Q: Now that Savaria stock price has lowered substantially since the beginning of the year, I am considering it for my income portfolio with its 4% yield and some growth. Before I do, I have the following questions:
1. In your opinion, is Savaria a "Capital Intensive" company? -- Capital intensive companies don't perform well during inflation period.
2. What is the dividend payout ratio over cashflow?
3. How do you feel about the debt level compared to its free cash flow? and
4. In your opinion, to what extent will higher interest rates impair their acquisition strategy. If they can't aquire other companies, what is the risk the growth becomes anemic?

Thanks.

Q: Am thinking of selling to crystallize tax loss and rebuying in 30 days. My timing is usually terrible when doing this. Do you think the market will make any significant moves in the next 30 days?
What replacement stocks would you recommend to buy for the 30 days?
Is SIS worth rebuying or is there something else in the Industrial space that would be better? Was thinking of EIF.

Q: HI, This retired income couple want to invest 5K for our 20 year old grand daughter from our TFSA. To do so we have to sell some of our holdings in this account. Our largest holding SLF to our smallest TPZ are available with profits in most. Please suggest best to worst to select for raising the necessary cash. Our plan is to use the cash to purchase VGT.US or perhaps your other preferred etfs to be used in about 3-5 years. Thanks

Q: Hi there, I am a big fan of your Balanced Equity Portfolio. I like the more growth oriented names in it and was wondering if you were to swap out the less growth names for names that have a little more risk but for higher return, which would you swap and for what names? Thanks!

Q: Please name and rank five Canadian stocks providing dividends > 2% that are likely to experience strong growth over the next five years. (Please exclude GSY as it's already owned and I'm assuming would be on the list.) Thank you.

Q: Savaria has been heading downwards for the last six months, correcting by roughly 25% from its peak in September 2021. It represents 2% of my portfolio as I am writing. I have read the initial commentary on SIS posted to the message board, and I understand that your group may still be digesting the content of the recent investor's call from earlier today.

I would like to hear your thoughts on whether it is more prudent to wait for management to right the ship, so to speak, or if better opportunities lie elsewhere. If I were to sell Savaria, which opportunities within the healthcare space would you deem worthy of investment? Thanks so much, and I look forward to your response.

Q: Hi 5i team,

A few days you answered a free cash flow question with one of your favorites being Savaria. After listening to their CC do you still belive in the long term outlook of this company? Short term issues, not in management's control provide good buying opportunities, similar to other great manufacturers like Magna.

Thx
