Investment Q&A

Q: This stock is not a buy and hold based on it's history. Is it worth buying for up tick and sale?

Q: I refer to an earlier question discussing MDA's $10 million equity investment in MAXQ in which 5i alluded that MAXQ was in the "lottery ticket" category. So, I have been a fan of MDA but am now considering an exit. In 5i's opinion, is MDA's $10M investment in MAXQ visionary, or a "hail mary"?

Q: I half positions in the ten stocks listed and I am down 12%+ in all of them. Please rank them in terms of best candidate(s) to increase to a full position now vs waiting. Also advise if the lowest ranked should just be exited altogether

Q: Why is MDA stock price falling?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
I've owned MDA long enough to have done well by it. Now, however, since its vulnerability to events beyond its control has twice been demonstrated I have concluded that I'll sell and take my money and run, unless there is reasonable possibility that it too will be sold to a buyer in the space biz.
Knowing what you know about MDA and the universe it operates in, can I have your opinion as to whether or not MDA is or may be an attractive takeover target?
Thanks 5i,
Peter

Q: Considering the uncertainty about its major customer, but taking into account the crucial nature of its products and expertise, does the stock present a buying opportunity at $27.5-$28, present levels, after a drop of 20% over two days, for someone to start a new position ?

We are aware that BMO and Scotia analysts have brought their price targets down to $36 and $40 ( Outperform ratings ) respectively, lowering their P/E multiple to discount possible impact of this news.

Thank You

Q: Hello, in what order today would you buy these stocks and at what price KSI,PNG,GRID,VHI,BLN,MDA,ZDC,HME,GSY,PRL,LMN,VNP,GLXY

Thank you

Q: Which would you buy today for growth over the next few years? MDA or VHI?

Q: Hi, trimmed some ATZ today before earnings to manage position size, having a nice 120% gain but looking to rebalance some names and sectors. MDA and ZDC are two names I have smaller positions in but would like to add, currently around 1%. ZDC since breaking out Sept 18th has had a nice run and volume has been increasing. MDA has rebounded as well from the low 30's. AXON is another one I would like to add to, currently around 3%. Which would you prefer to add to currently? AXON and ZDC are trading a high fwd PE valuations so not much room for error in growth, but is the PE justified and can earnings grow faster than the stock price?

With the famous quote of "Water your flowers and cut your weeds", this is something I overanalyze when allocating funds. I have names such as TFII, TRI, DSG, IFC, WELL, ISRG that have been struggling lately, but you often mention that once we see a recovery in the sector, these could rebound quickly. But in the meantime, you have high quality stocks that have been holding up well that I want to add to as well. So often times, I'm trimming some of these losers as they go down, but then they come roaring back and now you only have a small position in these names. Also, I like to hold high quality names and let them compound instead of trimming them all the time. How do you best balance this dilemma? Thank you!

Q: How would you rank these companies for growth over the next year?

Thanks.
David

Q: The stock is rebounding from its recent hit. I like to buy winners on the way up. Good time to add?
Thx.

Q: Dear 5i
If one already owns MDA does it make sense to buy KTOS ? Are they different enough to own both , or if only one was sufficient , which one would you buy ?
Thanks
Bill C

Q: Peter; What would you think of a switch from TFII to MDA? Both in the dog house but which could start barking first ? Thanks.

Q: How would you rate these 4, particularly in terms of growth potential?10 yr hold.
Thanks.

Q: Please state which of these would be a buy at today's prices and if not, where you would target entering a new position. Also please rank based on potential for 12 year gains from today's (or tomorrow if you reply Thursday).
