Q: Do you know why ATS is moving up when TSX is down. It has move up in last 4 days. Is it time to buy more and average down.


Thanks for the great service

Q: Good Day,

I redid my portfolio early this year based on much of your feedback. And of those picks, Every single one of them was up, most significantly so, at least once, since that time. Some have returned/fell below those buy levels.

1. DRX, HPS, LMN and VRT, seem to have consolidated up a healthy amount, do these appear to be new support levels from which they'll continue to grow? Still Aces in your books?

2. SMCI is furthest from this years high, what are the main barriers it would have to reaching that high again in the coming year? In your opinion is it likely to get there within 12-18months?

3. NXT, CELH, CDNS, DCBO, and ATS all went significantly up, and almost as precipitously down. They seem to languish. I doubled down (half to full) on CELH on the first big drop in April, which seemed worth it in May, but less so now. Do you have faith in these names still? Is their prospect for growth still the same as it was in February? Are there new names in this Growth profile (or what is was in February) that you are more confident in? With your suggestions here, please rank them with these names from highest to lowest prospects/confidence.

4. AMD. Is it worth holding the 2nd fiddle? Would it be better used in something in 1st in a different space? like AVGO or QCOM?

5. DIS. Been very up and down on this half position. Worth going to a full at this point, or would you want to see the ship righted a bit more before increasing? Would you sell a Disney holding?

AMZN, GOOG, NVDA, TVK, DRX, POWL, TCS and CROX all doing their thing for me :), suggestions other than these please.

Thanks for all you do! Please take however many credits you need.

Q: Looking for a suggestions on a proxy for a tax loss sale against other gains.

Q: Thanks for answering both of my questions on ATS and BYD earnings. In reviewing past answers on these 2 companies it seems to me that this in not the first 'disappointing' quarter they have had.

They seem to be in a slump on earnings and in performance which naturally follows.

ATS -31% year to date and -30 for 1 year.

BYD -18% year to date and -3% for 1 year.

Both significantly lagging the S&P and QQQ.

How much longer will you give these 2 in your portfolios before they are replaced?

If you were to replace them today with good quality US stocks with good performance numbers, which would they be?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5I. I, unfortunately got into this equity at too high a price point ($54). I have to believe it has a good growth future. I am contemplating averaging down but obviously hesitant due to the proverbial falling knife. What say you?

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

I see ATS is still in your growth portfolio. I took the stairs up and so far am riding the elevator down. Do I assume that you feel this is not a weed that needs pulling and (overly)patient investors like myself would likely regret getting out at the current floor in the elevator?
Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: Your analysis of earnings, please

Sheldon

Q: In preparation for putting proceeds of PLC tender to work, can you please rank these stocks for potential total return over a 5-7 year timeframe and taking current valuations into account?

Q: I am down about 23% on a small position in ATS. If I decide to sell it for a tax loss, what are 2 or 3 US growth oriented industrial stocks to investigate as a replacement?

Q: Hello 5i...with respect to Cdn Industrials...I am looking to consolidate 9 positions into 6 to 7 holdings...thaey are ( largest to smaillest holding ) WSP, TFII, EIF, ATS, CJT, HPS.A, TRI, TVK, DRX, I am looking for some sort of combo of stable growth ( I have good gains in WSP and TFII and will hold, but could trim ) and potential exceptional growth. Would appreciate if you could rank based on growth and how you might see a consolidation effort for these.

One option being considered is to move completely out of CJT and /or ATS to US industrials and looking at potentials FIX or TT... would like your opinion on this move and if you have preference for one or another suggested potential US industrial ( I already hold AXON )

thanks/Art

Q: Hi Team,
After the sell off of the last couple days now what are 3 of your favourite Canadian stocks you would be keen on buying today for a long term hold, regardless of sector ranked best to least. Also if there are any US names available as cdrs that are good buys today after some extreme selling I would be interested in those to.

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: Good Morning, I am currently looking to add to my industrial holdings. I already own TIH and ATS but I can either build up my ATS position or introduce DRX to the mix. Your thoughts please. Thank you

Q: I am down on these 3 stocks. Do you see a positive future on them anytime soon?

Q: Hi Team,
PRL appears to be breaking out recently. If looking to add to a position here is now the time? Also, would you advise selling Ats and switching into PRL with the funds? Ats has been a drag for a long time now in my portfolio .

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: I bought ATS intending to hold long term (5-8yrs) in my TFSA. A year in it is down 30%. Should I hang on or redeploy towards an industrial with better prospects from today?
Thank you!

Q: Magma has been falling over the last year and your comments have not been positive recently. Wondering if you would suggest switching to LNR. Is there other names in manufacturing you like?

Q: Hi!

Of these 3 companies updated in your yesterday would you consider any a “buy/add in 1/3’s” for a 1-3 year hold ?

Thanks!

Q: What would you consider good entry points for the noted stocks? Is there any you would not purchase at current levels?

Thanks
Tim
