Investment Q&A

Q: Hi. I'm currently over weight in Consumer Defensives (BYD, PBH & PRWM) and under weight in Industrials (WSP, TFII, STN & SIS).
I'm thinking of selling PRMW and buying EIF. Based on future prospects do you think this trade makes sense. I intend to hold for a few years. Thanks!

Q: Are you aware of any public water-recycling companies that may be worth investing in?

Thank you.

Q: What are your thoughts for this quarter? It seems like they are being punished for a strong quarter.

Thanks

Q: How do you see the real estate sector performing over the next 12-18 months? In an otherwise balanced portfolio, I currently have no real estate holdings. Would you suggest I add here and - if yes - would you opt for RIT or DIR.UN? It would be a 3% total weighting. Alternatively, I could purchase either OTEX, EIF or PRMW. Looking for a combination of growth with a fair-sized dividend and moderate risk. What would recommend - and in what order (strongest first)? Thank you.

Q: I am trying to high-grade my portfolio to reduce the number of holdings down to about 25. I own this company in a registered account and while I am up on it, I wonder about its future growth. A while ago, you dropped PRMW as you felt there were better opportunities elsewhere. Do you still hold this opinion? Would you expect your answer to change depending on their quarterly report next week? Finally, what category do you place the company in as there seems to be some discrepancy between your last report (Con Discretionary) and the Industry database (defensive)?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: What would be a good replacement

Q: Just to clarify, 5i is selling all of ANRG and PRMW and LSPD from the portfolios.

ANRG and LSPD are at all time lows. So you're selling at the lows.

Prmw is bullish and moving higher and is near its high and you're selling that as well.

What happened to run with the winners and sell the losers (not at their low)?

Q: Could I have your thoughts on JWEL please? Do expansion opportunities into the US (purchase of Nutrawise) change your previous coolness on the stock at all?

Are there other stocks in the sector you prefer?

Q: I believe PRMW.CA provides dividends in U.S. dollars. Thus I have journaled the shares into a US account. Is this the correct move?
Thank you
Stanley

Q: Greetings, I already own PBH, ATB and COST but would like to add a consumer non-cyc. In order, I would like to protect against loss of capital, receive a greater than 2% dividend, and enjoy some reasonable growth. Which of the two above would you choose for a long term hold? If you could choose a U.S. name, is there one you prefer over both? Thank-you!

Q: Hello everyone.

If your goal was to pick 3 companies that had the highest percentage chance of growing their eps by close to 10% and their dividend by 5% for the next 2 to 3 years, which companies would you select, today?

Thanks.

Q: Hi Guys
Just curious why you guys on more concerned about their stretched balance sheet.
Interest coverage is a mere 1.1x . There is also a ton of debt, net debt around 1.45 billion on a Market Cap of about 2.8 billion
Free cash flow also only covers about 16% or so. Will they have to raise more capital in the future?
Thanks Gord

Q: I have losses in these four equities (between 10% and 25%) and was contemplating selling them. Would you continue to hold onto these equities or would you sell? What order would you sell them in?

Q: What’s your outlook for SAP and is it good candidate for a defensive hold over the summer months.Maybe any other suggestions in the space…

Q: I have been considering acquiring three of the above companies. I what order would you acquire for a balanced portfolio looking for combination of growth and income.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

PRMW had a big run up for about a week a couple of months back and has been down since.......how do you feel about capital appreciation on it versus PLC going forward.

Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: Hi 5i,

If one was predisposed to achieve a higher yield for an income portfolio, what would you replace WSP, PRMW and PLC with? Or does this defeat the purpose of balance and keeping some growth?
