Q: Whenever analysts talk about PBH (premium brands) or CSU (constellation) they inevitably talk about them being over-valued and due to fall or tread water for a while. You've allowed both to rise to about the 6.5% level in the portfolio (as per the last record on your site) without trimming. Does that mean you disagree with the analysts, or simply don't care about a short term fallback of 10%-20% since you are confident they will eventually regain that and move past it?

Q: Please explain if the offering of subscription receipt would cause dilution in PBH
Please comment on the financial result of SQ & SPOT
Thanks

Q: Hi guys,

Which stocks do you think have the potential to become 5, 10, or even 20 baggers over time? Would PBH, SIS, and PBL be on the list (or has their time past)? Also, can you rank the three in terms of which have the most growth going forward?

Thanks in advance.

Q: Hello I have a couple of different portfolios each with a different objective so assume balance and diversification over all. But if a person wanted to construct a concentrated portfolio of 5-7 stocks total to cover different sectors mid risk with a mix of growth and dividend payers what would be your top picks today? Banking, telco, energy, consumer discretionary, utilities. As always thanks for the great service.

Q: In an April 2nd answer pertaining to a question about PBH, you stated that it is not cheap at 27X earnings. Both TD WaterHouse & 5iResearch’s company page states PBH’s P/E ratio is about 44X. Does the 27X figure refer to the forward P/E. If it does, from where did you obtain that figure & is it possible for 5iResearch clients to have access to companies forward P/E ratios. Thanks … Cal

Q: Hello 5i, I am up over 70% on this company. So I am wondering if it is time to consider selling or should I accumulate more. It's still under 5% of my portfolio. Do you see any reason to sell? What is your assessment of the company. They seem to be doing all the right things for some growth. Do you see anything in the near term that could cause some downward pressure? Thanks for your service..

Q: What are your 5 best picks for dividend growth stocks with an appropriate valuation?

Q: Hi team,

I'm putting money towards my TFSA (10K) and was wondering what you think would be the best way to invest it. I was considering starting with 5 stocks: PBH, SIS, CSU, KXS, TOY. My second thought was choosing 2-3 of those stocks and adding in ETF's. Thirdly, I was thinking to invest investing fully into ETF's. I would say that I'm in between balanced and growth in terms of risk.

What are your thoughts? And if the ETF route, which would you recommend?

Thanks in advance,

Jon
