Investment Q&A

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

Q: I bought into MXG for the special dividend last month, but I am reluctant to sell it because it is in a sector I favor. High insider ownership and very few followers. The earnings look good and they are net cash. They don't state future growth plans or any real mission statement. Has 5i Research looked into this company?
Thanks, Terry

Q: Hi there. I was intrigued by the reply to a recent question which led to you providing a list of these six companies:
US: RSSS, BUKS, MCEM
Canada: HME, NCI, KUT

Can you please pick your 3 favourite regardless of country and provide a summary of why you think they hold potential as well as how each rank BOTH in terms of growth and risk with 1 being low risk/growth and 10 being high.
Thank you!

Q: Can you comment on the ADF backlog drop from $330.3M vs $510.9M at the start of the year? It appears to be partly related to a strategic decision having recently declined a $150M Amazon project due to low margins (8%). I think this illustrates some management discipline - profitability over pure revenue growth with management prioritizing margin quality over volume. Curious about your thoughts?

Q: Interesting comments in your latest Market Update about small caps. In addition to any potential upside in 2025, we are close to the possible annual January “bounce”. If you had to pick 5 (ranked) Canadian small caps to take advantage, which 5 equities would you lean towards? Also, is there an ideal ETF that would cover all the small cap basics? (2 questions)
On another note, long time member here who is extremely grateful for the outstanding service you provide. I’ve listened attentively, learned a lot, and have been blessed with some lucrative decisions, always guided by your sage wisdom. For that I offer a heartfelt thank you, and wish all at 5i a wonderful Christmas and another prosperous 2025!

Q: I currently hold CALF and SLYV-A as part of my small-cap part of my portfolio. SLYV is up 21.05%, while CALF is only 5.21% in one year. IWM is up 28.42% in the same period. I want to sell CALF and buy IWM. Alternatively, buy IWR as a mid-cap may have better potential.
