Q: Good morning 5i
I have held sis for quite awhile, hopeful that its emphasis on the demographic situation would pay off. It does seem to be getting better but as a small cap it doesn’t have the umph that i was hoping for. I have lately been reconsidering my portfolio, anyway and wondering whether i should abandon that hope sell sis and buy something like wsp global or adt, which is down. That way i am leaving behind the risk of a small cap stock, getting possibly more stability in my portfolio and with these two stocks, the possibility of a decent gain. I have a well balanced portfolio, so difference in sector is not a problem
Thanks for your great service for us all

Q: I am mostly content with my health care stocks with the exception of MDT. It has been essentially flat since about 2016 except for the dividend. It did peak around 2022 but has fallen down to previous levels.
What do you think of the longer term for MDT?
Would you make any other changes for slow but reliable growth and higher end of dividends.
As always, thank you for the great service.

Q: I have noticed in recent questions that you have been ranking Savaria and tcl lower than you have in the past. I am curious as to why the change? Awhile ago you had very high hopes for these two. To a layman, the reasons still seem valid: an aging population and new vision for packaging. Please don’t see this comment as a criticism. I realise that things change. I also have esteem and a high level of confidence in 5i. I am just curious about the elements that brought about this change.

Q: Hello. I’ve held Savaria in an RESP for a number of years and have done decently though it has not performed well recently. Ignoring diversification etc I’m wondering if a switch into TVK might provide better returns. Thoughts on this ignoring other holdings?

Thanks

Q: Hi, can you please comment on their recent quarters?
Anything to be concerned about with either company going forward?
I have owned both for several years (full positions) but SIS has seen a bit of slow growth (for me) the last year and I'd like to reduce to a 1/2 position. Can you please suggest an alternate stock(s) (any sector) given today's environment that should offer better growth potential.

Cheers,
Steve

Q: Hello 5i, on a scale of 1-10, 1= little tariff impact, 10= big tariff impact, stay away from, how would you rate these 2 companies?
In addition is there a Sector like Metals and Minerals that you would give a favourable ranking to? Thanks as always. Chris

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Our Industrial holdings are too high, considering their vulnerability to the “Trump tariffs”, as you suggested in a question today from Shirley.

In what order would you reduce or sell any of these stocks? This is a daunting task, as I like them all, and they are among the “cream of the crop” in this sector.

I’m planning to use the proceeds to buy some US small and mid-cap ETFs and would appreciate any Canadian domiciled ETFs that you could suggest.

Thanks for your insight.
