Q: Hi 5i,
A question born out of wanting to save both time and paper (or perhaps just out of laziness...):
Do you know of any site where the relevant metrics of companies can be displayed side by side, for convenient comparison purposes. For example, right now I'm interested in comparing ENB and TRP to decide whether to offload some or all of the former in favour of the latter. I can look up each on 5i and print the page(s) for each containing the metrics, but I'd much prefer to bring them - and maybe one or two others like KEY and PPL for example - up all together and review on screen all at once in vertical side by side displays, but I don't know of any site that will let me do that. I wonder if you, or any members who read this, might?
Thanks!
Peter

Q: What would you consider to be a minimum net profit margin I should be targeting for companies? I was interested in Magna on this pullback but noticed their NPM is in the mid/low single digits which seems skinny for a manufacturer. Thanks

Q: We have BN (full position) and BAM in Canadian $ accounts. 5i appears to consider these very good choices for part of a portfolio foundation. Do you have similar choices to recommend that we could put in our US$ accounts (TFSA, RRIF) ?
Thank you, as always.

Q: Hi 5i,

Further to Ken’s question on February 13, can you explain why you prefer PSK over FRU?

For some reason most, but not all, analyst pick PSK over FRU. When I look at the following measures, FRU seems like the better choice.

PSK FRU
Rev Growth 3 Years 37.83 26.23
Rev Growth 5 Years 8.98 8.62
ROE 11.79 22.44
ROA 9.12 18.17
ROC 10.94 18.69
PE 17.20 11.90
PCF 9.70 7.90
PBV 1.98 2.49
Yield 4.18% 6.80%

Thanks for your opinion.
