Q: Hi Team,
Which of these names do you see doing best from current levels 5 yrs from now? Sq, LMN, WELL, or SHOP. I am currently holding a few shares of sq and am considering selling out for a 18% loss and putting the funds to one of the other names mentioned. Whats your thoughts ? Or should I just continue to wait for a recovery in Sq? Or if you have any other “must buy” names today that are better than all the ones mentioned I would like to hear those ideas too. The holding is inside a tfsa. Thanks for your advice !

Q: If you didn't have any shares in these companies wouldn't this be a good time to buy and slowly add over the next couple years. My thinking is CTS just has to go back to three dollars and your up 20%. They are buying back shares, dividend, huge ebitda etc. Board makes a few tweeks and sentiment and direction changes. I understand if you have a position to hold. Do you generally agree with the above.

Q: Sorry for another NVEI question.
In the responses on NVEI, 5i considers it a HOLD. I'm down 60% in a taxable account and will probably sell for tax reasons. My plan was to buy it back after 30 days.

What would it take for your recommendation to become a "buy" or "add to an existing position"? On the other hand at what point does it become a "sell"?

Are you considering the same "hold" status for the growth portfolio of will you be making changes with NVEI?
Thanks

Q: Hi!

Here is a puzzler for you....

In essence my question boils down to if/when one should sell an "A"- quality. dividend paying stock.

Example: I bought 100 shares of BNS at $55 and it went all the way to $92. I am still holding it (did not sell at all). It is now at $65. I get about $400/year in dividends.

A quick calculation shows that had I sold at $92, I would have gained about $4000 which is about 10 years worth of dividends without the wait.

Is there a handy approach to win in this sort of situation?

Q: The above are my overweighted energy holdings. Can you please prioritize them as I have to reduce my weighting. Is there any I should exit. Again Thanks in advance.

Q: Do we know which large customer did NVEI lose? At what cost?

We often see sell/buy transactions with no divulged details. Being naïve, shouldn’t the investors know these details, when they could impact the financials. Do analysts know more than we do? I’m aware we are talking private companies and their competitors, but it is a bit frustrating.

Thanks for your work.
