Q: Hi, thanks to Peter, I am a long-term holder of CSU. As a result, I now have smaller positions in Lumine and Topicus as well, and while I have added to each of those special dividend holdings, I have three fairly similar holdings. I'm looking to pare down my holdings and wondering if you can divine which of the two spin-offs I should keep and add to with the sale of the other? I was leaning to dump TOI because of it's European exposure and it bears similarities to being a younger Constellation while Lumine may be more innovative and unique.
Please comment.

Q: So far it has been an eventual year to date for Quarterhill -- gone are the CEO , the dividend , the CFO and the WiLan Division . The sale of WiLan seemed like an overly complicated transaction -- what is your opinion of the price of $71m they received ?
Quarterhill was a top pick yesterday on BNN , and at close of business today the stock was up 20% in two days . What is your current opinion of QTRH -- are they perhaps a candidate for going private , or maybe a takeover target ?

Q: Hi Team,

Can you please provide your thoughts on NTLA? I've held it for a few years through the ups and downs, and am thinking of now replacing it with something with more potential upside. I was thinking about TOI, but would like to hear if you have any other suggestions as well. My timeframe is 2-3 years.

Thanks

Q: Over the last 30 years my best investments by far have been with smallish to medium sized profitable businesses with good long term growth prospects that I have bought and held for 10+ years. Generally market caps of roughly $500 million Cdn. to around $5 billion Cdn. A few have generated 20, 30 times my initial cost. I am wondering about the prospects of each of these following companies producing those kind of multi-bagger returns over the next 10 or 20 years. Would you please rank these companies in order from 1 to 13 according to the likelihood that they will become another CSU, BYD, WSP, TFII, etc. that can be a big, big winner for a long term investor: ATS, ATZ, DOO, EQB, GSY, HPS.A, KXS, LMN, NVEI, TIXT, TOI, TSU, WELL. Admittedly, TOI is a little big at $8 billion market cap.

Secondly, are there any other Cdn stocks in this size range that you would say have that kind of big upside potential, and where would you place them in comparison to the above listed companies.

Q: Trying to decide between Topicus and Lumine for a long-term growth portfolio here.
I am digging into both, and finding that Lumine gets around a third of revenue from an acquisition they made called Wideorbit. Wideorbit gets almost all of its revenue from ad selling into radio stations, local TV and National TV networks.
I guess I am worried about how this business model can work long term (my teenagers never watch traditional TV or listen to radio, and cord cutting is quite prevalent apparently). Does this high percentage of revenue worry you in terms of Lumine going forward? Thanks

Q: I have to sell most of my TFSA holdings but have the option to leave a bit in the account. I have approximately equal positions in the following stocks and I am down on each one. Each seem to have positive comments from the 5i team.

Q: Follow up question to the question asked today about equal weighting in the 3 noted companies.
What %age of the shares outstanding for TOI and LMN does CSU own?
Are these two companies now out on their own wrt CSU or is CSU looking out for or helping them along in any way?
If so would they not sell any shares to raise capital and hence look elsewhere if needed?

Thanks
Jeff

Q: Hello 5i
As a long time holder of CSU I'm wondering about what % of CSU TOI and LMN one might own. Without giving me specific guidance can you comment on the pros and cons of an equal weighting of each (ei 33% of each).

Q: I liked the answer you gave to one of the members today on how to deal with volatility. Buy good companies run by good people at attractive valuations and hold for the long term. My question is:
What Canadian companies would you consider best fit the bill today? If you can give me 10 companies that would be super helpful.

Q: Hi Peter, I was wondering what your thoughts are regarding CSU, TOI and LMN as it relates to Artificial Intelligence. What role do you think software will play in this revolution and do you think that part of the move in CSU, TOI and LMN has been a result of the AI positioning by investors in these software companies. Canada has a smaller tech space than the US. Are these companies in the early innings of this AI theme and do you see higher prices for all three. I
