Investment Q&A

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.

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!

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: I hold the above stocks in my Unregistered,TFSA,and RRIF accounts. I understand that as of January 1, 2023, the IRS will require a 10% withholding tax when Canadian residents sell US stocks. Does this rule apply to sell any of the above mentioned my stocks ?

2) If I sell above Stocks before end of 2022, will I avoid paying new IRS 2023 10% withholding tax?

Q: I need to raise some cash in my RIF and I have narrowed my choices down to either selling META or selling TOI.
Which one would you let go and what is your reasoning.

Q: HI,
you had mentioned recently that we could be in another historic buying opportunity for growthy small caps. along those lines...
this list contains some of my small cap/more speculative holdings. could you comment on these as a current buy, sell, or hold. I am a long term investor ( 5-many years). and if any are screaming "I am going to zero" (like Xebec). and do you have high conviction on any other small cap growth stocks presently? cheers
