Q: Hi 5i,
Thanks to your recommendation I am currently at a double with gsy. I was looking for your outlook with this company going forward from these levels. I know you have previously said it was still cheap? Do you see the SP continuing to rise nicely over the next 12 months? The main reason I am asking is I am considering trimming my position and buying some CRM (Salesforce). Would you consider this an ok move? Or do you see gsy share price climbing as much or better than CRM possibly will over the next 12 months? Thanks for your opinion.

Read Answer Asked by Herbert on September 25, 2018
Q: Hi guys,
I hold one ETF and a mix of equities (selected from your portfolios) in my TFSA, with the following weightings:
COV 5.48
CSU 6.70
GSY 5.42
KXS 4.93
PBH 4.26
PHO 4.50
SHOP 7.57
SIS 6.59
TOY 6.05
TSGI 5.63
VUN 30.35
WEED 12.51
Everything is up from initial purchase (many thanks) but some have grown much faster than others. I am considering rebalancing and/or adding a new position. Is there a notable position that you would add/remove (e.g, VUN in exchange for equities)? I have VXC and VCN in my RRSP so maybe VUN is better located in there.
Thanks for the amazing service and knowledge base that 5i provides.
Mark

Q: What would happen if there is an economic downturn or recession and people lose jobs and there are high non-performing loans at Goeasy.
Does the company have a hold on the asset being financed ? Does defaulting on Goeasy loan have a strong impact on individual credit scores ? Im wondering if Goeasy will have a huge NPL or face something similar to sub-prime crisis because they are one of the few players in a market which is not serviced by banks but more by pay day loans and credit cards.

Q: Good day to all. I am looking for a few very good value stocks. It seems that many investors are beginning to do the same. I am well diversified so your answer could include any sector and dividends are not that important but would be a nice bonus.
Thank you
Have a great weekend

Q: My 20 year old son has been investing based on your balanced portfolio. He has little need for income currently as he has at least two more years in school. Those costs are covered by an RESP. His financials holdings consist of BNS and ECN. Do you see any value in selling ECN and replacing it with either SLF or GSY? Is there any possible catalyst that will start ECN on an upward trajectory?
