Q: I noticed KXS has been up and down and is currently down a bit from the highs in the fall. Is this a good opportunity to add to a position in KXS, or is something going on with the company?
Q: Peter - happy new year to you and the 5i team! Thanks for your great service.
I have been interested in this stock for some time but have held off purchasing shares simply because it seems to be very thinly traded. Today, for example, even with National Bank raising its target to $45.50 per share, there is a bit of a bump in volume but still a $1 spread between bid and ask.
What's up with this stock and how should one purchase shares given its weird trading patterns? I usually use limit orders but a bit hard to find a suitable buy price with this one.
Q: Hi Team,
I am looking for some of your best ideas for a 2021 tfsa addition, US and/or cnd in any sector. I am looking for something with multi-bagger potential long term, that is "expected" to be strong into the new year. So far my tfsa is weighted almost entirely tech, which I am ok with with the focus of growth. I was thinking about XBC, but am not committed to that choice. Thank you for your great service!

With PEO having been taken out, could you please recommend a company(-ies) with similar characteristics (i.e. small cap, steady, great management, potential for a takeover etc)?
Q: Hello 5i. I noticed that GUD is in your balanced portfolio. The share price hasn't seen any upside in the last 4-5 years. What is so attractive about this company and what reasons would you give to invest in it now?
Q: I still hold Knight shares. Given that they are now raising some cash would 5I (if they still had them) continue to hold them for a few quarters. They have a significant amount of cash on hand
Is it probable that they are looking at an opportunity.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Clarence.
Q: Hi 5i
What does the complaint from Blue Yonder against Kinaxis look like to you? I don't know if there has been any clarification yet but my feeling from what I have read it seems Blue Yonder is tooting it's horn for publicity.
Anyway just wanted to thank you again and to all the members who make contributions with their questions and comments.
Peter

Q: I read your answers about Topicus shares from the CSU spinout. I have 50 CSU shares, so at a rate of 1.859817814 I would get 92.99 Topicus shares. You can't get any closer to a whole number than that. From what you said the number of spinoff shares is rounded DOWN. So even with 0.99 of a share they won't give me a whole share of Topicus? So I would end up with 92 Topicus shares plus some cash?
By the way, how/why did they come up with such a fraction? Why couldn't they just make it simple: you get 2 Topicus shares for every 1 CSU share (and then work backwards to make the math work)?
Q: I forget to ask another question about CSU shares. My CSU shares are on the US side of my non-registered account (so that I collect the dividend in US dollars). With the spinout of the Topicus shares are there any ramifications of having the CSU shares on the US side of my account? Will the "dividend" be calculated in US dollars or CA dollars (given that they pay their regular quarterly dividend in US$)? Should I journal the shares back to the Canadian side of the account? If yes, is it too late to journal them back to the Canadian side of the account given that the ex-dividend date is Dec 23rd, and my broker wouldn't complete the journalling transaction until Dec 24th or after Christmas?
Q: 1) Is today the 22 of December the last day to buy shares of CSU and get Topicus shares?
2) When do the Topicus shares start trading on the Vancouver exchange? Would it
be on the dividend date Jan 4?
3) The last release said, "the common shares of Constellation will commence trading on an ex-dividend basis at the opening of markets on December 23, 2020. "
Does this mean that CSU will start trading tomorrow at a discount to reflect the Topicus shares without Topicus trading?
Thanks for your great service.
Q: Hi 5i,
What are your thoughts on SYZ? What has been the track record on the dividend and do you consider this a safe stock or high risk?
Thanks and Merry Christmas,
Earl
Q: I bought LSPD several months ago and so far its been doing great.. We've been thinking about buying more but given the gains already seen do you think there is still significant upside opportunity? How much of the gains do you think are being driven by hype or are the business fundamentals just that good?
