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

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan,

We have a few dogs with the downturn but we also cashed in all of our high runners in early October. Your insight is invaluable in our portfolio management strategy and we understand the decision to buy or sell is in our control. On that note, we have been buyers the past two weeks when a stock drops 25%-40% (i.e. KXS today at $67.99). Can you comment on the following opportunities (BYD.UN, WSP, NFI, CCL.B, PBH, SHOP, ENHG) to purchase now with a 3-5 year hold inside RRSP's.
1. Please rank (based on your expertise) the above stocks from best to worst as of today to add to an RRSP.
2. Which of the above, if any, are considered "prime" to purchase today.

Thank you
Jerry and Debbie

Q: I have been accumulating cash in accounts for my 4 grandchildren, ages 2 - 10, and would now like to invest these proceeds. So, for long term holds, with some growth and some stability, what would be your stock recommendations. I have been considering investments such as BAM, SIS, AQN. Am I on the right track with these selections and/or are there others I should consider, such as TD and RY?
Many thanks........Jim

Q: Hi,

Self storage companies in the US and companies in Canada such as SVI appear to trade at very high multiples (i.e. P/FFO and P/AFFO). Why is this? I've wanted to invest for some time but am uncomfortable about the valuation . Is there something I'm missing about the self storage space that warrants these apparent premiums?

Thanks for your response.

Q: I joined 5i a year ago.

One of my first transitions was to purchase AIF (Altus) it has been on a toboggan run since. You recommended selling last quarter. I wanted to give it one more quarter as past earnings appear stronger in third and fourth quarter. With yet another miss it is time to move on. My Canadian holdings look much like our flag - red and white with no green. Patience is waning here.

I hold the following 5i recommendations:
AIF, ATD.B, ATA, GC, SLF, VB, GUD, CSU, KXS, SIS, MX, PHO, TOY, RHT (yes still could not get out fast enough), TSGI, COV

Also own XIT, XEG, PXT, TD, BAM.A, KL

I am considering replacing AIF with CAE, WSP, TFII or another recommendation?

This is in a registered account 5 - 7 year time to use horizon.

Q: What were the main factors that drove TSGI's stock price from April to its high in June? And what has now been the main reason for its decline? Has anything fundamentally changed? I see that Poker, its largest revenue source actually declined in comparison to Q3 2017. Is this a big concern, or is most of it's expected growth to come from gaming/betting? Is there hope that when/if most States legalize online gambling that TSGI will earn more much revenue from this?
