Q: Hi Team,
I was considering selling out of my oil stock WCP to purchase either / or a combination of adding to Shop, Nvda, and Toi. Would you see this as advisable for a goal of maximum returns over the next 5yrs ? Thanks
Q: I own these stocks as part of my technology sector. Do you see any overlap in any of these names? Particularly between SHOP, LSPD and NVEI, or are they different enough to own all? Also if you were to choose to high grade 1-2 names, what would you choose if any? Thanks!
Q: BoE bond buying announcement largely had to prevent margin calls and pension impact risks. (As well as other economic needs) Not an expert, but it sounds like mass panic in Europe(inflation, Russia etc…) Leading to significant credit availability reductions needed for businesses for financing etc. With this all happening does this not provide an ideal environment for TOI to acquire European business’s at a discount, understanding they strategically use their cash flow to finance the deals. Lead to a very bright bright upside in the future?
Q: With free cash flow and/or sufficient ready liquid cash on hand and a healthy prospective new business list in the hopper, in which order would you liquidate. Obviously the weakest one being the 1st to go.
Q: Hi Team,
This is more of a general question/ observation of todays price action. On a very negative day yet again, across all major index's where it seemed almost everything is down, some of my worst performers which I thought would be down even more yet were actually positive on the day. In specific (RBLX,SHOP,SQ,TOI (almost NVDA...was positive for a while). Anyways, should we read much into this? Is this a sign that some of these beat down names may actually be flirting with bottom? Or is is just wild trading and a one off perhaps? Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
Q: Hi Team,
I was looking for a list of some beat down, quality names in this carnage with robust potential, to hold my breath and buy some more shares for the long term. Names that have the potential to recover and continue climbing higher, once the market normalizes (whenever that may be). 4 names I was thinking of were either NVDA, SHOP, WELL or TOI. Which of these would be your top choice for the highest return potential over the next 10yr period? Do you have any other names in mind which you would prefer or the ones I listed? Thanks
What makes Topicus different from any other software company - i.e. what makes it more attractive relative to others?
Since it's operations are European, does it currently trade at comparable European valuations?
The economic outlook for Europe appears to be worse than North America. Is this not a concern over the short to medium term?
How do Topicus' current metrics compare to when it first traded?
If you were to choose 3 highest-conviction Canadian growth stocks with similar market cap / risk profile / management quality, would Topicus be one of them?
Q: I received shares of TOI because of owning CSU.
The cost value that the bank assigned was of course zero . Is there a calculated value that I should use to determine gain for tax values when theses are sold?
Q: Recently rejoined 5I after fantastic run in earlier years and have dipped my toes in LNR. Plan to add increments regularly ( I live in Guelph). Agree?
Also can you advise on 3 best buys over the next 3 years.
Thanks,
Alex Reid
Q: Hello Peter,
Given your response to Topicus, is the company following the same strategy as it did for CSU? If so, given that its presence in Europe and that it trades on Venture exchange with little coverage, can you see this stock doing well in the longer term? Also, why would CSU not focus on getting the company to trade on Toronto Exchange? Lastly , Tecsys has been on the decline.. Any major reason as i thought this would be a good long term hold? Thanks
Q: I am so disappointed with this name.What is/can Topicus do to enhance their profile?Do you still like the return prospects?Why?Should I continue to hold or take a tax loss?
Q: I noticed an interesting thing the other day, with the CPI announcement in the US causing a sudden severe tech market downdraft. Tech stocks such as Amazon went down about 6% and have stayed there. Smaller Canadian tech stocks didn't however. I hold both Converge and Topicus and they are both trading higher than they were two or three days ago. Does this decoupling mean that smaller Canadian tech stocks may have bottomed? Ie. all of the weak shareholders have been flushed out and mostly long term holders now hold the shares?
Q: You had a question about how to view Topicus’ mergers and acquisitions activity. It turns out that Total Specific Solutions (one of Topicus’ three business units) has a Linkedin account and they post their acquisitions there. For you to post if you wish.
Q: Hello Peter,
i am starting to realize, buying stocks based on previous success does not always work out as in Knights and Topicus case. However, i was wondering with current environment, is it a good idea to initiate a position in Knight with hope of good returns in future as i see little downside.. Please let me know . i am thinking of selling TOI, for Gud. Thanks
Q: What is the best way to gain visibility to the M&A activity of Topicus. Can you provide your perspective and eventual impact on TOI with Signity’s stock price(assuming strong underlying performance). It has doubled since TOI acquired a large ownership stake. Thx.
