Investment Q&A

Q: I'm considering taking a position in the sub-prime Canadian lenders. Between Propel and Goeasy, which one would you choose to maximize total returns given the current market price? Is there an advantage in holding both with a (50/50) position? Planned holding period is 3 to 5 years.

Thanks for the great service.

Q: What happens to the earnings of Propel if the US economy goes into recession? I’m confused because I have heard recessions cause more people to use their type of lending. Yet you would think defaults would rise significantly. What would the net effect be?

Q: Hi Group please share your top 4 sectors c/w 3 stocks in each. (please rate the 3 in order of preferred order to add) also if you could suggest a good entry price (i intend to average in over the next 6 months presently no defense /manufacturing exposure also light on health care. I have 20% of my portfolio in cash. thanks

Q: How would you rank the following for a growth oriented long-term hold: DEFI, DCBO, HPS.A, KSI, VHI, PRL, GSY, ATZ, CLS, NTR, PBL, DRX

Q: Hello Team,

What are your thoughts on PRL here? Do you know why they don’t list out current assets and liabilities?

Thank you

Q: Hi team,
Is there anything to note on Prl earnings after the conference call? I caught some of it and it sounded good to me. Yet the stock is falling currently 11%. I don’t see where all the negativity is coming from here and what’s not to like here.

Thanks

Q: Hi Team,

Why is PRL trading so low after publishing good results. Forward PE of 5.22. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Ben

Q: Please comment on earning. Thanks a million.

Q: What is expected from Propel in the earnings release, Wednesday.

Q: Hi 5i, assuming Hurricane POTUS looses his bluster, one year out how would you rank the above small caps for potential?

Q: Hi group short on financials /gold /silver / oil.... so in what order and what entry price would you add Presently own GSY (4 % position.) also GDXJ (2% weighting ) ARX (5% position ) FFH 5% position...any other suggestions in these sectors are welcome. thanks for your help with this

Q: Favorite 5 names to add to a TFSA for long term appreciation with the recent sell off. Agnostic of sector and can stomach high degree of volatility

Q: What would your market call top 3 picks today

Q: Hi Team,
These Tariff moves have gone from "not a big concern" to a major concern with anyone holding a growth portfolio. Currently I am down 23% from peak in short order since January, due to a higher concentration in Tech names and other growth names. An amazing fall considering I thought I was holding all solid names (such as NVDA. PRL, SHOP, TTD as examples) Do you view this as 2022 all over again? Or do you think the market will bottom sooner than it did in that year? Hard to say I know based on Trump saying that he no longer cares much about the market this go around. A much different tune that last term. However I suppose that could change overnight. I don't imagine Musk in enjoying Tsla's fall; perhaps that will end up in a clash with Trump on trade policies or hopefully talk some sense into him at the very least. Looking for your take on the current situation. Lastly, I assume that since major damage is already done would I be best to just hold the line at this point? Or sell out some growth names even at current levels? If buying new purchases what would be your top 3 names to add to at current levels?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Within each of their sectors, CPX and GSY seem to have suffered larger drops than their peers.

Can you comment on why they each have been so negatively impacted and provide your thoughts on whether you think they should be continued to be owned or do you have other preferences in these sectors, if one's goal is income and some growth.

Thank you

Q: Hi,

Propel has a lot to like. Great growth, consistent dividend raises, and a recent expansion into the UK market. Is there any reason why the share price has come off so much in the last little while? It's down 30-40% from highs a couple months ago, which seems overdone to me. Is there any risk to their business with regards to tariffs or other trade related action from the man in the white house? I know earnings are expected this week, can you share the consensus estimate please? Thanks.

Q: I am getting ready to DCA into these stocks in an unregistered account with higher than average risk profile. According to me, these stocks had a bit of a pullback with possibly more on the way.

In what order would you DCA into the stocks mentioned above? Is there any stock that you think should be excluded from this list?

Thanks

Q: Hi there - between these two beaten up stocks, which would you be more bullish on? And if there is another stock that's not these two that you'd be even more bullish on, which would that be? Thank you!

Q: Hi team,
I am looking to invest for my kids resp. Currently only hold a balanced fund and Ppl which I bought in the 2020 collapse. Now I am wondering about buying a quality stock which has been unjustifiably (as far as we can tell) sold off in the recent sell off of growth names. I am thinking of Prl. Would you consider it safe enough to invest in a resp account? I also note that its div is decent while I wait for recovery . I have about 4-5 years before I would have to sell it . If you don’t think Prl is a good fit do you have better suggestions ?

Thanks ,
Shane
