Q: Long term holder of SIS and PBH, but would you endorse a switch to EIF over one of those two as part of a long term balanced portfolio?

I know there should be brighter days ahead for both SIS and PBH, but EIF looks appealing....

Q: Good afternoon,

Long-term holder of SIS and barely above water. It seems like the potential has always been there, and decent div, but based off of some of your recent comments I'm wondering if a switch to ATS may make sense - both industrials, yes no Div (but growth trumps div's), and it actually appears ATS is cheaper than SIS on PE (though not on P:book).

3-5 years out, which do you feel has more potential to outperform the other? Thanks in advance. - Jeff

Q: SIS is down 6% after an earnings report that appears to be their best ever. Plus the following forward looking comments from Bourassa ..... " Our goal for the end of 2025 to reach approximately $1 billion of revenue and 20% adjusted EBITDA are well within our sight. " ...... Could 5i comment on the quarter and conference call with your analysis ? And possibly some insight into the stock reaction ? With optimistic forward looking statements I normally don't expect the stock price to go down ..... Thanks Garth ......

Q: Can you please provide your thoughts on the stocks listed for a RESP that will start to draw down in 4 years? In addition to these positions the portfolio has a good core position in CDN, US and INTL large cap ETFs. Any that you would get rid of now? If so, please provide alternatives (both Cdn and US).

Q: The two least profitable stocks in my entire portfolio are SIS (up an anemic 6% after two years) and PBH (up 10% in the same time period). I'd like to replace both with something growthier - but here's the catch - I want similar dividends (+/- 1%) and I want Canadian replacements in the same sector. My only other Consumer Defensive is COST. Current industrials are WSP, HPS.A, J, and TFII. I would welcome your speculation on how SIS and PBH are likely to grow this year...and what potential replacements might be. Thank you.
