Investment Q&A

Q: What are the estimates for earnings this evening? Thank you

Q: Hi there. A question regarding Go Easy GSY. We have been fortunate to be in a profit position above 30% in this company. With 6 recent revisions to the downside and a 6 month performance of -1.7 versus the 10.51% in SPTSX would you hold into earnings considering this could be quite a volatile week? or take some profit? We hold a sizable amount in our TFSA so capital gains is a non-issue. Thanks!

Q: Finally investing into an RESP.
These are some of my choices I have come up with.
Decent plan?

Q: Are these buying ops with recent developments,thanks.

Q: Hi team;
Any reason for the weakness in Canadian names today ? Namely the mentioned names for example, especially Gsy? Gsy down 10% in 2 days seems a bit drastic. Is there concern here or a bit the dip opportunity?

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: Would you start a position after the steep drop today?

Q: Hello Team,

I wonder if you can comment on the steep fall of GSY yesterday followed by a much steeper one today followed by the announcement of 'preliminary Third Quarter Data'. Was it really that bad?
Thanks you,

Q: Hi Team,
What's going on with GSY today dropping 5%? Is the tender offering viewed as negative somehow? Looks to me all they are doing is paying off other debt with the new debt. I would assume the company knows what they are doing here, not sure why the negativity around this.

thanks,
Shane.

Q: Greetings 5i team,
I hold these seven companies in my TFSA in roughly equal amounts. I would like to add WELL to my TFSA. Would it be wise to shave a bit from all of the companies listed in order to do so?
Or, do you see a better solution to achieve this (ie. SELL one / two of the other positions in favour of WELL)?
Thank you as always.
SP

Q: Good Day,
I have some funds to deploy in my TFSA. I am thinking of adding to one of two securities listed. Which one do you believe offers the best buying opportunity in the current market?
Thank you

Q: Simply Wall Street has GSY undervalued by 49.4% with earnings forecast to grow by 17.09% per year. Whereas they have PRL overvalued by 54.4% with earnings forecast to grow by 38.3% per year. They also have GLXY at 78.9% undervalued and earnings forecast to grow by 14.66% per year ......First question. Do you concur with these numbers ? Second question. Which one do you prefer and why ? Also please rank from first choice to third choice ......Thanks for your terrific service Garth ......

Q: Just a comment. Quite some time ago GSY was trading around $90 and issued a huge number of shares significantly under 90. The deal sold out plus the over allotment. The market price dropped of course on high volume. I realized that the firm buying the shares were fully expecting that the value of GSY hence the share price would go well beyond $90.
I apply the same thoughts to PRL

Q: Hello, from your growth portfolio, what would be your current ranking in order of purchase please?

Q: Hi Team,
Prior to the CEO departure announcement in early July GSY was in a nice uptrend. Since then the stock has struggled gaining any ground; even though last earnings were record as usual and outlook looks fantastic. Do you see the CEO leaving and lack of replacement thus far as the main overhang in the stock performance recently? Any rumors swirling about who might be available to take the job?

Q: Hi 5i team,

What would be your current 5 best (highest conviction) buys in each of the following categories please.
1. small cap
2. mid cap
Hold target is 3-10 years or longer.
I prefer these categories as they seem to have the most torque (in the right environment) albeit also the most risk.


Cheers,
Steve

Q: With the markets at all time highs, are there certain stocks you think people can scoop up or add to that have good growth opportunities at a reasonable price? I know 5i is not usually worried about buying companies at 52 week highs, but it is still something difficult for me!

Q: I own both Propel and Goeasy. Goeasy I've owned for quite some time, Propel I have been adding to slowly for the last 4 months. I would like to continue to own both. Would you balance the two out by selling some Goeasy to equal out the value of the two? If not, what sort of ratio would you suggest.

Q: Holding the following Financial sector stocks: BAM, BN, BNS, GSY, PRL, SLF, TD, X for a total of 20% in TFSA & RIF combined. Would like to reduce # of holdings to 5 or 6 and Financial % to about 15% . Your comments/suggestions/alternatives on the following setup would be appreciated:
RIF = HMAX, BAM, X
TFSA = BN, GSY (or BN, PRL or BN, PRL, GSY??)
As always, thank you for helping to provide clarity.

Q: Hi,
After carefully curating the Q&A over a period of time and posting questions, I put together these companies as my own personal 5i Small cap fund!
As of today this is where I stand:

GSY negative 8%;
LMN negative 11%;

HPS.A Positive 1.5%;
PAY Positive 7%;
PRL Positive 1.5%
TOI Positive 5.3%.

On the whole in terms of raw numbers, it is still positive.


For the new monies, would you add to these positions or suggest another small cap equity.
IF you were to add to these existing positions, in which order would you add.
I am a patient guy and willing to wait for a while. I was with you holding Knight Therapeutics for a long time! (Negative)
Also with you in energy sector (Positive) So, I know how this goes.

Thanks for all your answers.
