Q: This company is at March 2020 lows. Do you have conviction in this name or would you suggest putting sale proceeds into DSG, PBH or CAE for instance? I have plenty of IT exposure already. Thank you.

Q: I'm going to increase my position in either MAL or AND { both at around 1.2% position } to somewhere around 2.5% ..... Which of the two does 5I prefer at today's prices ? ..... Can you comment on AND's earnings report ...... And problems with increasing rents, hiring drivers, and fuel prices going forward ? ...... Simply Wall Street claims MAL's earnings are set to grow 106.9% per year for the next three years.

Many thanks!

Q: Do you know if any of the above companies have exposure directly to Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. Alternatively, would any of the above benefit from sanctions on Russia/Belarus (for example buyers switching to NTR for supplies from Russian suppliers)? Thank you as always.

Q: I find myself on the fence with Savaria. I have held it a long time and consequently have had it grow from a partial position initially to full position without adding to it. With interest rates due to rise I assume it will cost SIS more to service their debt (eventually at least), and if inflation continues to run I would prefer owning a company that has demonstrated an ability to increase their dividend. In your last report, under “Valuation” you state “… we expect SIS to maintain its record of annual dividend increases”, but I note in the Report Card of that same report it gives 5 Yr Dividend Growth a C rating and what looks like a -25%? Can you please comment?
Thanks,

Q: Hello

I have about $25K in cash to invest with a 15 year time horizon. I own many of your balanced and income portfolio CO’s already, I probably own too many with 25-30 in my portfolio that’s high 6 figures. I don’t own these 2 - GSY or SHOP.

Would you recommended added these two new positions to my portfolio, or just increase positions with my current names - WSP, TFII, BAM.a, the banks, etc.


Thanks,

Q: Magna is currently dropping significantly and I understand they have 6 manufacturing/assembly factories in Russia along with 2500 employees. What do you foresee the impact this year and longer term.

I'm sure inflation and the semi-conductor shortage are also having an impact on stock price, yet I expect to a lesser extent.

Do you see this as a buy and what would be a good target price?

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,

My question concerns CCL. I bought in 2017 just before the 5-1 share split. I am now underwater , not counting dividends for what is approaching a five year hold. I do not dislike the Company, however am concerned that I am holding onto dead weight. While I realize the Company had tremendous growth leading up to the split, it seems that it is now rangebound. Can you offer any reassurance that this phase is consolidation and that there is more growth on the way?
