Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Constellation Software's (CSU) press release yesterday seemed to confirm that CSU may be undergoing a new growth phase which will see it take on very large deals through the utilization of stand alone debt financing. The stock price has moved up sharply and on high volume. I am wondering if this new strategy will attract a new class of large institutional shareholders? Many thanks, Peter

Q: This is a statement not a question but I would appreciate you posting. I think the best thing I have learned from your research and advice is to not be afraid of purchasing a stock on your recommendations just because it has had a good run. I bought Paladin one week before the takeover announcement, and Constellation only one month ago, on your positive outlook for both stocks. Your advice looks forward based on what you think a stock will do, not what it has done. 5i Research is helping many people. Bill

Q: Please comment on my attempt to trim. 100 shares of CSU was purchased at $116. Present value is $196. It is now 9.8% of my portfolio which is about $200,000. If I sell 30 shares at $196 that would reduce the holding to 6.9% of my portfolio. Is this worth the effort?
I also own 600 shares of ESL @ $27.76. This is 8.3% of my portfolio. If I sell 100 shares that would reduce this holding to 5.4%. Alan W.

Q: Constellation has been "A" rated and I think it's no secret it is the current favourite 5i Canadian stock for numerous reasons, great chart. I'd like to know what CSU would need to do to earn an "A+" rating to rise above its very few "A" peers; would a stock split help? If CSU can't make "A+" what non-Canadian company might be on the horizon for the "A+" rating, recognizing it's not your area of expertise? If I'd never heard of 5i I would not have been in CSU since $115 and since the initial purchase have averaged up, and I sure wouldn't be in "A" territory! Thanks, 5i.

Q: Hi Peter and team;
Thanks for the great service. I am building positions with A and B rated stocks. So far I have bought Stantec, Enghouse, BNS. I am looking at adding another stock, my goals are long term hold (5 years) and looking for dividend growth potential and stock price appreciation. At this time, is their one stock you would recommend.
Tks
Kevin
