Q: Posted Nov 19th the 5i Stock Screener Canadian Stocks for Tax-less Selling (2024)
screened PBH as a company that meet the required criteria to sell before the end of 2024. And then on Nov 28 based on a question from a member, PBH was a stock identified for income/ dividends names, as you prefer to stick with high-quality companies with a long-term track record of consistent growth in dividends and a strong balance sheet.

Why do you suggest to sell the stock on Nov 19 and then on Nov 28 you suggest to buy the stock? Given that own this stock, and considering to sell my position for tax loss purposes, can you please clarify your position?

Thank you.

Q: hi, I am down on all these names. I am considering adding to (some of?) them. I am looking for some growth in share price ( to match or beat inflation ) and a consistent growing dividend ( matching or beating inflation ). I also don't want to end up with another AQN or BCE scenario. could you kindly give us your advice on these names and include your thoughts on whether they are a buy (add to ), sell, or hold please.
cheers, Chris

Q: Recently I asked a question about premium brands. When I thought my question wasn't answered I re-asked the question. However I was too fast and you did answer my original question. So I apologize for being too hasty. My next question relates to the app. I have a new tablet and am having no luck in finding the app on Google playstore. Any suggestions? I'll wait patiently for your answer.

Q: Magna, Parkland, and Premium Brands have seen significant declines, making them look like attractive dividend stocks with yields around 4%. What do you think about buying them for their dividends? Is there a risk that these stocks could fall further? Which one would be the best to buy for its dividend and potential recovery, and which one should I avoid? Please rank them.

Q: Hello 5i
I just noticed that in answer to a question you have put adt.ca ahead of premium brands in its category as a favourite pick. I have been worried that adt direction may be looking for a big way to make their mark in their acquisition. I have wondered whether that would bring them to abandon their usual caution. I hold pbh at now, a quite small capital gain and have been thinking about selling it. Just wondering what makes you so confident about this deal. And also, whether it is good enough to make the switch?
Thanks for this great service

Q: Hi There,
I currently have small positions in FTS (1.5%) and PBH (1.1%) which I am contemplating selling both and starting a new position in TIH for a higher growth profile. In your opinion, would you expect TIH to grow fast than the other two?
Thank you,

Q: Greetings. I'm considering some fall cleaning and would value your opinion on each of these (currently underwater) listed stocks. Hold or toss over the side and go trolling for more profitable opportunities? Thanks for your response.

Q: I have held PBH for 5 years now. I like the increasing dividend and have seen a small amount of capital increase as well. I just added to my position. They are forecasting an increase in sales and EBITA of 50% or so over the next 3 years. With all the capex being spent on expansions some of this should help expand the margins as well. If this all works out I expect there is a reasonable chance of good capital expansions in the future as well as the dividend increases I have been getting. Any thoughts.
