Investment Q&A

Q: I am wondering what your thoughts are on the earnings release. I have read your response to a similar question on revenues being up, cash flow, ... but I was hoping to hear if you were happy or not with the results and why. Personally, I was a little disappointed but I would prefer to hear your opinion. And do these results in any way change your opinion of the company. Thank You.

Q: Hi team. Two of my most "unsure" holdings are pltr and mgni. I was wondering how you feel about these long term. Would you continue to hold them? I was considering adding to TOI with the proceeds if I were to sell one, or both of them. What would be your suggestion for the long term here? Or is there any other of your absolute favourites at the moment that I should be buying today instead of holding pltr and mgni? Note that I already own TTD (same sector as mgni). Thanks for your input.

Q: Can you give your thoughts on Topicus earnings release? Rev growth was good but the decreasing free cash flow and CFO, is that normal from a company in their position? Did they beat or miss expectations? Thx

Q: Hello Team,
What are the potential benefits forToi in remaining in the Venture exchange as opposed to migrating to the TSX?
Could you briefly describe their debt picture- by all means delay your answer until after the second Quarter financials.

Q: Hi the great 5i team, if one starts a new position of the two companies, which one will you buy and why? thanks.

Q: Hi 5i
I would appreciate your overview of the Topicus (TOI) and Vela Software purchase of CGG GeoSoftware business? Also, given TOI share of the purchase is 60% and Vela 40 is there %a potential roll out from Constellation of Vela to TOI in the future? Thanks

Q: Nuevi announced an acquisition today and dropped $2. Topicus announced an acquisition and jumped $6. Why the opposite swings?

Q: For the above stocks you tend to be positive on, over the next 3 years please rank them in order with the main goal being capital appreciation (regardless of risk, sector or diversification)

Would your ranking change at all if:

1. Covid is still affecting the world as it is today with international travel somewhat restricted and variants posing a potential problem.

2. Covid becomes more and more contained and the world is as “open for business” as it was pre covid.

Q: Please rank the following for growth 10+ year investment in a TFSA.

Please include risk involved, 10 being high risk.

ATZ, LSPD, ROKU, TOI, MG, WSP, TFII

Also, would you avoid investing in LSPD if one already owned SHOP?

Thank you

Q: As of today, what would be your top 10 most stable Canadian companies, or ETF's, to invest in. Stable meaning those best able to ride out any market or economic downturn. Dividends are always nice but not essential. Thanks as always.

Q: Hi Team,
Three part question. Firstly, I know as professionals you do not recommend “winners” climbing to over a certain % of ones Portfolio. However, if early investors in Apple or shopify for example would of bailed ; some would not be millionaires now. Or in some cases , billionaires where the CEO’s are holding most their wealth in their company stock. How can one hope to land that “life changing trade”(1000% or more) if one keeps trimming eternal winners ? Does it not make sense if a person finds that “winning company” to keep holding of goals are set high?

Secondly..is GSY one of those stocks, if you were to choose the likelihood of a solid company with good prospects, to choose to be overweight in and aim for that life changing 1000% move over a 10 yr or so period? I ask this company specifically because I am overweight this company and this is my goal. (Up over 200% so far and metrics still make this stock look cheap to me)

Thirdly… if you were to speculate a few different companies, either US or Cnd as your “best guess’s” so to speak of having the likelihood of producing 1000% gains over the next 10yrs or so; what would they be? Thanks for your input and deduct credits as you see fit. Thanks

Q: I do not have technology shares in my RRSP. I'm well covered in energy, financials, utilities, transportation, tel coms and an ETF US equities. There are quite a few techno companies out there. For a long term investment, any suggestions and why.

Q: I want to maximize my total return over the next 5 years without taking on excessive risk. Would switching LNF for TOI set me up to accomplish this goal? If the switch will increase risk beyond my expectation, can you suggest another company? Thank you
