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: Good morning,
In the industrial holdings in my portfolio I hold SIS and WSP. I’ve held SIS for quite some time. SIS seems to be a bit stagnant so I’m thinking of replacing it with AXON for increased growth. What do you think of such a switch?

Q: These are in my TFSA at red ATZ AEM, BNS, CCL.B, GSY SIS, and these are at green BYD, CSU, LMN, SHOP, WSP, and TFII. Very close to my cost are BN, ENB, MG, DSG. Would you suggest anything for cleaning up or any new addition(s). Please deduct as many points as required.
Thank you

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.

Q: I have small positions in TOI, NVEI, SIS, TOY and WELL in a TFSA, and am considering
adding to one of these.
Please rate these stocks in terms of growth prospects and indicate how much patience might be required.
Thanks.

Q: Hello,

Looking for advice to invest our RESP contribution this year for my daughter. Time horizon is 17 years. Do you prefer any of these for good growth, or are their any others you would prefer (companies traded in Canada would be ideal)?

Thank you, and Happy New Year.

Q: I'm hoping to take profit from ATD and maybe CSU. My weight in CSU is out of hand but I find it hard to sell that juggernaut. I also have TOI and LMN. I'm happy with my weighting of TOI and i plan to add a small weighting in LMN. I'm underweight in the following: SIS, PBH, SHOP, TD, BEP.UN, ENB, T, SLF, AW.UN. How would you rank these names going forward? Would you recommend swapping any of these for better opportunities that 5i covers or are in the balanced portfolio?
