Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i
I've taken quite a beating on LMN in a registered account - down approximately 60% on the $25K flyer I took on it back when it traded in the $50 range.
I can afford to carry it awaiting a recovery, but I also think if a recovery is not imminent, I would like to take my losses and put what remains of the 25K to work elsewhere - perhaps in CNQ, TVE or WCP where capital appreciation and income are both realistic over the next couple of years.
What do you think - and if the premise is good but you have better ideas that CNQ, TVE or WCP please advise.
Thanks, 5i,
Peter

Q: Hi 5i
I know you very much like the Csu group. If you had to sell one of CSU, LMN or TOI, which one would it be?
Thank .. Gilles

Q: in my grandsons acc i have lmn it is down 41% should i switch it for csu at this time

Q: Will you please let your members know if you see any significant insider buys from the Csu family as this could be the bell ringer for the bottom? What is a good site to track insider moves?

Thx

Q: We know that the market moves in advance of the stocks earnings as some say 3 to 6 months in advance. With these 3 stocks, is it possible that is happening, the market is talking to us and we are NOT listening?

Also, as stated before, could it be that if these stocks beat their earnings, that they may still go down with the reason that the market will feel that AI has not fully effected their earnings yet?

Thanks

Q: Hi Team, I've always found it hard to get accurate valuations on the CSU family. Can you provide, to the best of your capability, the current valuation of each for current fiscal and one year out? Also, where in your crystal 🔮 do see capitulation possibly occurring. Thanks for all you work!

Q: You guys must be getting annoyed with all the questions on these companies, but I will press my luck with one more from a slightly different angle. I own them and I am trying to determine how low they go if earnings and commentary show any kind of slowdown. I am trying to better understand the risk/reward in continuing to hold versus just stepping aside until there is a clear reversal in trend. I am thinking that if there is no growth or a reduction in sales and earnings these could still fall much further, and I am hoping for your thoughts on how much.
Thanks

Q: A number of your past favourites are getting crushed in the market. Based on fundamentals do you see red flags with any of these companies or do you feel it’s an overreaction by the market? Do you consider these companies Buy/Hold/Sell?

Thank You
Tim

Q: Of these beaten up software stocks, which 3 or 4 stocks would you choose, keeping in mind greatest return potential and not too much overlap between the picks. Thanks

Q: please rate these companies in order of best buy for 5 year hold.
thanks

Q: What to do with $10864 in TFSA? At 74 years I exist on a public sector DB pension.

Transitioning my TFSA to be more growth focused. 14 holdings currently, major ones being BN, TRI, TFII, TVK, KXS, TOI, EQB, LMN, DSG, PNG, DRX, REAL, S, EGLX. Also have 41 equities in much larger balanced dividend growth non-reg account but Brookfield Group is pushing 15% of total portfolio with overall 65% Canada exposure. Overall below sector targets in consumer cycle, health, RE, Industrial, Utilities as well as International exposure.

Realizing you cannot get personal but I am looking for another viewpoint on how to use the funds in TFSA this year besides adding more Brookfield or software or financials. With available funds could only add 4 units of CSU anyway.

Q: For a Tfsa investment which of Atd or Lmn do you think would provide the best investment over the next 5 years?

Q: Hi, Sorry there are lot of companies listed but in summary this is three part question:

1. I have BAM2%,BN9%,BEP5%. I was thinking of putting new money to KKR or BX or APO. Should i add new money to existing positions or to new positions. Which one and approx. price please.

2. All the listed are in red in various taxable and registered accounts. Which one is good candidate for new money , which one would be sell and hold.

3. ISRG is at 1.5%. Should i go to 5% in one shot or go slowly or just hold on . This is in taxable account.

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team - With the continued downward trend of these three companies, do you think it is still now all AI fear related, and if so is there a chance some of these fears are legitimate. I think you have stated that fundamentals remain the same. Have there been any announcements from CSU, TOI, and LMN supporting their businesses and attempting to reassure investors over the past several months.
Has there been any insider buying or selling over the past half year.
It seems that Lumine may be getting hit the hardest of the three. Would that be your opinion as well.
If trimming positions in these three stocks, in what order would you do it and would the reverse hold true if adding.
Thanks.

Q: When does Lunin next report and what do you expect in revenue and earnings?

Q: These stocks are all down today. Does this have anything to do with Anthropic?

thanks

Q: These four stocks ,equally held in my TFSA, represent 5% of my total stock holdings. I put my 2026 contribution into LMN ( ouch ) , and my other 3 have sizeable gains. I also own 3 times as much of EIF in my RRIF. I would like to buy more GLXY if it dips into the low 30’s. Would you sell and which one of the three to buy GLXY ? I have cash in my non registered account where I could buy, but my thesis for this account is solid dividend growers. Thanks. Derek.

Q: Hi Team,
Can I have your take on NOW earnings? Beat on all metrics it seems like, yet the stock nose dives. CNBC has a headline saying "bear market is in for software stocks". What is a person to do now when I am stuck with NOW, and all the CSU family? Can I expect CSU, LMN, TOI to sell off a bunch more on earnings when they report like NOW is doing today even though they beat? I am finding it hard to decide whether to just Hold, buy more, or Sell? Usually selling is not a good long term idea in a proven quality name, but maybe this is different this time? However selling a sector that is being oversold might be a bad idea if I am expecting to invest it in momentum names at their "highs" (such as MU) that might roll over at any time...that would be a bad scenerio. Today is an awful day. My portfolio has peaked last October and still has not came back since and continues to fall. Losing confidence in holdings I thought were all quality names..

Thanks for any input you may have,

Shane.

Q: I currently don't hold any companies in the software space and I am looking to add some of these to my current portfolio. How would you rank them in order of purchase for a long term hold?

Q: Patience is wearing thin on some of these names, they just continue to have negative momentum and I don't want to sell into the negativity and sell just because others are selling. What are your thoughts? Are fundamentals still strong in these quality companies? Is your updated view still a hold on these? Thanks!
