Q: Hello 5i team,
In a November 16th answer, you mentioned GSY, PHO, GH and QTRH as potential go private companies. What would make them « ripe » (ready) to be bought? What characteristics (size? Slowing growth?) would help to know that a go private transaction might happen let’s say in the next year? I am surprised you included GSY (starting soon auto financing) and PHO (some new management recently) on your short list as they seem to still have growth avenues and no financing problems.
Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: I am interested in starting a position in one or two of the above three companies. I know that Goeasy is a financial company and also pays a dividend. I therefore have a slight leaning toward Goeasy first.

Could you rate the 3 companies, best first with any pros and cons that you feel are noteworthy. What company do you feel might have the most upside in the next two or three years. Thanks for your wisdom and guidance. It has helped me on many occasions in purchasing good companies, such as Kinaxis and Lightspeed.

Q: In a TFSA, with a focus on growth and a timeline that can be 3 years or more. I am fine with high beta and the fact that these are all at, or close to, their 52-week highs.
I have enough cash for a new, full position in just two of these stocks. The only tech I own is LSPD, hence SHOP is not in my list of 5 potentials here.
Based on fundamentals (EPS, P/E, P/B, & ROE), GSY ranks 1st or 2nd on every metric. Which would you like for a second choice that compliments GSY?
Thx.

Q: Hello 5i,
I sold PLC at a gain to buy AW due to the higher dividend and good pricing. I sold ET and bought TCL.A also at a good price now.

With the excess cash from the sale of ET should I wait to see what you suggest next or buy CU which s not in your portfolios but has a good dividend, is at a good price and is suggested by you in many instances or buy GOEASY also at a good price, growing, and a reasonable dividend? I am 73 looking for dividend and some growth with a ten year outlook. I do not need the funds as a defined pension plus dividends. If you have better suggestions I would appreciate them.

Q: I am negative on subject three U.S. companies (FSLY, TWLO, ISRG) While these companies may be good growth companies if held long enough, I would appreciate your suggestions of several U.S. and Canadian companies that are likely to have more near term growth, any market segment and I have much risk tolerance. Thanks.

Q: Good morning 5i,

Looking to add two names to my portfolio, with the only criteria being a combination of balance and growth, and with a long-term horizon. Currently thinking of GSY and REAL/LSPD, are you good with these at today’s levels? Listed some others I’m interested in too. Any other of your favourites you’d consider (already own KXS, WELL). Thanks.

Q: Good morning team,
I'm looking to start a half-position in a financial company with the best prospects for total return over the next 10 years to augment my current holdings of TD and SLF. Given a choice between BAM and GSY (or another name if you think there is a better option), which would you select?
Thanks in advance,
Rory
