Investment Q&A

Q: Wanting to sell one of these to deploy cash to deploy elsewhere. Which of these two has the best pathway forward for a 2 to 3 year hold and which might you recommend to sell and why? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i team. Your thoughts on switching ATS for either BYD or TVK. Looking for growth over extended time frame in a non registered account. Worry about the recent run up of BYD and TVK and wondering if I should wait for a pull back or if I should just stay the course after ATS pull back. Not looking to add another position in my already heavy industrial holdings.

Thank you

Q: Not a question, but a comment. And not sure if it’s relevant or not.

I’ve been involved in the electrical industry for 35+ years and have been aware of Hammond from a users perspective for much of that time. They’re noted for having good equipment, debatably the Honda or Toyota of relatively small dry type electromagnetic gizmos. Not the least expensive, but good value. It’s reliable, available, and therefore rather ubiquitous in industrial electrical rooms. I own the company not only because of your endorsement but because I like their products.

Similar comment with Powell. Pretty good equipment from a technical perspective and reasonably priced. Good innovators and flexible offerings. They seem to be winning lots of fully evaluated tenders.

One last comment. If privately-owned Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories Inc. ever goes public, consider buying. Fabulous relays and communication equipment for the utility and industrial power system space, and exceptional service.

Q: I have a position in TOI and with the recent run, have some decent profit. You have mentioned a few times that TOI is expensive. Does it make sense to sell half my position and purchase LMN or do you think there is some positive momentum here and let TOI run a little more?

Q: Hi Team,
This is more of a general comment , discussion on Gsy valuation. Is it just me or the earnings growth this company is putting out in relation to its p/e seems incredibly cheap. Looking at their history , quarter after quarter continues to be record and shows the most stable growth out of any of my holdings on a long term basis. The ceo really seems to know what he’s doing here. I think this should be a $1000 stock within 8-10yrs of growth remains as is and they are given a fair multiple in the market. Am I crazy to think this ? This isn’t even accounting for their new growth initiatives such as the credit cards they are going to probably be rolling out, or expansion into the US. Just looking for your thoughts on this and what might prompt the market to start recognizing the stock fairly in regards to valuation ? Thanks

Q: 5i
Are you still recommending BAM even though it has a P/E of 606.
Thanks

Q: I am up about 40% on GSY (thanks 5i). Weighting overall in the portfolio is still okay. At what point would you suggest trimming. Or in other words, where do you think it might be a year from now? Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter,
What is happening to Ivanhoe electric? It is on a downward trend. I am thinking of selling my toi, and lmn, to invest in CSU as everyday i see csu ticking higher. Does this strategy makes sense? Also, with nice dividend history of fortis, why is it still so low whereas hydro one seems to be ticking higher. thanks very much

Thank you,

Q: What are the leading blockchain ETFs or companies? I'm more interested in focusing on the blockchain technology and blockchain applications used by numerous industries (financial, shipping, government, etc.) rather than focusing on any specific cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. Thanks.

Q: Which Canadian bank has been the worse performer in the last cycle?

Q: I've owned GLXY for a while. The last time Bitcoin was at the $50K level, GLXY was significantly higher (roughly $26-27). Any reasons why there is such a difference in the performance given where bitcoin is today? Given the halving is occuring in April, which is typically positive for the price of bitcoin, I would have expected a higher SP. Perhaps there's a catchup trade in the future?

Q: Thoughts on quarter please. Have owned for just over 5 years and sitting at a loss, losing patience. Thx

Q: Good afternoon 5i
I am thinking of selling Park Lawn for a tax loss. I believe you mentioned that it would likely need interest rate cuts to find some traction. I plan to buy it back. But, i was wondering whether you see any catalysts that might resurrect it within thirty days?
Thanks as always for this excellent service.

Q: Thoughts on the quarter. What is the new forward PE and how does that compare to the historical PE range?
Also, they increased the dividend for 10th consecutive year. What is the dividend growth rate over that time frame?
Thanks Rob

Q: I have to say, having been investing in the market since 1980 I don’t recall any company increasing its dividend by 22% in a year
What are your thoughts on the Q and year

Annual Dividend per Share Increased to $4.68, up 22% from $3.84

Q: Hi Would appreciate comments on Topicus earnings. Is the stock priced well for adding at this level, in view of the results ? Thank You

Q: Hi, Just to clarify, do you adjust the "purchase/start price" of a stock added during any month while updating the Portfolios. So, the Monthly, YTD and Since inception returns, are based on the Start price or the actual ACB for each such stock, in a portfolio ? ACB of a holding will change with no of shares added and closing price on that day, in order to determine an accurate return. Not sure, if it was only the month of January, as IFC and LMN, which were added during the month, had the same Start price as before. Thank You
