Q: Hello,

Time to deploy some cash. Do I add to AQN ( up 20% on existing position) or initiate a position is SIS. Looking at 2 year time frame, not worried about diversification, just relative upside.

Q: Good afternoon Peter, Ryan and others in 5i
Right now my wife's TFSA is down 20%, trailing 12 months return. In her account, she has BCE 11.19%, ENGH 26.04%, NFI 15.53%, SIS 9.41%, TOY 32.49% and MU 4.71%. TOY is down over 9%. And ENGH, NFI and SIS have all dropped from 33% to 81% from their highs. But she bought these three stocks early. As a result, unlike TOY, they are still in positive positions (unrealized gains). She thinks that in TFSA there should not be any stocks going down so much for quite some time. She is thinking of selling or trimming some of them. What is your option on these stocks? Which stocks should she trim or sell? We are seniors at age of 67 and 69, and we don't need to take money out of TFSA for a long time. Could you recommend a few U.S. and Canadian solid growth stocks for her TFSA? We do need to have some consumer discretionary stocks. Could you also suggest Canadian and U.S. stocks in this sector? Maybe three each?
Thank you very much for your excellent advice all eight years since we jointed 5i.
Jim

Q: What is Savaria up to this morning? Can you explain what they are now offering? It seems similar to another announcement that aggravated investors in the past few weeks but with a better price. Also, was the guidance okay?

Q: Good morning 5i Team

This is a general question about secondary share offerings like the one issued by Savaria recently. In coming up with the offering price, is it typically based on a fundamental analysis of the corporations value or is it just a negotiated discount to the current market price?

Thanks as always.
Peter

Q: Good Morning
Is this deal with SIS today a positive ? Is the family involvement in this deal a positive development for the company ?
Thank You

Q: My grand children (<3 & <1 year-old) have the above 4 stocks in the RESP. There is money for investment in 2 more stocks (long-term). I would appreciate your suggestions.

Q: Your thoughts on these companies at present values. Looking at 1 year hold.

Q: Hi,

In the process of replicating the growth portfolio. There are 3 industrial companies in it; ATA, GDI and PEO(which I currently own) I also own SIS and want to keep but also want to keep that sector at three stocks. Which one between ATA and GDI would you drop in order to keep SIS?
Thank you

Q: Hi, What will be the new no. of outstanding shares for Savaria, with 5 mln new shares issued and the insider ownership ( Mr Bouroussa and family, with addition of 71,000 committed from new issue) ? Based on 2019 guidance, and taking into account this dilution, what will be the pay out ratio ? Is this dividend 3.5 cents/month sustainable, in your view ? While no one likes a secondary at $14.15 after an issue at $16.60, a year ago, on a positive note, company could pay down a large portion of $101 mln debt, thus strengthening the balance sheet. Is there a silver lining and stock is worth adding at current level for 3% dividend yield and growth ? Also, is there a lock-in period of 4 months for the new shares from April 22, the expected closing date of secondary? Could it place more pressure on the stock, down the road ? Thank You

Q: Would you buy the dip today
Thanks
Karim

Q: I hold SIS and also disappointed, but I did purchase at $5.72 so I will watch for now. PLC announced an offering: Park Lawn Corporation Announces $125 Million Bought Deal Offering and Successful Completion of Cress Funeral Service Acquisition. Stock down 6.75%, is this an opportunity to purchase PCL at a discount?
Thanks

Q: re fund raise this bourassa is just nasty, they just raised money, i am gone as of today.dave

Q: I would like to know if there is any "hanky panky" going on with
SIS and Dejardins. SIS got upgraded by Dejardins from $16 to $17.50 on an earnings miss which made the stock go up over $15. Now Dejardins are the underwriters
of this deal. Also does this type of "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours"
happen often in the markets?

Q: What are your thoughts on the bought deal private placement of 5M shares? If this was a less common occurrence it would be acceptable but SIS just raised money last year. On both occasions they wait for the share price to get to around $15/$16 and they decide to raise money and drive the share price down. They have set a ceiling on the share price and everytime it gets momentum they send it falling back down to earth. It seems to me that they raise the dividend to drive up the share price only to dilute our shares to get more money. If you need money why raise the dividend 20%, why not keep it the same or slight raise to save money and stop diluting and let the share price go above $16. I've liked mgmt but I'm starting to lose confidence in their decisions around growth. They have just ensured that the share price will fall to $14 tomorrow and stay in that range for months to come. Same as last year. Sorry, frustrated with the recurring dilution. Thanks
