Q: Hi 5i,
Knowing very little about the machinations of the gold market..I bought into WDO back in Aug 2020 close to YTD highs. Currently down close to 40%.

I have read your previous Jan 25 response so realize you see no reason to change course despite the current negative sentiment and analysts downgrades.

My questions is in what time frame and under what conditions would you expect WDO to make a recovery to previous levels or at least reverse current trend? 1 year , 2 years ect..... your best guess is appreciated.;)

Thx
Jim

Q: Thanks 5I team for all the insights. It is very helpful. I am planning to sell Sherritt and American Hotels with a big loss in my RESP portfolio rather than wait for any potential recovery, if any. Is that a good plan? Looking to replace it with a good growth stock. The time horizon is 5 to 6 years. I am fine with taking the risk and being aggressive. It will be about 3.5% of the RESP portfolio. Can you please suggest such a good growth stock with that time Horizon? I have no sector or country preference for this.

Q: Can I get your thoughts on BBU? It seems outrageously cheap at only $3bil market cap when Westinghouse is producing $650mil in Ebitda and the company earned $1.3bil in ebitda in 2020. The portfolio of businesses looks solid, with high growth potential on a few (Clarios and BRK stick out to me). Am I missing something? Thanks for all you do.

Q: I am confused concerning your point of view regarding the growth potential of SYZ. Recently, you gave the following answer :
''We would view it as an income stock and see any gains as a bonus. Growth has not been great, but it has a solid record of raising its dividend and paying special dividends. It has too much cash and has been slow at making acquisitions. It should have a very strong 2021 in a recovery and we would still view it overall in a positive light. But there are faster-growing companies, with higher valuations. We would be fine holding it, but would classify it as income/slower growth.''
But in your last June Company Report, you grade the 5 Yr. Revenue Growth as A- and the 5 Yr. EPS Growth as A+. It looks to me contradictory. What am I missing?
In the past ten years, there was a yearly revenu growth of 15,5 % and 17,5 % for the earnings, which look great to me.
Thanks. I really appreciate your sound expertise.

Q: I had recently saw a comment on Seeking Alpha that Visa was a good holding during a period of runaway inflation. Regardless of whether or not you see inflation reaching that level., would you agree that V as a good holding in that environment? Would you include any others (Canadian or US) ?
