Investment Q&A

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

Q: Took a small position in these 3 stocks this week. Your thoughts on lmn quarter results this week and longer time holding in all of the above. Cheers

Q: Time to clean up my tech holdings. Can you please rank them for a 3-5 yr hold. Need to get rid of 1 or 2 and maybe trim some others. Thank you

Q: With the bump in position size in Topicus would members take this as 5i beieng more favorable towards Europe and a vote of confidence over Lumine.

Thx

Q: These stocks have pulled back recently. Would you be adding to these stocks at these levels and in what order would you add?

Are there other small caps you prefer?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Can you provide me updates on the 4 companies listed. Thanks very much.

Q: Looking for steady growth. LMN or GIB.A ? Thank you

Q: Hi 5i Team - The guest today on BNN Market call mentioned that Lumine specializes in carve-outs and that is to their advantage. Although he explained it, I'm not sure what carve-outs means and even if I have the correct term. Could you provide more information on this. In addition he felt that the evaluation is quite rich. Do you also feel this way. Also could you provide a summary of Lumine's fundamentals. and if you have any concerns with these fundamentals.
Thanks.

Q: Good morning.. Can i get your opinion of this stock going forward and next quarter anticipated earnings. Cheers

Q: I plan to reluctantly trim CSU from 15% down to 10%. I have sufficient LMN, TOI and WSP. Can you give me 3 growth stocks to consider for my TFSA with the CSU proceeds? I tend to be a long term investor with not many trades.

Thanks for the tremendous service!

Doug

Q: I hold these small/mid cap stocks. Most have done well.

It looks like the interest rates vs inflation discussion isn’t going away soon and rates may be higher for longer. With this as the backdrop and current uncertainty around the markets is this a time to lighten up on Small/Mid cap stocks and take some profit? Or would you hold?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Helping my young son with his TFSA; we bought CLS in late October based on your positive comments and recently sold enough shares near the high to get back his original investment. Now considering either TOI or LMN. Which stock would you choose and why? I'm favoring LMN but worried about the negative momentum at the moment. Thanks!

Q: Hi Team,
I currently hold fairly high positions of both LMN and TOI. I invested in these positions as opposed to CSU on the view that they would provide more growth over the long term as they are essentially smaller companies, under CSU guidance and play book. Would you agree with this strategy? Assuming I continue to hold both is there still a need to purchase CSU or would holding a mix of LMN and TOI be sufficient exposure for maximum growth within the family?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Hi 5i Team - Constellation Software is a company that has never issued shares beyond their initial IPO. I'm pretty sure this applies to LMN and TOI as well but could you confirm. In all three, is there any possibility of them issuing more shares in the future.
Also could you name a few other companies that have never issued shares, Canadian, U.S., any size market cap, any sector.
Thanks.

Q: One of my children (early 20's) has funds in a TFSA they are looking to put in a high risk/high return stock. I'd asked them to do some homework on their own and they've (with some back and forth) come up with 3 names; 2 of which do not register when symbols entered.

Already owned are ASCU (1/2 position), Full positions of BN, LMN, RY, TCS, 1.5x positions of TVE, GOOG and 3x position of NVDA.

Biotech or tech seem to be the preferred themes but are not "must own" if there is something better,

The top 3 names so far are Coveo, Cardiol and Oncolytics Biotech. I would appreciate your thoughts on these 3 options, perhaps place them in order of preference and add 2 you would recommend as a high risk/high reward test.

Great work all....thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Our Technology exposure across all accounts is 20.52%, which is concerning me. Without selling any CSU or LMN, which I plan to keep 'forever', could you please rank the following ETFs in order of which to sell outright, or reduce. Each ETF is followed by the percentage of Technology stocks that it holds:

QQC.F (62.51%)
VFV (39.6%)
XGRO (21.06%)

We have some other ETFs that we want to keep, and their Technology holdings are all less than 15%.

The proceeds from the sale/reduction in the three ETFs above will be used to increase holdings in under represented sectors.

The three ETFs noted all have good profits. No commissions will have to be paid with these transactions.

Thanks as always for your insight.

Q: I have the above tech stocks sitting at just over 30% weighting in portfolio. Could you please rank them as to which you might sell first. I sadly sold Crowdstrike last summer when they had their issues and I am thinking I need a cybersecurity stock. Would you buy Crowdstrike or Palo Alto or half of both. Also, What do you think about Saleforce? With the thought of cheaper AI, is that one that would possibly benefit and how where would it rank within my aboce tech stocks? Thanks for all your help. With all your advice, last year was awesome and still up this year following yesterday’s falloff.

Q: Although I'm generally a fairly conservative retired investor, I do have a small portion allotted to small caps. I'd like to pick up some LMN. However I wondered about the potential negative impact on share price in a challenging economic environment.

Not sure if this is a good reference / comparison, but I noticed CSU had four significant drawdowns of between 24-29% between the GFC and COVID time periods. I actually thought it would have been worse than that. Considering LMN is already down 15%, and assuming possible similar stock price action, I'm getting a bit more comfortable pulling the trigger even now.

I don't want to make this a predictive question, but do you think this stock price action is a reasonable comparison? Perhaps this is oversimplifying? Do we know if the valuation of LMN today lines up with the valuation of CSU back in 2008 prior to its drop?
