Investment Q&A

Q: To re-balance my portfolio, I could use more consumer stocks. Currently I have Starbucks and Hanes Brands.
If Hanes Brands is considered Consumer Cyclical, I would would be looking for a Consumer Non-Cyclical. Would ATD.B a good choice with the recent pullback or would would you recommend something else. The stock would be purchased in my TFSA account.
For a Consumer Cyclical BRP is of interest but with yesterday's increase, should I wait for the next pullback or can you offer another alternative.
Thank you

Q: I have a half position on ADW.a, I am wondering if ADW.a is currently over priced? Does it make sense to add to this at these levels?

Q: What is your reading of the quarterly and annual results? Has the investment thesis changed in any way?

Q: Is there a specific reason for this stock to be falling the way it has recently ,other than today? Should I sell or hold?

Q: Hi there,
Just doing some portfolio re-balancing as my portfolio seems to have gotten off track a bit lately. I am running with about a 22% weight in industrials but have CCL and richards Packaging classified there. I always struggle where to classify these two - more suited to materials or do you have an alternate classification. i am extremely underweight in Consumer Discretionary. Any recommendations? i have been reluctant to buy anything in this space lately!

Q: Hi, could you please comment on the earnings release. They also had some comments on same stores sales growth and outlook - your thoughts please. Thanks

Q: Hello 5i team,
I hold 3 stocks in the energy sector: ENB since 2012, KEY since 2010 and PKI since 2006.
With an average total return of 5% per year (which basically equals the yield) ENB is, by far, the worst performer.
That begs the question: granted ENB is a good company, but it does not seem to be a good stock to own.
Thank you,
Antoine

Q: What is the consensus for TPK's Q4 revenue, ebitda and eps please.

Q: What is the consensus for NFI's Q4 revenue and adjusted ebitda please.

Q: Please comment on TPK earnings. Thanks

Q: I keep hearing about TOY being tied exclusively with Toys R Us but I have seen Spin Master toys being sold in numerous outlets including: Canadian Tire, Mastermind and Walmart. Shoppers even has some of their product like Paw Patrol.
It seems the recent decline has been a bit over done?

Q: Knight committed to up to $25M in the partnership deal announced this morning. It is a fairly large amount compared to some deals. Is this a big deal?
Thanks.

Q: Why the weakness?
Thx

Q: With the precipitous decline over the last 9 months, I can understand that your answers to recent questions on CGX are a little less than enthusiastic but I note you still include it in the Income Portfolio and still rate it at A-. Do you think the dividend is at all threatened or do see any other major negatives on the horizon?

Q: I have owned this stock for several years and it would appear that the company is executing its strategy well, albeit much more slowly than I would have liked. As it results improve, I am wondering how you see its growth going forward and combined with that what you see as an ultimate viable exit strategy. The last few quarters results have been good (in my eyes) and while the stock price has grown, the trading volume is so low that it seems that even if I wanted to get out, I could not. (Just for the record, I don't). But do see the ultimate end play as a takeover in which case I won't have to worry about liquidity? Or is it just a sleepy stock that has enough shares outstanding to not make this an issue?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: The CEO of Blackberry was interviewed on BNN today. He said that they are branching into security software for many devices including auto and end point devices. Is this a major threat to the business of ABT? If ABT cant get their sales growing would that be an indication that they are ripe to be disrupted and made obsolete rather quickly?

Q: Hi 5i Team,
Maxar Technologies is at a 52 weeks low. Have you changed your opinion on this company? Is it a buy, hold or sell? I know Maxar is a Canadian based company, but Its headquarter is located in the U.S. Does the dividend still qualifies for the dividend tax credit?

The service you provide is always much appreciated.

Q: Does MGA's potential acquisition of the Canadian Toys R Us stores, impact Spin Master's business at all, as it looks like they are a direct competitor of Spin Master?

Is there the potential for MGA to try and shut out or limit Spin Master's products in the potentially newly owned Canadian Toys R Us stores?

Thanks again.

Q: With re balancing in my cash account I have a capital gain of $25,000 in 2018. If I were to sell my CGX, ENB and GUD I would have a loss of $14,000. My thinking is that this loss would offset the capital gains.

I intend to re buy these 3 stocks after the 30 day period,

Does this make sense?

Thank you

Sincerely

Mike

Q: Hi Peter, bought more GUD today and have a quick curiosity question on what they do with all the cash reserves while they wait. It looks like ~$788M vs 142.8M shares = ~$5.52/share. I'm assuming that with that magnitude of funds they'd get a pretty decent rate/month; but is that what they do ? Also, what size ($) of company would/could they target with the amount of cash they have ? And, is the thought that any purchase would be NA based or does that matter ? Thanks.
