Investment Q&A

Q: You've mentioned a few times that TVK has higher debt levels. Generally I would take a pass on high debt but did buy some a while back and have done okay. Is there reason to be concerned by the level of debt today? Under what scenarios would it be a problem, and what are your thoughts on the likelihood of those scenarios?

Thanks.

Q: Terravest stock seems to be losing its lustre as a reliable compounder. Over past year, Co has not displayed much consistency with its earnings. One quarter is good then the next is not so much. Tariffs continue to haunt its prospects for growth and profitability.

Management has done well on acquisition front, but debts also continues to rise.

Stock has been in 5i portfolio for many years and has done well.

How many quarters, in your view, it could take for the Co to generate more confidence with investors ?

Thank You

Q: Please comment on Terravest earnings/guidance.

Is it a buying opportunity ?

Thanks

Q: What to do with $10864 in TFSA? At 74 years I exist on a public sector DB pension.

Transitioning my TFSA to be more growth focused. 14 holdings currently, major ones being BN, TRI, TFII, TVK, KXS, TOI, EQB, LMN, DSG, PNG, DRX, REAL, S, EGLX. Also have 41 equities in much larger balanced dividend growth non-reg account but Brookfield Group is pushing 15% of total portfolio with overall 65% Canada exposure. Overall below sector targets in consumer cycle, health, RE, Industrial, Utilities as well as International exposure.

Realizing you cannot get personal but I am looking for another viewpoint on how to use the funds in TFSA this year besides adding more Brookfield or software or financials. With available funds could only add 4 units of CSU anyway.

Q: Good day,

Wild few days in the market. As a stroke of luck, I transferred one of my managed accounts over so I could manage it myself, and that sale happened early last week and it is sitting in my account, ready to deploy. As a lucky tailwind, I don't want to squander it. Mostly in RRSP account.

Would you be adding to CLS, BAM, SHOP, TVK, PNG, ZDC right now? In order of priority please with a small 'why'.


I had purchased some AEM 1-2 years ago (great recommendation, thanks), and it has flown. Is it an add now and/or are there other Materials tickers you would suggest? Doesn't have to be precious, as long as they are executing well and have quality assets and a solid runway. maybe 1-2 each for precious, critical, and non-precious?

I sold TOI last summer, and with this crazy "Software off" cycle here, would you start accumulating? like 20 or 25% of a position? Is TOI the most likely candidate to return to its growth trajectory when the world begins to appear normal again?

Thanks for Everything!

PS. While looking at all my statements while transferring over to Questrade for their cashback promotion, my statements had my annualized returns calculated over 1 3 5 and inception. Since inception was 21% which I'm staked about, but my 3 year annualized was 43% !!! I just renewed my 4th year with 5i. Thanks Thanks THANKS!

Q: I have small amounts of these growth stocks balanced by dividend payers, and broad market etfs. If you were to reduce this list by streamlining it, which stocks would you eliminate and why?

Q: Everyone, On December 9th, i asked a question on multi baggers and you supplied the list stated above. I am now deciding - What rationale do i use to pick from the list? Is it 5 or 10 and which 5 or 10? My thought is to choose them all. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Clayton

Q: I forgot to put in Canadian in my question that you responded to today. Rephrased - What are your top 10 Canadian small caps. Please put your response in the order you would buy them for the largest total gain (dividend and capital gain) over the next two years.

Q: Everyone, i never understand what will make a multi bagger until one has already happened. What would you consider the characteristics of a multi bagger and what stocks do think will make that list in 10 or 20 years from now? Clayton

Q: Hi, do you have a preference between these two? They are both well off their 52 week highs. I realize tax loss selling has probably contributed to this and/or they are just small caps caught up in the out of favour market sell off. Would you own both or consolidate into one? Or do you have another small cap preference to these two? I already own PNG and ZDC.

cheers....
