Q: Can you give your updated thoughts on Caldwell Partners? In their recent ER the mgmt made comments that growth in this current quarter was getting strong again. If growth is in fact returning, not sure for how long since the revs are lumpy and highly tied to the economy. But if growth returns, does the company look like a decent higher risk microcap buy otherwise? Thx

Q: I have had GSY in my TFSA for a number of years and am pleased with the performance. For this year’s TFSA contribution I am torn between adding to GSY or starting a new position in PRL. I’m concerned about PRL’s steep runup recently and the potential for a sharp decline once I buy (of course!). I actually don’t mind a short term decline as I am intending this as a longterm hold but I do have concerns about catching the PRL wave as it crests. Given the metrics between these two and the current buy price, what are your thoughts on these two - GSY for it’s stellar track record or PRL for outperformance in growth. Thanks for your thoughts!

Q: Hi 5i,
It looks like Prysmian (from Italy) has made an offer to acquire Encore Wire @ $290.00/share. Encore has 35 days to shop around for other proposals. It also looks like there may be a lawsuit against the Board for failing to conduct a fair process.

What would be your recommendation at this point in the process? Sell or hold?

I was really hoping that this would be a long term hold.

If one were to sell what would be another similar company that you would recommend for a long term hold? Something in the "electrification" and renewables would be preferred.

I already own HPS, PWR, NXT which I suppose I could add to but I may have to trim HPS due to its run up.

How do you feel about MYR Group or Sterling Infrastructure?

Thanks!

Q: I had purchased this company after using stock screener which showed very low valuation. Recent annual earnings were also 26 cents. However, the stock keeps declining especially a large decline from $3 to $1 on very hight volume. Since then volumes have become small. What do you think? Do you think there is still potential. Also, after the annual results, I do not see any quarterly announcement even thought appratenly thier quarter ends Dec 31, 2023. Please provide any insights you may have.Thanks

Q: They have the only non invasive basal cell carcinoma treatment at the moment that is effective as a cure. They found this out after the phase 1 safety and tolerabiliy study. No side effects. Does this look like a good opportunity for investment even though it is very early in clinical trials. This kind of investment is usually high risk but it seems mitigated.

Q: Hi Peter,

Can you provide comments on Grey Wolf Animal Health Yr End and 4th Qtr results. Also do you think it is a buy at these levels for speculative position. It looks like a nice result and good margin. It is profitable and appears to provide consistent results. Nice cash position on the balance sheet. Also like the Palidan Labs connection with the current CEO. Your feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you

Q: Hello 5i Team,
I hold these companies between two TFSAs and have room for two more, small cap, Canadian growth companies. What might you suggest. Sector consideration not an issue although I do recognize the importance of diversification.
Thank you

Q: Everyone, I have been watching the above growth stocks since late last year. I usually have one or two high growth quality stocks that will add to the average returns of my portfolio. My last purchase of a high growth stock was LMN, which I purchased last September, with an average price of $20.50. The ones I am watching now have risen significantly and I am hesitant to buy into them since they might decline 50%. So should I buy a small portion of each to maybe a 10% holding of my overall portfolio? Or should I wait till……..
