Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Can you rank the stocks best to worst in your opinion. These are the stock s that are in my Consumer Cyclical (Discretionary) sector. Would you add, swap or remove any of them? My portfolio holdings/thoughts are very similar to your BE Portfolio. Thank you and great job.

Q: Based on available historical data, the above have compounded earnings > 10%. I intend to put these good companies into a RRIF to boost the return of a mostly bond/gic content.

In your opinion would you regard each of the above as a good company that should be able to provide a relatively stable future annual return of 8% to 10% with the exception of a market meltdown. Looking for some reassurance regarding the picks. Thank you.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Recently you gave good analysis as to why FLEX retreated despite a strong QR. You stated it was because they lowered future earning from $0.30 to $0.28-$0.24 for the next quarter. You also stated that you preferred CLS over FLEX. If FLEX is forecasting continued growth for the next 2 years and CLS appears more stagnant...I am wondering why you think CLS has more potential going forward. Or do you just think FLEX will have a misstep. Please clarify. Your analysis is invaluable to us retail investors as we search for facts before we make decisions!
As always...thanks!

Q: Hi, Celestica stock has been range bound recently. As per your views, it is undervalued compared to its peers like, FLEX etc. Are there any near term catalysts? I initiated a 1/3rd position with its induction in Balanced portfolio. Is it worth waiting to add ? Also, when are the results due and could you kindly provide street consensus for Rev, EBITDA and EPS. Thanks

Q: Good morning 5i team,

I’m considering moving on from Linamar and CGI group in search of better growth prospects. I still like both companies, and believe they still have a good outlook, however, after holding each for some time I’ve been growing restless with the share prices seemingly stuck in the mud. Perhaps I’m just being impatient, but I cant help but wonder if these holdings are dead money. At least for the next year or two anyway.

I’m considering switching out Linamar for either New Flyer Industries, or Premium Brands Holdings, and CGI for either Kinaxis or Celestica.

Could you please give your opinion on whether it’s worth being patient with LNR/GIB.A, or a good idea to move on? And if moving on is recommended, would you consider the alternatives I’ve mentioned as good replacements with growth for the next 1-2 years in mind?

As always, thank you for your excellent insight and advice.
Tristan.

Q: With the recent changes to the balanced equity portfolio is it now tech heavy or are you considering CLS Consumer Cyclical (Discretionary) to replace CGX because it is a hardware based business and not software?

Thank you.

Q: In August of this year, you noted that although Celestica was a good company, it was also a "business... that ... is more of a 'later cycle' business, meaning it does better as the economy really gets going."

Would you consider the economy having picked up enough for this company to be a good buy at this time? (I already own Enghouse, Sylogist, Avigilon and Apple in Technology, each with a 4% weighting, except for AVO which is at 2.5%)

I am doing some year-end cleaning up of deadwood, and re-allocating some funds to a few companies with more growth. (Mind you, I'm thinking of taking AVO behind the barn and shooting it, to offer an old farmer's almanac analogy.)

Your thoughts are always valued.
