Investment Q&A

Q: What is your opinion on the earnings from LNR? Is there any fundamental reason for the dip? Thanks.

Q: DO you think that the auto parts suppliers,in spite of Europe,are a good buy at this time?

Q: Why is it selling off. Should I sit tight if I own it. Thank you.

Q: re: LNR

Saw your comment a few days ago. I am seriously considering a position in Linamar because I believe the auto industry has a bright future in the next couple of years and I feel Magna is a little pricey at it's current levels which leaves Linamar as an alternative for getting involved.

I think I know the answer to your opinion re: my comment on a the bright future. Do you think my comment on Magna is accurate? And with keeping in mind the Sept market blues (as usual) we are seeing right now, would your advice be to buy Linamar now, wait and see or not buy?

Stock is up today 1.52%

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi 5 I Team -- Might there be any further insight into Linamar's (LNR) performance, of late? After its 52-week high in June, it's been on a very slow, but steady decline, despite a very good last Quarter. There is much rumbling among analysts that the automotive industry is "nearing its peak" and that investors in the auto sector should be thinking of taking their profits. I am up 24.9% at this point, and would prefer not to see my profits erode anymore, especially as I don't have an exceptionally long time frame for this portfolio -- less than 2 years. Do you feel the auto sector has had its day, or is it just September Doldrums? I notice that Magna, AutoCanada also have been grinding to a slow halt. Is this just a resting period for the sector, or is there something flying under the radar that most ordinary investors are missing?

Q: Linamar (LNR) seems to be taking a bit of a hit the past week and is off 8% from its high compared to 1% for Magna (MG). Coming up to earnings reports, are you hearing anything that might be of concern?

Q: Hi

I would appreciate your comments on the recent rise in Linamar stock.
Any takeover talk?

Thanks

Q: Could you comment,please,on Linemar's latest earnings.(1st Qtr.)

Q: Hi Peter and group. Can you comment on LNR performance of late. Some are saying sell?

Q: Canaccord Genuity downgraded Linamar to "sell" from "hold" but maintained a $50 (Canadian) price target. It says its margins are near peak levels and the stock is pricey. Do you agree with this assessment?

Q: Hello 5i Team,
LNR: This is a question about trading Linamar. Looking at Level II, most trades are always for 100 shares, and maybe the odd 200 lot, or 50. How is it that the share price rises so much (3% at this writing) on such small lot sizes? What don't I understand?
Many thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and 5I team,
Have you changed your opinion of the auto parts sector since the announcement of the South Korea deal? We know you like Linamar's fundamentals, as per your answer to the question on march 4th. Cannacord downgraded to hold and CIBC upgraded to outperform. We hold it in our TFSA with a great 48% gain. Is it time to take half off the table?
We value your opinion.

Q: Hi peter, I'm looking for stocks with strong fundamentals and cheap valuations that you expect to perform well this year. I know you mention Macro MCR quite a bit. What are 3 other ones you would recommend?

Q: Do you have an opinion on Linamar LNR...thanks

Q: We own shares of Linamar[LNR] . Their recent report of 15% sales increase and 53% earnings increase sent the stock soaring. Do you think we should continue to hold or take profits[ a TFSA holding]. We are up 24%. Your comments are greatly appreciated .

Q: Dear 5i
I don/t have any stocks in the financial services sector .
If you could only pick one that has great growth potential over the next 1-2 years which one would it be ,fsz ?
Also magna or Linamar ? Both have done great but which will likely be the better one going forward .
Thanks again .

Q: Linemar (LNR)is in take-off mode today after posting great results.Do you think it wise to add some today or would it be best to wait for more stability and consolidation?Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter, I want to add a small cap stock to my portfolio, I understand it is riskier to move into the small caps, but I am looking at a small position with with some shorter term (6 months to one year) growth potential. I am looking at MRE, AIS, LNR, and LSI as possibilities. Please give me your thoughts on these stocks, and which two you would consider a buy. Thanks!

Q: hi
Would you buy Linamar now ahead of its earnings ? It seems to have been consolidating since the last earnings. I was thinking of selling my paladin to put into Linamar. (I know that is not the same sector)

thanks

Q: Hi Peter:
I enjoyed watching you on BNN last pm
I have positions in MG and a small position in LNR
both have done well, I wonder if it makes sense if I have
more cash coming in to put it in LNR or put in a position in
MRE ?
Both LNR and MRE pays a small dividend which helps !
Thanks
