Q: Good morning 5i,
TFII is one of the few growth stocks which has grown for me recently. I have about one percent too high a weighting in the industrial sector and I would like to buy Boyd Group. i am therefore thinking of selling TFII. I figure it may not go too much after the good news announced yesterday and it might be a good time to take a profit. Or, would I be better to hold it and find another way to get the money to buy Boyd?
thanks

Q: Hello, I currently hold NWC in my TFSA, it has a good dividend but the stock has been weak lately. What is your view on this stock? Would that make sense to replace it with PBH which is in the same sector? I know that you have these two companies in your model portfolios, but you certainly have a preference for one of them in terms of growth potential. Thanks, Gervais

Q: AD is now paying a 9% dividend which makes it very tempting. I have been investing a long time and have generally found high yield dividend stocks often disappoint. On the other hand I also understand that there are moments where the market will misprice stock values and create opportunity.
So in the case of AD am I correct that holding the stock (which I do) is reasonable and that the stock should appreciate to a value supporting a 4 to 6% yield.
On the other side, at a 9% yield the general market does not share my view and I think predicts a material event or dividend cut.
I have a long time frame and high risk tolerance.
So my question is when does the high yield give you cause for concern?
Thanks John

Q: Hello, I’m interested in buying a 3 % position in nfi. I’m holding back because it was a $60 a share stock not that long ago. I keep thinking if I bought at $50 i would be upset ,because as a dividend stock that pays 4+% it should have some stability with that dividend, assuming nothing is wrong with the company. I have read on your question platform that you do not think anything is that wrong with nfi.
Question is is it a good time to buy with a decent time frame, or stay away, as it seems to be acting like a small cap oil company with no dividend?

Q: Hi 5i team, I am doing some due diligence on PEO. PEO will become a take out candidate (for a AON, Mercer, WTS, Morneau-Sheppell): at what conditions or what size? As the company ever discussed about a Toronto listing? What are your expectations about it? Would you agree that these two main lines (broker and TPA) of business are pretty much recession resistant? The CEO mentioned that he expects to make several acquisition of “non-controling interest” in the next few years: It should be a good move since it is less risky (less integration risks)?
What do know about their main (similar size competitors) in Canada, Hub and AJ Gallagher? Can you comment about the risks on the emergence of private health market exchanges such as AON Choices (partnering with six large insurers in Canada)? Can you comment results published Monday morning.
Thank you for your collaboration,
Eric
