Investment Q&A

Q: A number of these companies have done very well recently while others have not. Could you rate these as Buy/Hold/Sell and for those you consider a buy, could you provide what you feel is a good entry point.

Thank you
Tim

Q: Can you please confirm insider ownership % for each company. In your reports, you have ~1% and 50% respectively.
Thank you.

Q: Hi team,
What is your take on LMN’s aquisition news today from Casa systems? I see limited info from the press release and no numbers. Do you know the history of why casa went bankrupt and is it concerning for LMN at all being in the same industry? I can only assume LMN knows what they are doing in seeing value in these assets.

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: What is the difference between these two companies? I own LMGIF:US but thought I was investing in Lumine - the CSU spinoff. What is usually being discussed in these questions seems to be LMN:CA. Can you clear this up for me?

Q: Good day guys ,
Finally pulled the trigger here with this name at 34 and change .. is this a good entry point ? That said Having this name in my tfsa for a long term hold , would u be comfortable dollar cost averaging here when funds are available and let this name ride for many years ..
thx
Mark

Q: Hi, I'm wondering if you could explain why you think CSU would spinoff LMN if it has so much potential? If I understand well, CSU has a very decentralized org structure which would allow for LMN to operate relatively independently if it remained part of the larger organization. Why would CSU management spin it off?

Q: In a registered account I would like to do some money recycling and choose 2 to depart from and recycle back into the others. HPS.A with 4% weighting and GSY at 6%. WELL is (well below) purchase price and although I still believe in the company the others might do better with a 5 years horizon but maybe not, your take. Could you identify the 2 you would let go and where would you recycle money into with a 1-5 preference, 1 beeing where you would add the most and 5 you would put the least. Having said all of that the total portfolio is much bigger and the position size of all of the above except for HPS and GSY are in the 1-2% range.

Thank you

Q: Thoughts on the volatility of these two companies share price?

Q: Can you please provide Market Cap for each of these 3. The Cap when they started on the market and what the current Market Cap is as of today. Just trying to get one version that it is accurate. P.S. Thank you for calling this group out.

Q: Can you provide your top 3 small cap picks with the most upside over the next 3-5 years.

Q: In one of your recent questions on LMN you mentioned they expect $300M in ebitda this year. Where are you getting that number from? Thx

Q: I just wanted to thank you for bringing this stock to my attention it’s been good to me and I plan on holding it.

Q: Good Morning,

I hold KXS in my TFSA. My goal is to maximize growth in the account. Would you endorse a switch to one of the above names. Which would be your current two favourites in the group?

Thanks,
Janet

Q: Would you be comfortable with a full position in LMN?

Q: I have enough funds to add a half position. Which of the following options would prefer today:
1)Top up LMN to 5%
2)Start a new position in CSU
3) Start a new position in TRI
4) Start a new position in TVK
5)Divide funds between LMN and HPS.A , bringing each up to around 4.4%
Looking for growth with moderate risk. Thank you.

Q: I want to spend the next 14 months growing my TFSA to pay down my mortgage when it comes due in June 2025. I started this quest about 6 months ago with 20% of the funds, and I'm now about halfway there. I have funds in US for 6 positions, and Canadian for 3, and currently own the above stocks. I haven't yet made my TFSA contribution for 2024, so could add a position to either. Keeping in mind the remainder of my portfolio is well balanced (cash account and RRSP) and this is a 14-month growth mission, do you see anything I should sell, or can you recommend something I should buy?

Q: Hi, Any comments on Lumine Group NR about setting up a $310 mln LOC ? Good ?
May be, it demonstrates LMN Management's commitment for a more expedited growth path than its parent.

Constellation Software, if I remember correctly, set up their first Bank LOC, several years down the road after going public ( may be I'm wrong ), because Mr Leonard, for a long time, had not been a fan of debt, until the company raised the hurdle rate and made a shift towards looking for larger acquisitions.

Thank You

Q: BNS - Stock Charts on 05/28/24 as the next earnings, Yahoo Fin. has 03/01/24 as ex div. payment. The question is, if I sell on 03/02/24 will I receive the div.

LMN - I'm thinking of buying more of this stock. It appears to me that this is a good time, for it has traded sideways for the last week.
Question what is the outlook for this stock in 24/25 yrs.

PRL - Bruce Murray was on BNN Mar 19/24 and commented about Propel Holdings Inc. PRL-TSX. I checked on Yahoo Fin. and they indicated full year earnings 7 days ago beat expectations, but it doesn't appear the market was not impressed. What can you tell me about this company. Yahoo indicated some red flags.
So I would greatly appreciate your input.
Thank You very much Appreciate your service

Q: Would you invest in Lumine or Topicus in a TFSA?

Q: Assume that you've come across LMN's annual report. You have no idea the name of the company and its attachment to CSU. You area also aware of past metrics, and other numbers - the short history that it has.

Question - based on seeing these numbers, what do you see as a reasonable P/C and P/S valuation (or any other better valuation metric) for this unknown company in an assumed economic slowdown....just roughly. Thanks.
