Q: Hi 5i and Peter,
In a show down between DSG and TRI which company would you pick for the largest overall return for the next 5 - 10 years. I like both companies and having a tough time deciding. The past 5 years their CAGR share price (including TRI's dividend) has been DSG - 22.6% and TRI - 24.3%.

Q: Could you explain why banks are not doing phenomenally well given the interest rate increases?

I understand that it may lead to fewer loans and some defaulted loans, but surely floating-rate loans and the higher interest of new loans would far out-profit these.

On that note, would you recommend locking in a floating rate mortgage at this point?

Q: I have held TOY for a number of years while its done nothing and I am considering a switch to ATZ. Before I throw in the towel on TOY, I would like to check a few things with you:
1) what are the current and projected P/E's for each stock?
2) what are the projected growth rates for each stock?
3) I believe TOY has a rock solid balance sheet, do you have any concerns about ATZ's balance sheet and ability to weather a possible recession? If so, ewhat are the concerns?
4) On a scale of 1-10 what are the chances of each company still being around in 5-10 years?
5) which stock has better short term and which has better long term opportunites? 6) would you make the switch?

Thanks for everything!

Q: In some interesting reading sent to my inbox by 5i, one of the articles by Joe Wiggins talked about long or short term investing and I see by the bar graph, if you are a one year investor it was a 55% return and if you left the investment for 10 years, it would be a 15% return. From what I see, it looks like you are better off being short term. Maybe you can interpret this better than I. There was a lot of heavy reading involved. Thank you,

Q: It appears that Transcontinental published pretty bad numbers for its Q1FY2023 and the market has reacted quite negatively and the drop has been brutal. In your opinion, how bad are these results? In their press release for the quarter they mentioned the printing segment drop considerably. Do you see other problems showing up? They also mentioned they are continuing paying the dividend but in your educated opinion, given these results, is it realistic for them to keep doing so or is it more an eventuality they will cutting it, akin to what happened with AQN. Is it a SELL or HOLD? -- My guess is, it's not a BUY.

Q: I hold all three companies , all bought when share prices were higher. Comments and rankings on these three please. All have shown some gains recently. Are they worth holding for improved macro conditions and eventual recovery? All three are in a taxable account, so should any be sold for tax loss?

Q: hi, can you please advise (if not already asked) analysis on these companies most recent 1/4 and FY results.
AT seems to have had increased revenues but profits are lacking vs comparable results, IMO.
PXT looks like it is firing on all cylinders (political risk aside) and the increased dividend seems to reflects that.
TOY seems to have mixed results again.

Any released forward looking statements concern you?

Are any of these adds/buys in today's market? I own about 2% each of all 3 in a diversified account.

Cheers,
Steve

Q: I am interested in establishing a 2% position in the Consumer Defensive space, and I am debating between Loblaws and Premium Brands. This position is meant to be held for an extended time period of several years. Which company would be better positioned to provide me a substantial return, and if asked to choose, towards which one might you lean? If there is another opportunity in this space that you feel would better fit the aims I have described, I would be happy to read your thoughts. Thanks so much, and I look forward to reading your feedback.
