Q: Hi Peter,Ryan and 5i team,
Our grandson’s RESP ( age 7) is overweight in technology having Descarte and Kinaxis. Both have done very well, Do you think it is time to rebalance or continue holding. Which company in your opinion should we sell if any.
If we sell, we would like to add another holding. Please suggest a couple of names that would round out his portfolio.
Thank you as always and enjoy the summer.

Q: Follow up to my question about CAE having 121% institutional ownership. You answered.
: "Generally this refers to the percentage of the float, and the results can be skewed with a large short interest. But, the short interest on CAE is minimal, and Bloomberg shows 86%. This is likely a data error from our third party provider and we will contact them."
Firstly am I assuming correctly that Bloomberg is showing 86% institutional ownership, not short interest.
Secondly where would you suggest I look to double check the info in the profile page? Is there a web site you would recommend that would confirm the data? I have checked several and no two give me the same information.

Q: The listed companies each carry about a 1% weighing in my portfolio. There are no tax implications and I am positive on all of these. I am trying to reduce my overall holdings to about 25. I believe each company has its merits but I will never hit a home run with such a small investment. Can you advise which ones you would keep and consolidate or perhaps suggest something else to put all of the proceeds toward.

Thank you

What do you think of selling CAE ? Most dividend paying stocks I’ve looked at seem rather expensive. I already have full positions in AQN, BNS,BAM, CAR.UN, SUN, VGG, VDY, half position inT. Any dividend paying stocks that you would consider reasonable priced or discounted?

Q: Hi 5i team,
I’ve half position in CAE and in MG. I’m thinking of starting a half position in TFII. All three stocks have gone up quite a bit in the past year with the EV fads and the post covid fads. Which of these three companies is the best buy at the current price for 2-3 years hold and your reasoning behind? Thanks.

Q: Hi,
I hold the above companies in my TFSA and would like to make the portfolio more concentrated for better upside potential. If you were forced to cut three positions and add the proceeds to any of the existing holdings, which one’s would you choose? Long term growth is the only objective.
Thanks

Q: Hi
Your views about CAE in Travel Sector which might benefit once travel restriction is removed. CAE managed to finance an acquisition of L3Harris by raising equity of almost C$1-bil at 31.25. At present its trading around 35 to 35.50. Do you think this price is reasonable or stable or chances that it might fall back to 31.25 and settle there before there might be any recovery in price? Your thought please.
Thanks

What are the pros and cons of public offering versus brought deal from a company’s and investor's point of view? Is one financing deemed "better" than the other? Thank you.
