Investment Q&A

Q: Constellation Software has impressively continued to climb to new 52 week highs. Topicus and Lumine have been pretty stagnant lately. Do you expect some share price action from Topicus and Lumine in the next 6 months?

Q: Hi, hold enough EIF that I want to divest and diversify. Looking for high growth over the next 4-5 years, but not as interested in dividends. I also hold a fair bit of CSU and gsy, so am thinking along those lines. What would be a good ranking for the following at today's prices (best to worst), and are there another couple additions you'd suggest? Big thanks!
DOL, BN, CLS, LMN, TOI, DRX, DSG, IFC, TRI, PRL, AFN, GFL.

Q: You seem somewhat concerned by the low level of cash for Luimine in the recent report and how under capitalized the business is. This along with the high EV/EBITA ratio. So we be concerned?

Thx

Q: The stocks are held in m grandson's RESP. Please recommend any others or substitutes. He will not need to access these funds for at least 3 years. At what point would you consider beginning to move out of these growthier equities into less volatile of lower risk? Do you have any recommendations for quality dividend payors that you would slowly accumulate as you reduced these equities?


Thanks very much for your advice.

Mike

Q: Could you provide one CAD and one US growth stock in any sector that you have the most confidence in for a TFSA this would be for a 38 year old.

Q: My Topicus share value is about double the share value of what I have in Lumine and Constellation Software. What are your thoughts about making all three holdings roughly equal or if not equal what mix do you feel is best if considering future growth prospects?

Q: Please comment on the recent big price swing in SHOP , HPS . I want to add either LMN or TOI , which one offer better return ? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: I presently have these underwater stocks in a RESP. BCE, BEP.UN, ENB, FTS, LMN, XIC, ZEB, ZRE. The RESP will not be need for the next 10 years. I would like to sell some of these underwater stocks. Which stocks would you recommend keeping & which stocks would you recommend selling. Thanks … Cal

Q: Does the negative EPS on LMN concern you at all or do you feel that the revenue growth is / will be fast enough to warrant continued confidence?

Rough figures taken from RBC Chart: EPS is approximately -$30 and revenue has grown to $140M.

Thanks!

Q: Where can I find info on the June 7 th debt offering?

Thx

Q: I have a significant position in CSU and of course done well. I also have a small position in LMN. I like both. I’m thinking about selling some CSU to buy some LMN. Thoughts?

Q: Hi 5i, I have the following stocks (NVDA CSU LMN HPS.A BN XDIV RY CNQ JPM BRK.B VDY ENB) equally distributed in my rrsp, these stocks are generating 75% of my dividend-income goal. What changes would you suggest to get the last 25% , I do not mind selling my gold-stocks (the first 3) , but I would prefer to keep them. Hope it makes sense. Thank you 5i.

Q: Good morning, Is there any particular reason why Lumine has had so many down days recently, thanks?

Q: Hi 5i!
Piggy backing off one of my last questions on building a solid portfolio from scratch through diversification et al(THANK YOU!). Knowing you can’t get personal; looking for some mid to long term hold recommendations (either US or CA) in the following sectors with growth upside in mind as I have significant cash (250K+) sitting in my RRSP doing nothing. I am currently quite top heavy in Tech – and own the above in registered and non-registered accounts.

If you have several recos for a sector, can you please rank in order of preference. Additionally, if there is a sector that can be put to the side with the idea of prioritizing others, I would be keen to know. Also open to add ETF's to represent a sector. As always, thanks a million. I love your service.

Q: Hi, currently holding CSU 5.17%, LMN 4.86%, and TOI 1.8%. Have nice gains in all. Looking to trim some CSU and LMN and add to TOI. Would you be comfortable with this move at this time considering each of their fundamentals and valuations? Which do you think has the longest runway for growth and how would you rank them for a 5-10 yr hold.

Also, I have TVK 1.79%, HPS.A 2.02%, PRL 1.41%, WELL 1.91%. No position in DRX (how would you look to avg. into this name?). How would you rank these if you were to add to these positions currently? When looking to add, are you mainly looking at the valuation and fundamentals or does the avg. cost and % return factor into that as well? For example, my HPS.A is up 60% and PRL up 4%, does this factor into your decision of which one to add to or does it not matter and we should just consider the forward return potential? Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i - how would you rank the following tech companies at todays prices for new positions:

LSPD, LMN, KXS, SHOP, CSU, GOOG, DSG

Thanks, Neil

Q: My TFSA is comprised of EIF (up), WELL ( down) and LMN ( up ) in equal amounts and is 4 % of my total ( cash and RRIF ) portfolios. I am not afraid of risk in my TFSA. I am looking at replacing EIF with HTA with the eventual goal of having HTA as my sole RRIF holding. I hold HTA
(5%) and EIF (2%) in my other portfolios. I like HTA for the combination of tech with high income. EIF has been good to me over the years but has been in decline for quite some time. Has something fundamental changed with this company ? HTA would be my only tech holding amongst my portfolios being almost 10% of value. Does this approach make sense?
Thanks. Derek

Q: I currently have small positions in both of the above and want to consolidate. Which do you suggest I sell to buy the other. I have gains on both but taxes not a factor. Longer term investor here, just don't want small positions.

Q: Which of the above should be most positively affected by a dropping Canadian bank rate. Pls rate in most to least..

Q: By not listing in the US, are they in some way shielded from US shorts that target Canadian companies (sometimes for dubious reasons)?
