Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: 1) The board of directors is staffed with a lot of what seems to be high level financial people with a lot of experience, what I did not see was a high level IT person, which for a company who is selling IT solutions for banks seemed a little remiss. My question was "how can you manage that portion of the company in a very specialized area if not even one person on the board knows anything about IT?

2)There was nothing in the literature about the security of their IT platforms. In the age where IT security and on line financial fraud is a huge concern, I thought it should have at least a nod in the presentation.

Thank you.

Q: Since being removed from 5i's model portfolio MDA has tumbled about 8% on strong volume. I'm not sure if there's a connection here or just coincidence, or some other reason for the decline? I wonder if you agree with TD's analyst consensus of Q3 earnings expected to be flat at $1.51 compared to 2015 and a revenue rise to $542 MM from 515? I exited this position when you did, now looking to re-enter. Thanks, J.

Q: Hi,

5 or 6 years ago I watched as autocanada went from $5 to $90ish over a 3 year period. I got out of that way too early, after doubling my investment. I watch Savaria now and feel as this is something similar. Initial investment at $4, I am trying to figure out how long to ride before taking profits. It has grown to a 7% weighting in a balanced portfolio. How far do you think Savaria can run? At what point would you trim back your holdings?

Regards,

Robert

Q: Hello 5i,
I hold GWO with only about a one percent gain, so not much cap gains tax to pay, and was wondering, since I know you like SlF, whether you thought it worthwhile to sell GWO in order to buy SLf. i would like to have the cash too, (GWO is in a margin account). So i would also sell it for that reason.
thanks
