Investment Q&A

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: What does it mean to well to be added to the tsx comp index.

Q: Hi 5i,

Been watching DOO for a while but remained on sidelines etc. etc....I realize that DOO's large share price increase was related to recent earnings release, so ....with the recent run up in share price would you still be buyers of this stock for a new position--2-3 year hold? Why/why not?

Would you add to existing position? or would wait with expectation of a retrace?

Thx

Jim
