Q: What is your opinion on the news release regarding ACCC reviewing LINK Group & putting off an answer until September.
Do you feel this stock is going to drift downward, because of this over hanging issue.
Thank you very much appreciate your good work.

Q: I see good value in each of these companies and am planning on taking a position in one of them.
For a 3-5 year hold in my TFSA, which would be your choice and why?
Thanks, Rick

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
On June 14th Darren asked for your top 4 Canadian industrials . You listed in order WSP STN CAE GDI and NFI

Absent were ATA TFII BYD and TFII all of which I thought you favoured more than all of the ones listed (especially NFI) except WSP?

Q: I would like to capture a tax loss on Otex. Would Engh be a good proxy while I wait to decide whether to rebuy Otex. As always, thanks for your help.

Q: TOI is at a 52 week low despite having a good quarter on its latest report.
It is dropping on higher volume than normal.

Yes it is a tough market for growth stocks but the high volume scares some.

Thanks

Q: ? Over a 5 day period this stock has went from $75 to $64 as of June 14.
Thanks

Q: With the general sell off in tech stocks, I'm currently down about 40% on each of these companies. However, I remain long term positive on them and would like your opinion as whether now is the time to add to my positions or whether you feel there may be further pain ahead for the sector and I'd be better off biding my time?

Thanks, Rick

Q: Pls. compare, contrast and rank these two companies

thanks, Hugh

Q: NO BS just straight goods. I currently have 2000 KXS and a collar trade to protect it just till this Friday.

In recent questions, you don't seem to be as positive on this KXS as I've seen in the past.

After my protection expires shall I let it be exercised and come in sometime down the road.

(Don't worry about reentry timing)

Thanks

Q: Given the current market backdrop, do you feel this makes a good entry point for TCS? Thanks

Q: What are your top picks for industrials in Canada?

Thank you.

Q: There is a lot of negative sentiment toward Shopify right now. It worries me when early investors like Mawer pull their money and others seem very bearish. Are you still bullish long term? I currently hold a big loss and wonder if I should keep holding on?

Q: How is CSU looking versus its historical valuation? Is it getting interesting to add here, or above its average longer-term valuation?

Thank you

Q: What is Sylogist’s dividend coverage ratio currently?

Q: I have to take issue with (IMHO) inconsistencies in answers to related questions by 5i personnel. Because the answers are never signed I'm not sure who is answering what.

My issues are with my question on ENGH and a subsequent question on ENGH by Ronald

ON May 26th I questioned holding ENGH and a portion of your response stated "We continue to like the long-term prospects and we would be fine with the stock for a long-term hold. We think ENGH has a solid recovery potential, once the market calms down and inflation risks peak."

To me that was a rather generic response that I've seen you write on many stocks." Your comments were IMHO not negative on the stock, so I decided to hold.

Then on June 9 you repsonded to Ronald : "ENGH has missed a lot of its recent earnings expectations" and "We believe that time will be needed before this company reverses its momentum and it finds its footing. We would prefer to sit this one out for the time being."

Now, I realize that my question was pre earnings, I believe Ronalds' was post earnings. BUT had I had the comments you gave to Ronald I probably would have sold the position.

I found the second answer much more pertinent and salient and would have made my action very different.

Q: What Canadian stocks would you be picking up today in this selloff?

Q: Hi, I would appreciate if you can provide your feedback about WELL Health Technologies. Pros, Cons, potential, Balance sheet & Cash etc. Do you find it attractive for Long term hold.
Thanks

Q: I have the above companies in my TFSA which, due to the tech sell off, are now down to about 1/3 of a full position. I do not require any money from my TFSA for at least 10 years so have a long timeframe. I also own a full position of CSU in my wife’s TFSA which I will continue to hold.
I am thinking of selling one of these positions and distribute the proceeds in the remaining positions.
Could you rank upside potential of these companies?
Or should I just leave it alone and let time be my friend?

Q: After selling ENGH yesterday, I am reviewing the above holdings and only want to keep stocks that have a potential to generate decent future income, over the next 5 years or may be acquired by another company. These are long-term holdings and I don't need the cash, but could use the tax loss. Don't want to sell any company with a positive future. Any of the above holdings that you would sell now?
Thanks!

Q: I have been considering an investment in SYZ to replace my MAL shares .... After reading your report and previous answers it looks to me like I would be getting a company with revenue growth in 2022 of 43% and for 2023 of 80% while collecting a juicy close to 7% dividend .... But a couple of things give me pause .... First Simply Wall Street { link included at the end of the question } claims earnings will decrease by 32.4% per year for the next three years . I am having a hard time reconciling how how revenue will have those lofty growth numbers while simutaneously earnings will decline rather nastily ..... Could you explain please ? And comment on the other risk factors Simply Wall Street cites ? .... Also in another recent question 5I commented that SYZ was susceptible to both inflation and recession more than a list of other companies the member asked about ..... Could you elaborate on that thesis ? .....Thanks for your great service ......
