Q: I want to initiate positions in my unregistered investment account, but if I buy all 8 above stocks, each position would be extremely small. (But that is still an option.) Considering thoughts on inflation and interest rates, could you put these in order of priority for purchase now. These positions would primarily be for safety, with a bit of income, which is non-essential, and some growth, which is also not essential. Just looking for your confidence level of these as companies for the longish term.

Q: Thanks for your excellent work. I've recommended your service to friends and you now have made new clients.

Why is ENGH hated so much ? It's in a downtrend for more than 18 months now and I thought that they would find a near term bottom here with the last quarterly earnings report.

Let's recap, investors hate high growth high valuation stocks. Investors also dislike slow growth and decent PE. Where do you see fit ENGH ? I thought we would see the end of the death spiral with this earnings report. Nope, so I guess we are now just a few believers like me and the founder of course holding the bag.

Q: Hello Peter,
If one of your members wants to donate credits, I am happy to take some of them. There have been many questions on Nuvei, and do apologize for another one. However, my biggest concern is not the short sellers. Regulations take time and there will always be companies looking to profit from potentially fake news or reports. I am more concerned about the firms that are happy to raise money from companies like Nuvei, sell stock to their clients (as we see many analysts from firms having much higher targets for the company prior to short seller), but when a negative report comes out, very few come out and defend the company, especially when the company comes out with a release that their guidance is intact. In some ways, it makes one think whether it is really worth putting monies in high growth companies as when something goes wrong, the retail investor is left holding the bag with less monies than invested. I have two portfolios, one conservative with BAM, banks, costco, etc and other with high growth. The conservative portfolio over a ten year period has done much much better. Please comment on the investment industry on their lack of response (well some did but not to a great extent). Also, can you comment why Enghouse is lower and lower after the company announced a potential sale. I was expecting it would surge slightly. Many thanks for the service over the years and the various questions from the investors.

Q: Morning 5i Team,

I currently hold a full position in OTEX and am thinking of switching to either GIB or ENGH.

I would like to get your thoughts on this and which one of GIB and ENGH would be your choice if I indeed decided to switch. Or are there others options (regardless of sectors) that would be your choice.
Cheers,
H
