Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi 5i, I'm struggling to keep the mentioned companies in the face of pending 25% steel and aluminum tarrifs. Would appreciate a review and some comforting analysis :)

One thing not talked about is the dollar impact on these companies which have US sales, and the potential benefit of monetary policy easing faster now that this tarrif nonsense has basically put on hold any investment in our industries.

My gut is telling me that our last year recession, masked by insane immigration, will become an official recession this year.

Thx

Q: Seen this stock drift down almost 20% in the last few weeks. I see they have earnings report in Mid March. Wondering if you have a good explanation for slide despite no obvious news. Not sure if it's tariff related. Your opinion of best of action. Eg Sell or wait for earnings report. Not a big fan of average down when rest of market is flat or going up. Thanks. Chris

Q: Hi Team,
With HPS.A struggling to catch a bid lately, would you think selling the stock to buy CLS is a good move long term? Is the movement in CLS share price sustainable? Or should more patience be applied here to HPS.A?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Hi 5i, enjoyed your webinar today. Thx for putting it together.

My question is on Canadian on small/mid caps, I've listed a few just to start with. Given the current environment what would be your ten highest conviction picks. I plan to hold for atleast 5 years, so I'm after safe business models that have a high chance of survival. If you list a stock not mentioned frequently on these boards then please provide a small blurb ast to why you like it. Thx again.

Q: Hammond Power has been drifting lower everyday and It looks like that the stock could soon break below, $98 support level, with US Tariffs confirmed making company's products exported to US, more expensive, increasing the risk of losing market share to its US based or competitors.

Is it prudent to be proactive and sell all holdings ( as of now we have about $15 gains ) or reduce by at least 50%, to avoid such scenario and revisit later, when there is more clarity/visibility ?

The proceeds may be held in cash, or could be used for 5i favorites like Terravest, Propel or Kneat.com, companies with strong momentum and none to minimal tariff issues. ( I am aware that these business are in a different sector altogether ). Thoughts ?

Thank You

Q: Hi,
Currently holding 2.46% position in HPS.A. With its larger revenue exposure to Canada and Mexico and impact of potential tariffs, does it make sense to diversify/trim and move some funds into POWL or PWR and which would you choose between the two currently? Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i,
With an eye to reduce some holdings how much overlap is there between these three?
After the recent "dip" how would you rank them?
Thank you so much

Q: Hi 5i, today on BNN a PM @ Donnville just commented on his view that Hammond will have capacity constraints even though they are expanding in Canada and Mexico. He stated that they would only be able to grow the topline by 10%, and at today's price it was expensive. Any views on this comment?

Thx.

Q: What would you do with the above 3 stocks if think less AI infrastructure will be needed? Take the money and run? Or did they fall enough that they will be ok even if some orders are lowered or cancelled?

Q: Greetings 5i Team,
I hold these securities in a TFSA and am looking to add a new position. At the same time, I will be trimming some of these as they have done very well.
Could you make a few suggestions for a new addition? Growth is the objective and diversification need not be overly considered (I am well diversified within other accounts).
Thank you for providing this great service.

Q: I have held HPS.A for a while and likely was late to the party. The recent recovery has helped and wondering if it's time to make the switch to TRI? Your recent responses seem to be very positive on TRI.

Thanks
