Investment Q&A

Q: Q : Hello 5i team

Would you be willing to complete a position on LMN today? Since it's US-centric, can the Trump administration hinder its development in any way? Is your conviction in this stock as high as ever?

Thanks

Q: I hold WELL, LMN, GLXY , EIF in roughly equal amounts in my TFSA and they are approximately 5% of my total cash and RRIF portfolios. My initial TFSA set up was for small cap growth stocks as other portfolios are full of banks , utilities, pipelines etc. Am retired and have enjoyed playing the “ riskier “ side of my portfolios , but haven’t made much money at it ! Am looking at selling it all and buying HTA for its
10 % distribution while keeping me in a growth sector. I like the idea of getting some money NOW instead of waiting till I sell. What do you think of this approach ? Possibly split the portfolio with HTA and EIF ? If I sold in stages in what order would you sell ? Thanks Derek.

Q: Hi,
I own very small position in CTS. There was a meeting on last Friday to vote on an offer for selling the company at C$5.50. The price at present is C$5.98. I will book 55% loss if I sell at this price of C$5.98. As a fresh eye what is your thought on
1) Sell the shares and invest it in CSU or Lumine to take advantage of this price weakness (I hold GIB and DGS) or
2) Waite until it is taken out by some one if this offer is raised or some one makes counter offer?

I am unable to make quick move to take advantage of this weakness of market.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,

In which risk level would you place each of them?

CSU, LMN, TOI

High
Medium
Low

Q: What stock in the balanced equity would you be buying into today for a long term hold (noting that you wouldn’t back up any kind of vehicle into this market)

Q: Any reason why these expensive tech stocks hold up so well today.?

Thx

Q: You recently suggested to Brian that alumine would be a good buy. You have generally been positive on lumine. I have some but have been hesitant to buy more. In contrast, I have a full 5% and even more in CSU. For an older person with a more or less balanced portfolio and with some risk tolerance, what percentage would you suggest?

Thanks as always for your great work

Q: Hi there,

Of these 3 stocks how would you rate to buy now growth from a 3-5 year perspective?

Thank you.

Q: Hello 5I Team,

I need to trim down these positions in order to generate some cash in the next couple of weeks. Could you please suggest a possible order that you might trim from this list of eight companies, given the current economic climate? Thanks. Brad

Q: Do you recommend any Canadian small cap tech or industrial companies that are worthy of a small starter position? Could be US if that request is too narrow. Thanks!

Q: Is there news on LMN, The market including CSU decline a lot while LMN advancing . Thanks a million.

Q: How exposed are csu, Toi and lmn to Tarriffs? Or is it to their advantage and they will pick companies at good discounts? Thanks.

Q: First of all, thank you 5I for all these companies.

These are my only holdings in tech at the moment.

I have a present LOSS of 3.76% on GLXY;
a GAIN OF 52.08% on Lumine;
a GAIN of 57% on SHOP,
and a GAIN of 19.99% on TOI.

Needless to say, I'm very happy with these returns, even if GLXY is wobbling at the moment.

Do you see this as a good time to add to all/any of these positions at this time, with a quick rationale.

I still have lots of room to add to my tech positions at this time, so if I'm not adding to these, would you recommend another "growthy" company or two.

Thanks to 5 I, I've killed my "Chicken Little" personality from long ago, and am quite comfortable riding out the vacillations of the marketplace. : )

Q: We have about a 3.5% position in LMN and are modestly ahead. Our concern is the number of LMN outstanding shares at 257mm. This compares with TOI at 83mm and CSU at 21mm. It appears that CSU is very conservative on number of outstanding shares as compared to their influence on on TOI and LMN. Greatly appreciate if you could comment/explain this.
Much thanks to the 5i team.

Q: In a TFSA, I am down ~30% in both HPS.A and DOO, both of which were smaller positions and now both represent ~0.5% of total equity holdings (so ~1% combined).

If the goal was absolute growth over the long term with a high risk tolerance would you continue to hold or sell at a loss these two securities?

If you were to sell please rank from high to low which of the current securities in the account you would recommend.

Q: I was reading your last comments on Lumine, and you said organic growth may improve as the company makes more acquisitions. Which makes sense. But when does the contribution from an acquisition start to be included in organic growth numbers? After a year of owing it? Thanks.

Q: Your thoughts please on the quarters?

Thx

Q: What do you think about the -9% organic growth, increasing bank debt & interest costs, and one customer accounting for 11% of Revenue? How big a deal, on a scale of 1-10, do you think these issues are for Lumine? Thank you

Q: When do they release earnings ? TOI is done and CSU, I think is March 7.

Thank you

Q: Hi Peter I have LMN and TOI in my TFSA, 200 shares of LMN and 46 shares of TOI a 3% position and a 4% respectively. I was thinking of selling some of my LMN to add to the TOI position. Which one does 5i think might have the biggest upside and would this be a wise move on my part. Thanks
