Investment Q&A

Q: What are the benefits and risks of an investment in CGI?

Q: Good afternoon,
I would appreciate your opinion upon this somewhat unusual REIt.

Q: I own both of these companies and I have very good gains on each of them. What is your rationale for adding to a winning position? Should I wait for a pullback or add to it monthly for the next 3 months or so in addition to the DRIP.

Thank you,
Jason

Q: Tucows (an older pick of yours), has dropped a fair bit since it's last quarter results. Would now be a good time to enter a position for a 5 year hold ? or would you prefer an alternative ? I already hold CSU, KXS & OTEX.
Thank you once more for your valued advice
John

Q: From your income portfolio, could you please name two companies to buy today?

Q: what are the metrics,risks and a 2-4yr outlook on buying both of these?many thanks

Q: I much appreciate the US market maps that finviz.com provides, with its various options and details. Finviz does provide a small market map of the Canadian market, but it lacks relevant detail. Is there a site that provides more fine-grained maps of the Canadian markets? There is a Canadian one at https://stockcharts.com/freecharts/carpet.html?[TSX], but it lacks much detail. Thank you.

Q: Good Morning 5i

Can you confirm % of WEED owned by Institutions/Funds? How has that changed in the last month? What percent is owned by insiders? What percentage is owned/controlled by Constellation (both owned and warrants)?

Therefore what percentage of total shares are available for retail trade? What effect could that have on future SP growth? I'm trying to understand how so many shares being already committed or tied up lends itself to increased likelihood of SP to increase in 2018.

Thanks for any comments.

Q: Your opinion on MCB's prospects going forward. Is this dead money?

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I have suffered as have many with losses in this sector( most of which I have crystallized. I still own HWO, SES and CEU. Assuming I want to stay in the sector would you replace any of the above with either
TCW, SHLE or STEP.
Your opinion and supporting rationale is appreciated. Please dock my questions as you see fit
Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: Hi 5i,
I know that speculating on takeovers is not something you advocate but do you think Covalon may be heading for a buyout? The recently announced licensing agreement with “a large global medical company” reminds me of the deal that Pure signed with Xylem, leading to the takeout of Pure less than a year (I think) later. It looks like a ‘test drive’ of marketing COV’s product and services suite. If the larger company becomes convinced it can sell the product, preserve the margins, and scale that across a larger market, a buyout is a likely next step, isn’t it? Plus, the described global medical company is presumably not Canada-based. For a non-Canadian acquirer, the perceived Saudi-Canada relations risk would likely be a non-issue. Thanks!

Q: Is this stock a buy or do you have another suggestion in the cyber security space ?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Here is a rather unfair question. I realize this may be a difficult comparison. However if you had to choose one of these companies based on current price for a 3 year hold which one has the better long term value? Your opinion is always appreciated!
Thank you!

Q: Hello 5i Team,
What do you think about the short report on Stars Group? The Co. seems to have countered most of the negative points raised. Also, is the short position big and/or still growing?
Thanks for your usual help.

Q: I currently hold shares in GC, TSGI, TSG US (TSGI), & WEED.
Do u feel GC, TSGI & TSG are good long term holds?
Would you take profits in WEED using charts (trade the ups and downs) or just let it run and take profits when?
Tks.

Q: hello! canopy growth has had a giant run in the last few weeks and looks way overbought. what do you think of adding puts at this time?

Q: Would you suggest holding off on REIT's until the economy (inflation) settles, or is the timing right for one of these REIT's? Better suggestions?
Also, for a newbie here, could you tell us what 5i considers a "full position"?

Q: I want to invest in the Cdn and US Tech sector, however I don't want to purchase stocks using US currency. I would like to have exposure to both US and Cdn Tech companies via the TSX. What do you suggest?

Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team. My understanding is that there are 2 significant issues here. US tariffs, and recent miss on performance. I've just recently started managing my own rsp, I'm finding mg to be the toughest decision I've had to make so far. I read that the stock could drop by as much as 30% if the tariffs go through. I've read mostly positive feedback from 5i on MG. Can you help quantify the risk over the next 2 months to a year?
Thanks

Q: What are thoughts and expectations on these two for next 3-5 years.are they going to be alright with Trump tariffs or should I look at something else like MTY or Dollarama
