Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

For a TFSA that includes all sectors except for Consumer Cyclical (don't know how I let this happen!), what would be your top five Canadian picks in Consumer Cyclicals for 2022? Should all 6K go into one of them, or should two or three be purchased for diversification purposes?

Thanks in advance for your valued assistance, and the best of the season to everyone at 5i as well as your members. I've learned so much from all of you!

Q: I want to initiate positions in my unregistered investment account, but if I buy all 8 above stocks, each position would be extremely small. (But that is still an option.) Considering thoughts on inflation and interest rates, could you put these in order of priority for purchase now. These positions would primarily be for safety, with a bit of income, which is non-essential, and some growth, which is also not essential. Just looking for your confidence level of these as companies for the longish term.

Q: Hi 5i team,

I have a 2% position in ATZ and 1.5% in BYD. Both did well, but I'm thinking of more concentrated names in my portfolio. Considering that they are both in the same sector, would it be a good move to have all allocation in ATZ?

Happy holidays!

Matt

Q: dont really get why tax loss sellers wait until last day to sell acuity.
assuming analyst is right and it is too cheap too ignore along with 5i, by the time the sellers can buy it back 30 days later the january bounce will be long over, does not make sense.
can you comment

Q: Hello again and thanks for your insights on AGNC, I think I will set that one aside for now. Searching the Q&A I have assembled this list of 4 companies for diversified exposure to residential and industrial real estate in Canada and the US (a bit of global with Prologis is appealing). In your opinion does this group provide complementary exposure? Can you suggest an addition to this list or is there one that you would remove?

Q: Can you list your potential biggest January bouncers, maybe 5 Canada and 5 US for aggressive investors? Thx!

Q: These names have A to A- ratings in your reports over the past 1 year.
Looking for good upside for small position in TFSA with lowish risk of downside for 3 to 5 year hold. Which of these would be your first and second top picks?
Thanks so much.
Best of the season to all at 5i and all my 5i co-clients.

Q: With all clouds hanging over stock what is risk reward, would you start position now tax lost selling as subsided,Thanks Happy Holidays

Q: Hello, Kinaxis is down by about 25% from a month ago. Is there someting new to worry about (lawsuit)? Is it because of a short attack or/and tax loss selling? Thank you

Q: Lightspeed
In regard to Clayton‘s question this morning on your profile page there is a bar chart that shows institutional buying and selling, how often is that updated?
Would you give that chart any consideration when buying or selling a stock

Q: A tale of 2 companies. CSU is acquiring companies at a record pace and ENGH says everything is too expensive. Thoughts please?

Thx

Q: A big question for this one...LSPD has traditionally used it's stock as currency to fund it's growth by acquisition strategy. By nature of it's recent huge decline from it's highs, does this not now make any new growth very expensive and far more dilutive to current shareholders?

When the company is not making a profit and it's acquisition currency (stock) just took about $115.00 share haircut off it's highs, what's this going to do to it's ability to meet growth expectations?

Won't they either have to make smaller acquisitions which won't move the needle as much for growth rate OR have to issue more stock at lower prices, thereby further reducing the current value of the stock (dilutive to current shareholders) and does this not change the fundamentals of the story?

Do we know what they are doing to generate growth organically and what their expected growth rate would be organically (ie without acquisitions) until they can streamline their operations and hopefully become profitable? Would you add to this now, sell or hold?

Q: Everyone.
I am looking for the current number of shares held by institutions and insiders. I can find data to the end of September or some in October. When does insiders and institutions report the number of shares they hold on LSPD?
Clayton

Q: Thanks for your excellent work. I've recommended your service to friends and you now have made new clients.

Why is ENGH hated so much ? It's in a downtrend for more than 18 months now and I thought that they would find a near term bottom here with the last quarterly earnings report.

Let's recap, investors hate high growth high valuation stocks. Investors also dislike slow growth and decent PE. Where do you see fit ENGH ? I thought we would see the end of the death spiral with this earnings report. Nope, so I guess we are now just a few believers like me and the founder of course holding the bag.

Q: thoughts on latest acquisition please?

Thx

Q: Hi the great team, can you explain volatility of shopify?

Q: I have a feeling there are still people selling LSPD now for the tax loss, meaning to buy it back in 30 days. It might work out for them but selling it now means having to wait until the middle of January to buy it back. I think the bounce will happen sooner than that and the people who really make the gain are the buyers picking it up at fire-sale prices right now? What do you think?

Q: I had been wanting to buy Enghouse Systems for a few months but since it’s highs of 77$ it has been steadily coming down. Now sitting at 48$ and reporting good earnings for Q4 do you think it would be a good buying opportunity or should I wait until 2022? If so what would be a good entry price.

Q: Could I have your assessment of Enghouse earnings.
Thank-you.
