Investment Q&A

Q: What are your top picks right now? Would you include recent laggards such as lulu, hps, doo or Pbh among them?

Q: With the tsx dropping over the last few weeks and valuations adjusting for companies you like. What would be your top 3 Canadian and top 3 US names that you would start a position in, if buying today for the long term? Thx

Q: Hi, All above stocks have been beaten down over past few weeks, after a strong run. They are now trading at much lower valuations compared to their larger industry peers in Canada and US. Power Infrastructure, Construction, Industrial and Banking sector have been in a steady uptrend for most of this year and growth is expected to be solid in the foreseeable future.

Just wondering, if they are simply following the trend in US markets where small caps continue to lag the market. What are your thoughts and do you see the trend reversing anytime soon ?

On a different note, ADF Group stock is now trading below $17.31 ( price at which the owners sold some shares recently } and Terravest trading below the recent secondary at $74.25. Some investors seem to be freaking out ?

Thank You

Q: Hi, Hammond Power stock is now tracing back to the levels, traded at, two quarterly earnings ago, down to $98, from a high of $160, not long ago. Apparently, the sell off was caused by some stock compensation concerns and profit taking. From business, operations and financial perspective, company seems solid and stock, now trading at a low valuation of 16/17 times forward earnings ( I believe ). With power/electricity consumption and infrastructure demand , expected to multiply exponentially ( AI/Data Centres etc ) over several years, market for company's speciality transformers should continue to be strong with a long runway of growth.

Analysts are still quite bullish on the co. with price targets ranging from $156 to $167.

So, in your opinion, what could be the basis of the continued weakness in its stock price ?

Do you believe that stock will be higher, say 50%, in 2-3 years from now and should be bought/added aggressively at these depressed levels ?

Thank You

Q: Would you be a buyer of Hps.a at these lower levels?
Or wait for possibly further decline?

Q: HPS is dropping like a stone again. Any new ? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi 5i, I have the following stocks (NVDA CSU LMN HPS.A BN XDIV RY CNQ JPM BRK.B VDY ENB) equally distributed in my rrsp, these stocks are generating 75% of my dividend-income goal. What changes would you suggest to get the last 25% , I do not mind selling my gold-stocks (the first 3) , but I would prefer to keep them. Hope it makes sense. Thank you 5i.

Q: Why big drop this morning (Monday) ? Thanks a million.

Q: Hello,

For 5 yr+ hold would you consider HPS total return would exceed MG total return?

Thank you

Q: Hello 5i team, HPS.A is currently down 32% since I bought in. What are your outlooks on HPS in the future? I was planning on a long-term hold.

Q: Hi, currently holding CSU 5.17%, LMN 4.86%, and TOI 1.8%. Have nice gains in all. Looking to trim some CSU and LMN and add to TOI. Would you be comfortable with this move at this time considering each of their fundamentals and valuations? Which do you think has the longest runway for growth and how would you rank them for a 5-10 yr hold.

Also, I have TVK 1.79%, HPS.A 2.02%, PRL 1.41%, WELL 1.91%. No position in DRX (how would you look to avg. into this name?). How would you rank these if you were to add to these positions currently? When looking to add, are you mainly looking at the valuation and fundamentals or does the avg. cost and % return factor into that as well? For example, my HPS.A is up 60% and PRL up 4%, does this factor into your decision of which one to add to or does it not matter and we should just consider the forward return potential? Thanks!

Q: Hi guys,

I have the above in my portfolio at 2.5%, please rank them as to moving them into a FULL position (4%).
thanks
Jim

Q: When the clock strikes midnight,Cinderella turns back to herself,but the Prince got her slipper, found her and happiness therafter.Both Great darlings,Hps.a & Cls have recently retreated from their highs,Shameful that I do not have a postion,so please advise good entry points. If I can only have one,which do U prefer? Txs for U usual great advices & services

Q: I currently have small positions in both of the above and want to consolidate. Which do you suggest I sell to buy the other. I have gains on both but taxes not a factor. Longer term investor here, just don't want small positions.

Q: There has been lots of good discussion about these 6 stocks on your forums section over the last year BDT, DRX, GSY, HPS.A, PRL, VHI. All have been big winners. Do you think they are still promising investments at current prices?

Q: Can you please list in order your top 5 Canadian and top 5 US stocks in order based on conviction? Please also list a management rating, 10 being the highest.
Time frame 5+ years
Thanks

Q: Which stock would have the most growth going forward- HPS.A, STN,TIH,TVK? Please rank them.

Thanks for your service

Q: Hi there - it looks like a pretty decent sell off in HPS over the last few days. At what price would an attractive entry point be for a long term hold? Thanks!

Q: I have been eyeing these companies for some time now, regretting not pulling the trigger when first on my radar. I am now questioning the debt level of TVK; does this cause any concern on your part? As for Hammond Power, do you think there is any more room for gains, or has it pretty much hit the wall and is fairly valued?

Q: Any reason for the big price decline today ( Tuesday )? Thanks a lot
