Q: Hi,
Glad that TSU:CA is now included in the Model Growth Portfolio. I recently took my starter position in this stock as I found its valuation appealing.

Looking at the EV/Sales multiple this stock is trading at, 1.3X 2021 revenue and 1x 2022 revenue. I consider the stock very cheap on that metric with good growth expected in the upcoming quater's and next year too.

May I get your thoughts on it?
Thanks,

Q: Apparently I am not overly observant because I just realized my WSP has gone from the income stock I first purchased to a growth stock. As a result of the share price going up four-fold while the dividend remained the same I am now sitting on a big capital gain and an outsized position with a relatively low yield. In your income portfolio it sticks out for the same reason, contributing a huge “since inception” return but low yield. I would like to at least reduce it and put the funds to work in another industrial with higher yield but can’t land on anything. I want to like MAL but of course it is much smaller cap. Any suggestions? What would you replace it with in the Income Portfolio if you were so inclined?

Q: Hi 5i,
Please provide current outlook for MX. I know (painfully) the company is highly cyclical and I would like to know if there is any runway left? Given latest stock strength how does reaching 1 year high of $62 look to you in your crystal ball on the scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high)? What do the methanol futures tell you?
Please deduct as many credits as you see fit.

Q: Would you still give Constellation Software (CSU.CA)
an A Rating today? And why?
Thank you.

Q: Hi,

CAE seems to be rangebound between ~$34-39 over the past six months. I realize six months is a VERY short time frame to base investing on, but as the price is approaching the top range yet again-I am contemplating moving on.

In your opinion, what do you think it will take to break through the $39ish price range?

thanks for all the great advice over the years.

Q: I have cash for a new full position. I run an mix of your balanced and income portfolio for my cad exposure. Of the above names which would you add a full position right now. I am also considering just batting for the average with SPY or XEF. balanced shifting to income follower, 5 year window looking for good entry point into one of the names above.

Q: I have owned this stock for a while and am looking at exiting it to deploy the cash into growth stocks. The bid/ask spread has always been quite wide historically it seems. What is the best way to sell this type of stock with large Bid/Ask spreads?

Q: There was a short report released on Seeking Alpha yesterday on PBH. Well an article with a short thesis anyway. I've read through it and yes some points made were small concerns I had like the debt starting to be a concern again and that they will likely have to do another equity raise to get money to help with that. Also to a lesser degree the fact that they are claiming to be on the right side of ESG and health conscious people which is clearly not that true for a company that specializes in cured meats, deli sandwiches and pretty heavily processed foods. But I'm more concerned with your thoughts around the valuation being as high as he claims. Is this a metric you would use to value PBH, and then comparing it to high priced FANG companies? There were also some "questionable" exec comp payouts in their opinion. Can you provide your voice of reason? PBH has been on a good run this last year.

Q: Hi There,
My son (15) would like to take a small position in two growth stocks.
He is considering LSPD, NVEI, TOI.
With the recent run up in all three of these stocks, which two do you think look the best today?
Thank You

Q: I am contemplating to eliminate XBC from my non taxable accounts with significance losses (-52% of book value). The proceed (C$ 30K) will be invested into potentially better growth candidates, such as TIXT, WELL or BAM.a. Please kindly give your opinion and advice. Thank you very much. Bill.

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
Topicus is taking small hits everyday. I suspect it is profit taking or redirecting to other sectors. What is your view please? With respect to valuation, how does it compare to other types of companies in its sector (other than looking at what is being referred to as a mini csu). Thanks very much.

Q: Just finished the book '100-baggers'. As a buy and hold guy, the 'coffee can portfolio' approach is relatable. If you guys could purchase 10 Canadian stocks to not touch for the next 5-10 years which stocks would you include? Thanks.
