Investment Q&A

Q: Anything happening at Topicus to account for the new highs?

Thx

Q: Looking to setup a very concentrated TFSA to drive long term capital gains. Currently holding the above names. TSU has not been nearly as exciting as the other names. Is TSU going to provide outsized capital gains? My thinking is to sell TSU and allocate the funds to the other names equally. If there are others names you would recommend pls do share.

Q: In the past few months we have purchased a 3% position in LMN at a cost of 33.73 per share. We are currently content to hold these shares indefinitely. Currently LMN's parent (CSU) has about 20 million shares outstanding while LMN has about 250 million shares. As a sometime sceptic, I wonder if the creation of LMN (and TOP) by CSU is a tool for CSU to raise capital? Appreciate any comments you may have on this. Much thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,
What is your opinion of the sale and should one continue to hold NEO ?
And do you have further thought on TOI?
Also if you sell in a margin account can you buy back in a TFSA (if cash) without waiting 30 days?

Q: Even with the recent drop, Lumine still seems to be more expensive than Topicus based on EV/EBITDA. At the current price, would you prefer Topicus or Lumine? What metric would you recommend using to evaluate growth tech stocks?

Q: I learned of something that I had never heard of before when someone adked 5i's opinion of "the magnificiant Seven Companies" and learned they are American companies. Also was impredded with your answers of why they made the list of 7.

This leads me to ask what 5i's opinion of what would you say the Mannificiant Seven Canadian companies been in the last 7 years with the expectation that they will be still in busines 7 years from now?

Q: Could you please comment on the earnings release for Topicus. Thank You

Q: Hi group in what order would you add Regardless of sector to the above stocks that i presently own + would you wait after the big drop in the markets today or slowly average in

also what your general thoughts (short comment will suffice) on the markets going fwd

Q: If you were to pick one of the following - LMN or TOI for a TFSA which would be your preference and why? Thanks.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

I know this is an unfair question! Asking you to rank order your favorite children :)

Plan to add some fresh funds in these stocks in an orderly fashion.
Any thoughts?

Please feel free to add any other small cap stock(s) that you think is as good as these favorites of yours!

Q: i hold a number of these small cap names. I do not hold CLS or TVK. At current pricing what order would you add to these names, what names do you think are very attractively priced right now?

Thanks
Tim

Q: What does the market expect from Topicus on Aug.1st?

Thx

Q: Hello Peter,
I am wondering if it is best to sell my positions in Lumine Group and Topicus and use the proceeds to beef up my position in Constellation as it seems the subsidiaries are hardly moving and are range bound..Also, can you suggest a few money market funds that i can park my money into.. Much appreciate it

Q: Constellation Software has impressively continued to climb to new 52 week highs. Topicus and Lumine have been pretty stagnant lately. Do you expect some share price action from Topicus and Lumine in the next 6 months?

Q: Hi, hold enough EIF that I want to divest and diversify. Looking for high growth over the next 4-5 years, but not as interested in dividends. I also hold a fair bit of CSU and gsy, so am thinking along those lines. What would be a good ranking for the following at today's prices (best to worst), and are there another couple additions you'd suggest? Big thanks!
DOL, BN, CLS, LMN, TOI, DRX, DSG, IFC, TRI, PRL, AFN, GFL.

Q: My Topicus share value is about double the share value of what I have in Lumine and Constellation Software. What are your thoughts about making all three holdings roughly equal or if not equal what mix do you feel is best if considering future growth prospects?

Q: Hello,
I thought given the news about Goeasy's ceo change (uncertainty) would have moved some investors to propel holdings.. Also, what is holding the stock back? The market is moving higher today but propel is hardly moving... also, any news on Topicus.. The stock is at a standstill with few trades taking it higher than it dips again.. is it becoming a trading stock

Q: Please comment on the recent big price swing in SHOP , HPS . I want to add either LMN or TOI , which one offer better return ? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: I have a large (15-20%) holding in CSU, as it has grown really well. They say to keep running with your winners; as I continue investing, would it be better to continue slowly adding to my CSU position, or to work on diversifying my portfolio? If diversify, I am obviously looking for other stocks that will compound at a high level over the long term. At today's valuations, in which order would 5i recommend buying these other stocks? Similarly, to diversify, does it make sense to sell some CSU to reinvest in any of these other stocks? Thank you so much!

Q: Hi, currently holding CSU 5.17%, LMN 4.86%, and TOI 1.8%. Have nice gains in all. Looking to trim some CSU and LMN and add to TOI. Would you be comfortable with this move at this time considering each of their fundamentals and valuations? Which do you think has the longest runway for growth and how would you rank them for a 5-10 yr hold.

Also, I have TVK 1.79%, HPS.A 2.02%, PRL 1.41%, WELL 1.91%. No position in DRX (how would you look to avg. into this name?). How would you rank these if you were to add to these positions currently? When looking to add, are you mainly looking at the valuation and fundamentals or does the avg. cost and % return factor into that as well? For example, my HPS.A is up 60% and PRL up 4%, does this factor into your decision of which one to add to or does it not matter and we should just consider the forward return potential? Thanks!
