Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi team, I have a couple of questions.

First, looking into an unseen future, what are the odds of DOL and ECN being acquired? And which companies would be interested in acquiring them?

Second, I am looking to buy MG but I don't have any free cash available. Would need to sell one of my tech holdings.(CSU, SHOP, KXS, LSPD) My gut tells me to sell KXS.
Would like to get a second opinion.

Thank you.

Q: The other day Brad was asking about the current trend of shifting to value and a concern with rising rates & inflation, and wondered whether it would good to lighten up on growth stocks. The 5I answer covered a number of points and suggested adding sector diversification or balancing out with some value stocks. and that “high grading” things a little might be prudent. Although I like the sector diversification they offer, if I wanted to do some “high grading”, would I want to move out of these 3 names? They have been increasing in value ( by the way, I came to consider them because of 5I, so thanks). Or do you see them as being sufficient "grade" to continue to hold? hank you for your excellent service.

Q: For a stock price to double in 5 years requires an average gain of about 15% compounded, annually. Would you please rank these 12 stocks in order for the likelihood, in your opinion, they will double in price in the next 5 years. Roughly how many of these 12 would you expect to achieve that target? Assuming no major long term market melt down which would preclude good stock performance over this period.

Q: Similar question to the one I asked yesterday. This is regarding some small/medium sized consumer and consumer-related type Canadian stocks. How would you feel about holding each of these stocks in your portfolio, on a 1-10 scale, with a 10 being you definitely want the stock in your portfolio, a 1 being a stock you want no part of, and a 5 being a stock you are basically indifferent about. As part of broadly diversified portfolio, looking for total return over the next 5+ years, comfortable with risk. ACQ, AW.UN, DOO, ECN, GOOS, HTL, LNF, MTY, SIS, SVI, ZZZ.

Q: I would appreciate an update on this company(ECN) in terms of your projections over the next 2 years. Revenue growth, expected profit and EPS and other metrics you consider important. Also any developments within the company and also in its sector, positive or negative , that could influence the shares. In essence how do you view this company over the next couple of years? And based on this analysis where do you see the share price going based on reasonable multiples of your projections?
Thanks.

Q: From a value/ risk perspective what are your thoughts on the following rebalancing.
Move GSY from 4.65% of the total equity to 3%.
Then move ECN from 1% to 2.7%.
ECN is a recently initiated position.
Basically a partial switch.
