Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i:
I'm down in all of these , what are your recommendations for each one
HOLD SELL BUY ? for the next 12 - 18 months.
Thank you !!!

Q: Have just sold MAGT after the news of the takeover. Looking to use the funds to top up one of 4 smaller technology positions, KXS, NVEI, TIXT and TOI. Already have full positions in CSU and DSG. How would you rank KXS, NVEI, TIXT and TOI for an add now, and I would appreciate a couple of reasons for the one or two you like best. Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
Looking to have your thoughts on why Topicus is not participating in the recent tech rally that's been going on...especially yesterday? I know its a odd trader. But is there anything fundamental holding it back? Or do big investors (fund managers and such) avoid it because they are not share issuers? This being said...do you also see this as an opportune to add, with anticipating that TOI shares will eventually "catch up" to the over all tech bounce here? Thanks for your thoughts!

Shane.

Q: Looking to add to my registered accounts. Could you please rank the above based on which you would buy as of today?

Please let me know your thoughts and also should I buy, hold or sell. Most are in registered accounts.
Thanks.

Q: The FTSE 100 near all time high co-relates to higher valuations in Europe correct? How does or could this impact TOI’s M&A strategy? The company has been stealth like in its communication and thin on traded volume. Do you have any insight to its recent activity? When does it report and what should we be looking for?

Q: Hi, Thank you for the updated research report on Constellation Software. I found it really interesting and highly informative. We have owned CSU shares in all family members' accounts and thanks to stock's glowing performance over these years ( Big Thanks to 5i's strong conviction), its weighting continues to grow. Even after trimming our holding regularly, every year, CSU has a weighting between 12% to 15%, in each portfolio. In addition, we also own TOI, between 2.5% to 3.5% for each member. We like CSU a lot and the TOI/Lumine spinoffs are just one of those host of reasons. Need your expert opinion on following:

1. We leave the CSU weight as is and continue to trim each year, eventually to reach,
say 7-10% weight over next 5-10 years. Do you see much company/sector risk with this strategy ?
( This approach has helped us in spreading huge built in capital gains - ACB $450, over separate years. Based on tenure/experience of our ownership, we are very comfortable with 10% +)

2. We cut TOI holding to <2% or eliminate altogether, as CSU already has a large ownership in the company.

3. We leave CSU and TOI, at currents weights 12.5%/2.5%, in each member's portfolio and do nothing.

Total Tech weighting in each member's portfolio is 20-25 %, balance being SHOP and KXS,

Thank you.

Thanks

Q: I'm looking at your answer to Shane's Jan 5 question about your caveats on recovery of stocks. Do you see any of the stocks listed here whose recovery may be limited and if so, which ones and based on which caveats? Thank you.

Q: Good morning,

I know CSU and TOI are kind of related but not clearly know how. I have 8% in CSU now ( thanks to 5i). Is it wise to invest in TOI as well? Appreciate your advice as always!

Angie

Q: Gentlemen,
I would like to add to the above to increase my weight in these position.
What is your opinion. Should I wait on one or on all of them?
Appreciate your help. Thank you!
Albert

Q: If you could only buy either TOI or SHOP which one would you buy?
Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
Since it's near year end, I was wondering if you could list me some of your TOP PICK ideas for a 2023 TFSA contribution. I am looking for long term hold ideas. Thanks

Shane.

Q: Hi 5i,
I’m working through an audit of my technology positions for year end. Would you rate each position as a buy, sell or hold for your own portfolio today?

Thank you!

Q: Would you please provide me with 6 US and 6 CDN stocks that have gone down in price but their value, debt and upside don't justify the downward stock price. Some with big upside potential.

Thanks and Happy Holiday Season to you and all staff.

Q: In Investment (non-registered) accounts these 5 stocks are all 'under-water'. I am considering selling for 'tax loss' purposes and would appreciate your thoughts. Is this a useful approach? Are there any that merit re-purchase following 30 days 'waiting period'?

Q: Hi Guys,

If you could wipe the slate clean, could you please list your top picks (minimum 8) for a balance Canadian portfolio.
Thanks
