Investment Q&A

Q: I've had my eye on this one for a while. Too bad I did not buy when I came upon it? I tend not to buy small companies that are valued on growth because the landscape is littered with companies that fall faster then they rise when things do not go right. This comp. seems incredibly over valued to me: TTM PE of 27, FPE of 25, 7x book value. Even with an ROE of 20 & PEG ratio over one? It's EPS is very small - so, earning on a cash basis must be a fair bit higher. I'd like to buy - maybe? I prefer dividend growers as well. How liquid is the stock which is important to me because I like to hold good size positions. I did well with BAD & ACQ which were growth stocks: 3 x my money - so, I do like a bit of growth.

Q: Down 80% on PHM and 20% with AYA. Thinking of selling these turkeys and buying SIS. SIS is currently overbought, but seems to have generally good fundamentals. I bought GUD almost 2 years ago at its all time high and just broke even on that purchase. I am concerned about the current valuation of SIS and if I am giving up too soon on AYA. My new rule to avoid this mess in the future is to sell half when down 5% and sell the balance when down 10%. Thankyou

Q: Which is cheaper, prism or savaria?
And what are the growth rates of the two?
Thanks.

Q: Strong 1st Quarter Results on Savaria. Just Hit 8. Still under the Radar. Do you see a continuation of Growth and maybe more Acquisitions. Is this Company just going to keep getting Bigger.

Q: Thank you for your recommendation on SIS. Given the recent run-up, would you consider trimming or just hold. I am a long term investor.

Q: Thoughts on Savaria's earnings? I bought this originally as a 2.5% weight and its now 4.6% of my portfolio with its stellar performance.

Q: Hello, I am trying to choose between NFI and SIS. Both of the stocks are releasing their earning reports in a few days. Do you have any thoughts or any knowledge on whether they will do well? I would appreciate some guidance as to which stock I should pick that would offer the best value and best potential in the future. Do you think I should maybe buy half NFI and half in SIS to spread my risk more evenly? Thanks.

Q: I have IKM in my TFSA, down 46%. Everything else in that account is doing well but I also have $13K in cash. What is the outlook for IKM and what suggestions can you give me for the cash. I currently have TPK, EQB, and PHO. Overall, I tend to be a value investor, like dividends and am somewhat aggressive.

Q: Good morning - I own both these stocks thanks to your recommendations. Both are at all time highs today. Is it time to thin them out or keep enjoying the ride.

Thanks - Steve

Q: Peter and Team,

Any thoughts on why Savaria has been popping this morning? I am looking at it up 5.73% right now with no obvious news anywhere.

I like the name. LIke it long term. Bought it as 2.5% - 3.0$ weithing and its now 4.3%. How big a position is too big for a name like this. I would normally be comfortable with 5%.
