Investment Q&A

Q: Tom

Q: Thank you for your wonderful service and great advice.
Would you be able to give me your thoughts on TC, STC, ENGH, ADCO, VHI?
Could you pick your top 3 from the group that you would add to at current market prices given a 3-5 year term. Does the balance sheet of some of the smaller cap companies scare you?
Thank you kindly

Q: I have room in my TFSA for one of DSG, ENGH, or KXS. Which would you choose and why. I'm in my late 80's so my time frame is 3 to 5 years.

Q: Which of these 3 companies have the type of business that will thrive post COVID 19 and would it be a buy recommendation?
Thank you

Q: I am looking at Enghouse as a possible investment. While I believe it to be a good company, I am wondering if 5i thinks it is a good investment at current price level? or do you think a lower entry price (10-20%) is a very real possibility before we get through the effects of Covid 19 ?

Q: The financial people keep on saying they are looking first at the company`s Balance Sheet. Therefore which, Stocks have the strongest and best Balance Sheet? Also, include US stocks as well as Canadian stocks, because I do hold both.

Q: Hi, Could I get your thoughts on these companies? Im thinking about starting positions in all 4. Please take as many credits as needed, I just put these all in one question since its easier than doing 4 separate.

Q: Hello 5i,
As a pensioner who requires dividends for my income, I have been looking at the above names to potentially add over the next year or so. It is my belief (uneducated guess) that it might take that long before we see any solid bottom and subsequent recovery begin.
In that vein, out of the above, how would you rank these based on the following:
1. Safety of company through a one year to 16 month recession.
2. Safety of the dividend through this same period.
3. Confidence in management team
4. Sector vulnerability
5. Value at current levels
6. Any other considerations, warnings or caveats for any of these ??
i.e. some of these have a decent 5i rating (B or higher), but the rating dates back to 2019, some as early as the summer.
And, finally, are there any suggestions you might have that are not on this list that deserve serious consideration in place of any of the above?
I am in no rush for an answer so take as long as you need to consider this question and deduct as many credits as you see fit - I should have enough to cover it. I hope that this question might also prove beneficial to other 5i members who rely on dividends for income.
All the best to everyone in this very trying and uncertain time!!! Be safe above all!!
Thanks to all at 5i!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Appreciate your report today on recommended stocks to track in this time of turmoil. Above is what additionally interests me and can't believe BMO @ $75.00 Could you review your thoughts for each going forward & thanks!

Q: I would like to buy one more tech in my corp account. Your special report recommended DSG and I like that it has no debt and does not pay a dividend. However, the past, 5i has also stated that you would be most comfortable sitting and holding ENGH for the long term compared to other techs and I am looking at 10 years. I already have some LSPD, KXS and QST in the account and some CAE and LSPD in another account. What would you recommend for max tech in my single portfolio? Thank you!!

Q: ENGH's Q1 seemed to be solid, especially the adjusted EBITDA amount and margin. Did you see anything to worry about?

Q: Lspd, Engh, Otex and Dsg, which one is faster growth and which one is the cheapest , which one you like it better?
Many thanks

Q: Whats expected from ENGH on Thursday? Thx
