Q: Hi 5i team,

I currently own Black Diamond Group and I am looking to switch into First Service Corp. For a 2-3 year time frame, without considering sector diversification, would you see more upside potential with First Service or Black Diamond Group? Both are in very different industries and are both in your model portfolio, with similar ratings, B and B+ respectively. First Service seems to have stock momentum at the moment whereas Black Diamond has been on a downtrend.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Q: A company I have been very happy with (WFI.TSX) looks like it will be bought out and I am selling it. I am looking to replace it in my portfolio. Brookfield Rebewable (BEP.UN) looks like a good fit with its dividend but the current portfolio report is dated to September of last year. Is 5i still considering this an 'A' rated company.

Q: I was reading some information about Avigilon (AVO) a few days ago. Apparently, Veritas suggests some issues that could affect AVO are channel stuffing (something to do with collaboration between AVO and its channel intermediaries) and early revenue recognition. Veritas also was concerned about uncommon auditor review practices. As a consequence to its review they are suggesting caution. It seems to me that these are probably consequences of a fast growing company rather than something I should be particularly concerned about; however, the frequency I get burnt by trusting my instincts is too high so wished to get your valued opinion. Thank you

Q: Hi Peter,
I initially accepted the investment risk associated with acquiring Questor, but it has been in a downward spiral since and now find myself down 20% since I bought it. If it were not for the eco-conscious potential associated with Questor`s product offering, I would typically move on; could I have your opinion towards the potential upside to this stock? If I stay put, should I be taking advantage of the current price and increase my position, or would you hold off and wait for a rebounding indication of strength. For what it`s worth, BMO have tagged a support price of $.40 ( scary). Can you enlighten me Peter?
Thank you kindly for all you and your team have done for neophyte investors such as myself.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i team,

I'm looking for an industrial stock to add to my portfolio. I currently own CCL.B and SJ, but I'd like to add a third stock in this sector? Do you have recommendations?

I also wanted your opinion on Chartwell Retirement REIT. I currently own 3 REITS (Riocan, H&R and Chartwell), but I was thinking of selling Chartwell and buying Boardwalk for a bit more growth.

Thanks very much,
Jason
