Q: Hi,I don't see a report on these companies since 2015, are you working on an updated report? Also I thought there was a report on GUD and HWO but they are not coming up on my symbol search. I could of sworn there was one on GUD. Thanks for all your help, I like how the reports are more detailed.

Q: Hello,
What are your thoughts on Nike? I read their quarterly report and I personally believe that although they have an increase in competition from Adidas and Under Armour, that investor's are overly pessimistic. Nike is a great brand and if you look back long enough; have they not created tremendous amounts of share holder value?

Q: Hello Team 5i!
Can I have your opinion on Grande West Transportation. The stock was recently highlighted in a research report on Globe Investor. Company is looking to capture new market share with niche mid-size city buses to replace current full size ones made by competitors that operate 80% empty most of the time. The company is apparently qualified for the Buy America program, looking to the US to drive growth and is at the cusp of great earnings. Seems interesting. The next New Flyer (or their next acquisition)? The time to get on the bus or stay at the curb?
Thanks for all your help.

Q: I have a question about Kinaxis Inc. There has been significant insider selling lately. Does insider selling signal lack of confidence in additional near-term growth?

Q: Your comments re earnings. Looks like solid beat on EPS. Not sure what revenue estimates were. Would you view this company as good long term hold. It's been a bit of a laggard of late. Always value your opinion. Thanks for your excellent service. Chris
PS. Can you suggest a good website to look for EPS and revenue estimates of companies that is easy to navigate.

Q: Hello 5i.
Thanks for the ongoing investor communication/Education.
I have had slightly positive overall results with mixed individual stock selection results utilizing 5i information.
Would have liked to be on the Shop ride but I could not buy into a stock moving up everyday and now doubled in three months. How do I not miss this next time?
I did buy the indicated holdings (SIS, GUD, ET, SYZ, PUR, TNC=cash)
Excluding TNC, the mix leaves me up 6.9% in the time frame of about a year or so..SYZ since 2014 and some various buying along the way.
I am not doing as well as you Portfolio so stock selection and timing clearly makes a difference.
With this list, should the Holdings be at full weights now for all of them?
For example, PUR is under small cap $ allotment while SYZ is over allotment.
Is there something I should be adding that is most appealing today even though I personally may have to hold my nose and buy? (Portfolio is well diversified and balanced)
Also, it is clear I am not benefiting from the stock category you sometimes highlight as "winners" or "1000% gainers" to help propel my portfolio gains. Should I be trying to buy all the investment in your total portfolio or how does one use 5i service to benefit to the max?
Thanks

Q: Hello Corus Entertainment With a 9% dividend is this safe? What is the payout ratio? Would like to buy it for a 2 to 3 year hold.
Q: TOS recently released results with revenue up from 0.15 million to 3.75 with a loss of $0.02.
Revenue growth is massive (albeit from a very low number). Is this growth expected to continue? Where will/could this company be in 1 - 3 years? Any idea when they expect to have positive earnings?
I'm a holder (~1% of portfolio) and wondering if I should add. I personally like the technology and progress of the company thus far but continue to seek your input.

Q: Hi,
I'm a 35 year old balanced/growth investor and looking to add some fixed income to my portfolio. I have mostly dividend and growth stocks in our portfolios and looking to balance our asset allocation. Currently I manage my margin, RSP and TFSA as well as my wife's.
In my margin, I'm holding some good dividend names, for the div tax credit - FTS, BCE, ENB, CU, TRP, AQN, ALA, EIF, CGX, ENF, ECI, WSP, SPB, PWF, AW/un.TO, SLF, ZDV, VDY, XEI. I contribute weekly to my margin and have been regularly adding to ZDV, VDY, and XEI (questrade allows free ETF purchases which is nice). Do you think holding ZDV, VDY, and XEI is necessary or should I consolidate them? The MER's and sector weights are slightly different in each ETF. These ETFs are my biggest holdings in my margin and I know holding ETF's come with a MER cost, so I have added some of those other mentioned individual names. Is this too much overlap and should I be adding to more growth names vs dividend names?
Between both of our TFSA's, we have many growth names that you always mention - CRH, TOY, ITC, KXS, SHOP, SIS, GUD, CCL.B etc, which I think is setup fine.
In our RSPs, we have more balanced steady growth names such as VEE, ZLH, ZRE, ZWU, ZLB, VGH, VRE, ZWH, XEF, ZUH, ZWA, VUS, VGH, ATD.B, MTY, CXI, PPL, AD, GIB.A, FRU, L, BIP.UN, BPY.UN, NFI, BEP.UN, BAM.A, FIH.U, SJ, T. Do you think there is too much overlap here holding the ETF's and its better to sell some and buy individual names? Also if adding some fixed income ETF's, which names above would you swap out and add for a 15-20 year hold for safety, income and some growth (which I would like to add to my RSP for tax efficiency)?
Thanks!

Q: Comment Re: Dennis' recent question. I checked the US Patent and Trademark Office and the company appears to have only one published pending patent application (US2017/0038571 - published last month). Note that there is no guarantee that the claims of the application will be granted following USPTO examination, nor that, if the patent is finally granted, the scope of the claims will not be significantly reduced.
This, combined with the fact that they don't yet have a working demonstrator, makes me very wary of this company. Virtually all of their market value is predicated on them owning strong IP that can be readily "reduced to practice".
