Investment Q&A

Q: I have 26 positions in a combination of your growth and balanced funds and have liquidity to add 3 or 4 new positions or add on's to what I have. Without listing my positions, is it fair to ask you for your 'fav' 5 or 6 undervalued equities that I could add while there is tax loss selling?
Grazi,

Q: These stocks are held in my wife's RRIF - just turned 71 - start withdrawing 2026. QSR, NTR ,GSY & GRT.UN small positions. GSY added this year. Thinking of selling GRT.UN - stock has not done much & very small dividend increaser, QSR (500 shs) small position - not big dividend grower - thinking of selling, NTR held fora while - up a fair bit 44%, 500 shs - sell? Comments if you agree with my analysis and if so, what should buy or add to this account?

Q: I plan to convert most of my stock holdings into ETF's by Dec 15/ 28. The highlighted stocks are in my TFSA with significant loses due to poor timing increasing positions. Would you hang in there or cut bait and move on. For the names you would kiss goodbye, please suggest a more stable proxy. Thank you

Q: Hello 5i Team

With the buyout of LB at $40.50, which will occur Q3 2026 and current share price around $39.90, is it better to sell or to wait out the nine months to closing and collect 3 x $0.47 dividend plus sale price equal to $41.91.

Second, if I was to sell today, which would be the best purchase:

EQB
GSY
PRL

or allocate one third of the sales proceeds to each?

Thanks for great services 5i provides.

Q: Do you see the recent poor sector sentiment and change in CEO as a buy the dip opportunity, or would you exercise caution here and wait before adding to a position, or sell and move on to other opportunities?

Q: I currently own a small position in GSY in my TFSA. Tired on the volatility of this stock and considering changing for HPS.A. Sector change is ok.
Which of the two would you consider to have better growth prospects for a 5 year hold? Why?

Thanks,

Jim

Q: I’m only interested in Canadian compounders. Compounding companies that are mid to large cap that I am invested in are CSU, TOI, LMN, TFII, and ATD. Can you recommend 5-10 possibilities for 5-10 year compounders in the Canadian small cap space?

Q: Hello, could you comment on insider trading with these 2 co's? Thank you

Q: A number of Small/Mid caps seem to be finding a bottom and rebounding nicely over the last week.. I have small positions in these names, what order would you be adding to these names at current pricing? Is there any you wouldn’t add to?

Thanks
Tim

Q: I currently own all of the above in various porfolios. In a concentrated TSFA which 3 from your balanced portfolio would you buy for long term. Currently own GLXY and PRL at great loss in TSFA would you add?
Thank you.

Q: Peter; With the article on LENDCARE, whose parent company is GSY, do you see this affecting GSY? Thanks,
Rod

Q: hello
I have a partial position on gsy; go easy
it has plummeted

looking for a bottom , what would be a good entry price for a 3 years hold? would you prefer GSY over PRL which is a smaller company?
thanks

Michael

Q: Thank you for the recent flash update on several companies that have experienced a large decline in the last few months. Your reports reaffirmed the solid foundation of these companies. Also nice to see a bit of a bounce upward of these companies,
Thanks Stephen

Q: Firstly, I very much appreciate your tax loss, selling list and the explanations that came with it.

I am down about 22% on both BCE and GSY. Would either or both be appropriate for a tax loss/re-buy strategy?

On PSI, X, and TSU I am down about 6 1/2%. Is it worth considering these for the same strategy, or am I just being silly?


Thank you very much for your help.

Q: want to raise some cash(tech breaking down technically) in what order would you sell the above listed stocks bearing some are winners and some are losers so what your recommendation sell winners or losers first without getting in to too much specifics. CSU as an example sell now to claim loss or then buy back after 30 days FFH on the other hand is up 60% so sell now and hope to buy back later at lower price. what would you do? Remember i want to raise cash so how would you approach this rebalancing ...thanks for your help

Q: In my last question on GSY { Nov. 6/25 your answer was :

" With shares being down in the 17% range after the release, and weakness heading into earnings, we think a lot of bad news is getting priced in at this stage. GSY has been around for a long time and has managed through numerous types of environments, so we don't see much reason to think this one will be any different nor are we convinced that there is a 'severe' issue at hand at this point in time. Economic growth might be seeing a bit of a slowdown but we think they can (and have in the past) manage a slowdown fine. "

I'm not seeing any kind of a floor forming but I am seeing a falling knife . I am highly tempted to cut my losses which will largely depend on any additional comments you may have .....
