Q: i bave large positions in both companies.
gsy is cheap, beats earnings every quarter, increase their dividend, return on equity approaching 30% , target increased to 85, yet does not seem to get much love.
lspd is a momentum stock increasing revenue by huge amounts, everyone loves the company, no earnings.
i know completely different companies but why such a discrepancy. is it because gsy is a subprime lender.

Q: I looked at Morningside Quant Reports Thompson Reuters Reports and other stats on the above stocks and found the following:
TSGI. 16% Discount Undervalued. PEG .47 Moderate Buy/Buy ratings from 6 analysts

NFI. 26% Discount Undervalued 9X P/E Moderate Buy/Buy Rating 6.2% Yield , 4 analysts

COV. 47% Discount Undervalued. 0 analysts

MX. Significantly Undervalued 7.5 P/E., PEG .11 Moderate Buy/ Hold Rating, 4.34% Yield, 9 Analysts.

SU. 21% Discount, Significantly Undervalued 10.5 P/E, 7.24 PEG, Moderate Buy/Buy Rating 4.44% Yield 15 Analysts

PHO. 35% Discount, Undervalued. 15.2 P/E, Strong Buy/Buy Rating, 3 analysts.

What value do you place on Quantitative Reports as compared to other analyses? How useful are they? Are the above stocks overdone on the downside primarily due to recent global markets uncertainty or because of their own performance. The above stocks seem to have been severely re-evaluated. The idea of exiting a falling position is to eventually replace it with a position with better upside and less risk which seems to be the challenging bit. Your comments and opinions please.

Q: Is now is a good time to average down on TSGI, either in general or for my specific case? I.E. is the likelihood of a turn-around for TSGI good enough to invest a little more at a time of high pessimism for this stock (buy low)?

Context for my case:
o I hold TSGI in my RSP,
o it is currently 1.1% of all our portfolios (which are up 20.7% YTD),
o it is down 56% since I bought in July 2018,
o I don't need the money from TSGI for a few years (I'm under 60).

Thanks.

Here is the summary of the 5i report from June of 2018:
"It is hard to not be impressed by what TSGI has accomplished. Over just five years, the company has grown from a market-cap of $500 million to $7.2 billion. While it has been a messy story, this is another case of a great Canadian company that no one ever talks about. Even if TSGI is trading at a premium to peers (we do not think it is materially more expensive), the valuation is cheap with respect to the growth and cash flow the company has. Meanwhile, we think the SBG purchase has a lot of potential over the long-term but this of course could lead to a few mixed quarters as costs related to the purchase work their way through results. We are upgrading TSGI one notch to ‘A-’."

Q: I would like your opinion on MSI going forward.
I have owned MSI in my TFSa for several years now & it has done very well, however how does it compare it to another industrial companies such as CAE going forward. Some parameters of comparison that would interest me would be debt level, holding up in a recession, insider ownership.
If you think a switch from MSI would be advantageous at this point are there other companies that you would recommend over CAE?
