Investment Q&A

Q: Sorry for asking another tech ranking but I read a question about some of your best ideas currently and I want to mesh with my current holding. Can you please rank the above stocks for purchase/hold today?
Thank you

Q: Hi, What are your thoughts on Constellation's plans to start looking to buy Canadian VC- backed companies, as per following NR. Thank You

Q: Thanks for all of the great information you provide!
I have been fortunate enough to follow your information and belief in these three companies. I'm sure I am far from alone in having them make up a relatively large percentage of my portfolio due to their recent performance.
Should these 3 be considered separately or do I need to combine them as a percentage of my assets. I'm certain bad new for one will bring down the others at least temporarily but can they act on their own?
Thanks as always
Richard

Q: If CSU owns about 50% of TOI, do they also get 50% of the total special dividend being paid out (as cash)?

Q: I currently have HCAL in a growth orientated TFSA and I don't think this is a good fit.
Currently, I hold Goog, SHOP, LMN & CLS. Do have a few ideas for a stock that could replace the HCAL ETF?

Q: Can I please have your comments on Constelllation's earnings. Still a top recommendation?

Q: It's not really a question but a testimony, I bought $10,000.00 worth of CSU several years ago. When it spun out TOI, I sold some of my CSU to buy more TOI, and when they spun out LUM I sold some CSU to buy more LUM. I have also sold some CSU to consolidate profits (this was probably a mistake). I now have $88,000.00 from my $10,000.00 investment. Thank you 5i for my 1,000% investment.

Q: Please provide me with your 5 of your best Industrial companies and Tech companies

Q: Nvidia, Constellation Software and Broadcom (in that order) have pulled away from the other stocks in our portfolio. We know how you view NVDA and CSU and wonder how you would rate AVGO to overweight in the portfolio as well? We hold AVGO in two registered accounts for the nice dividend.
Thank you

Q: One of the great things about CSU that makes them “investor friendly” is that they don’t issue shares. If they aren’t raising capital by selling shares, what’s the benefit to the board/company being publicly traded?

Q: My tech stocks have had a great run and it's time to trim as they are now about 33% of my portfolio. Can you please rank the above stocks along with SMCI (watching for a pullback in that one). I also have GOOG and AMZN. Do you think they are too closely related as well?

Q: Are there a few Canadian and/or US companies that are “hiding in plain sight” that have the potential to be long term compounders similar to a CSU, MKL, ROP etc?

Q: Hi Peter & 5i,
Q1 - CSU and VGT values have caused my TECH sector allocation to be overweight. Knowing you can't personalize weightings and keeping in mind the theory of letting your winners run. Would you see a trim of CSU and VGT and putting those proceeds into GSY as good switch for future growth? Or would I be just shuffling future growth from one sector to another?
Q2 - In showdown of TIH and EIF which one would you recommend for overall future returns? Do you have concerns about the debt levels of EIF versus the EBITDA? No such concerns with TIH.
Thanks always for your great insight and advice.

Q: 3-5 years from now who would you expect to have more growth?...LMN or CSU.
Certainly like the fact that LMN's majority shareholer is CSU. I would think CSU spun them off as they expect more growth from them as well?

Q: Peter,please advise your US & Can stock picks in Feb 20 interview with Chris with a short narrative. Thanks

Q: https://www.csisoftware.com/category/press-releases/2023/08/03/constellation-software-inc.-announces-rights-offering-of-series-1-debentures

Help,
I seem to have some warrants referenced to CSU’s Series 1 Debentures. But, I am having difficulty understanding why I have them and whether or not they can be exercised.

Q: Hi Peter and 5iresearch team:
In your answer to Gerry's question on Feb 16, you mentioned that CSU and ATB have been the best Canadian compounders over the last ten years. You added DOL, BYD, TFII, BN, CLL.B, TRI based on historical performance and you are expecting LMN.V, TVK, HPS.A, TOI, GSY to be potential Canadian compounders in the future.

1. Would YOU still invest in CSU, ATB, DOL, BYD, TFII, BN, CLL.B, TRI with the same conviction and weighting?
2. Could you please provide a similar answer but for the US market? Please provide 10 or so best US compounders based on historical performance that YOU think investors should keep investing in and 5 or so US companies that YOU would buy as potential US compounders in the future.

Thank you for the great service.

Q: You seem to like LMN. Do you see them hopefully duplicating what Constellation has achieved. A good long term hold. Put away for a few years and continue to add to. ?Looks good. RAK

Q: What are your top buys (3) right now if you were investing in a mix of growth, quality, and somewhat reasonable valuation? With your answer/explanation can you include fwd p/e or whatever relevant metrics vs peers?

Also, what's a quality stock or two you'd like to buy but would want to see come down a bit/something you'd be looking to pick up in a broad market selloff?

Q: Hello Peter,
What is happening to Ivanhoe electric? It is on a downward trend. I am thinking of selling my toi, and lmn, to invest in CSU as everyday i see csu ticking higher. Does this strategy makes sense? Also, with nice dividend history of fortis, why is it still so low whereas hydro one seems to be ticking higher. thanks very much
