELL

Thank you for your support.

Q: Hi Team,

Any idea why this company is not held in XIT at present ? Do you think it will be added at some point?

Thanks

Q: I hold a small position in ENGH. Since peaking on Sept 4th at just over $80, it has been in a long steady decline for 9 months, to the low $50's, a drop of about 1/3 of its value. The results just released Thursday night look very weak to me, especially compared to the previous year, although covid helped their video division significantly last year, and the stock is still trading at pretty high multiples, despite the decline in the stock price. I know you have mentioned many times that you feel ENGH is a good long term steady business. Wondering if you still feel this stock is worth adding to, or is it time to sell and move on to something that offers more growth? Or do you still think there is reason to expect good revenue and income growth from ENGH over the next few years? Would you sell ENGH and add to existing positions in NVEI, TOI or DSG? Thanks.

Q: What are your thoughts on PSFE now that it has reported quarterly results? Is it a buy for significant growth over the next 2 years. I recently purchased NVEI as well (on the dip) and have been pleased so far. Thanks.

Q: Between NVEI and TOI which one do you favour and why?
Thanks.

Q: If dnd good private what is a good company to replace it in my tfsa growth portfolio.

Q: How would you rate these tech companies for growth and safety?

Q: Hi, What's your view on the Nuvei's Secondary Offering of 7.2 mln shares @ US$69.78. There seems to be no dilution and selling shareholders including CEO Philip Fayer, Novacap, CDPQ and others will continue to own almost 90% of their current stake ? Is it a good opportunity to Buy/Add ? Thanks

Q: Hi, What would be the market demand for Nuvei shares, due to MSCI Canada Index inclusion ? Thanks
"MONTREAL, May 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nuvei Corporation (“Nuvei” or the “Company”) (TSX: NVEI and NVEI.U), the global payment technology partner of thriving brands, today announced that effective as of the close of the market on May 27, 2021 it will be added as a member of the MSCI Canada Index, as part of the May 2021 Semi-Annual Index Review for the MSCI Equity Indexes."

Q: In a growth orientated TFSA I hold Real that I am tempted to sell and replace with Nuevi is this a good idea? (Oddly Real is up today and Nuevi is down)

Q: Good morning. I have some cash in a growth portfolio and am looking for a high potential growth stock...what do you think of Nuvei over the next year or two?
Thank you.

Q: Please comment on today's earnings report. Thanks.

Q: I am interested by growth companies that have a lot of potential, and preferably relatively secure and not extremely volatile. I thought of the following companies: LSPD, NVEI. TOI, GSY, TAIG and LEV. If you would have to buy those companies, in what order would you buy them. Feel free to include other ones that are not on this list or exclude some of these if you think that they are not appropriate.

Q: Hi 5iTeam - Would you consider Nuvei a buy today for a full position or is its price mostly factoring in future growth. The timeline is 3 to 5 years. Also could you provide an update on insider ownership and recent trading. Are there any fundamentals that you think should be noted. Also do you have any suggestions for a similar company with good growth prospects - one Canadian and one U.S. if possible. More if you think it applies. Thanks.

Q: I'm looking to reduce the overall amount of positions. Of my tech names which would you suggest selling?

From what I can gather you prefer NVDA to AMD and would suggest one of either SHOP or LSPD. Is this accurate? Other suggestions or ideas to pair down?

Thank you very much

Q: How would you rank the above 3 stocks for growth? CTS is much smaller but valuation appears to be better than the other 2 - can you please comment? Is debt a concern with any of these stocks? NVEI seems to be about the same size as LSPD - do you feel it is currently over-valued like LSPD? I recall 5i recently decreased the rating on LSPD from B+ to B.
Thank you!

Q: For a stock price to double in 5 years requires an average gain of about 15% compounded, annually. Would you please rank these 12 stocks in order for the likelihood, in your opinion, they will double in price in the next 5 years. Roughly how many of these 12 would you expect to achieve that target? Assuming no major long term market melt down which would preclude good stock performance over this period. CTS, DCBO, DND, DOO, ECN, GOOS, GSY, KXS, MG, NVEI, PHO, TIXT.

Q: I hold below 13 technology stocks - it is about 30% of my portfolio. My target is to reduce it to 20% If I need to sell or reduce which one would you recommend to sell and in what order. Are all 13 stocks consider as technology.

Currently - MiTK, CRM & PLTR in a loss. Rest everyone is in profit. No concern about capital gain or loss.

Q: Which of the above companies do you see as performing quite well when the market picks up over the upcoming year and over a longer term of 2-3 years?
Thank you for considering my question, I look forward as always to you answer.

Thanks, Jim

Q: I get why rising rates would help good 'ol fashion bank stocks. While fintech names seem to be considered more growth oriented, wouldn't higher rates ultimately help those stocks as well?

I own the names above. Any issues with any of them?

Thanks
