Q: I know the drop in gross profits this quarter was an unwelcome surprise - down 20% after earnings release. Management calls it atypical issuesThe question is, do you think this is a bump in the road or is it a chronic issue in the business plan. They seem to have huge back log, they map out very bright future revenues... what are red flags here? Is this a buying opportunity?

Q: Savaria has been heading downwards for the last six months, correcting by roughly 25% from its peak in September 2021. It represents 2% of my portfolio as I am writing. I have read the initial commentary on SIS posted to the message board, and I understand that your group may still be digesting the content of the recent investor's call from earlier today.

I would like to hear your thoughts on whether it is more prudent to wait for management to right the ship, so to speak, or if better opportunities lie elsewhere. If I were to sell Savaria, which opportunities within the healthcare space would you deem worthy of investment? Thanks so much, and I look forward to your response.

Q: Hi 5i team,

A few days you answered a free cash flow question with one of your favorites being Savaria. After listening to their CC do you still belive in the long term outlook of this company? Short term issues, not in management's control provide good buying opportunities, similar to other great manufacturers like Magna.

Thx

Q: I purchased TFI INTERNATIONAL and ATS AUTOMATION TOOLING in October 2021.

My returns until today are as follows:

TFI INTERNATIONAL is down 4%
ATS AUTOMATION TOOLING is down 14%

Each of the above holdings are only 3% of my Portfolio and therefore I am able to add. Right now, more than 20% of my Portfolio is in cash.

Which of the above would you recommend that I add to based on today's price, and your reasons.

Q: Further to my March 18 question: redeploying my 100% cash position. Using the BE portfolio as an example and assuming 6 equal monthly investments. Would you buy partials across the board, or go with full positions in 3-4 companies each month. If the latter, which order would you suggest.
Thanks Peter.
