Q: What are your thoughts on STC . Low pe and positive earnings forecast. Would you view it as a buy at this time or are there other companies in the sector that you would prefer such as State Farm? Thanks for the analysis.

Q: I'm interested in Hammond and would like your input. They both seem very inexpensive but HPS has a larger dividend (and a higher P/E).
Do you like either right now? Prefer one over the other?

Q: Why are renewable stocks (such as BEPC, AQN, INE, BLX, etc.) so weak of late? Thanks. With all governments promoting renewable energy these stocks should be doing much better.

Q: Hello 5i Team
Using Nine Point Energy Fund as an example, when the company has three versions of a mutual fund (Series A, Series F and an ETF) how are the portfolios structured? Are the funds structured as three separate accounts (i.e. the portfolio manager purchases the same security in three separate accounts) or are the funds held in one common account (i.e. the portfolio manager purchases the a security in one account) and the returns/expenses calculated as proportional amounts?
Does either method have an impact on fees or the liquidity (using the example where the EFT version is smaller in value than the Series A or Series F) of the funds?
Thank you

Q: Good Day,
My current gold holding is BTO. Given the unrest in Mali I am contemplating a switch to a 50/50 split between KL and GCM. Your thoughts on this would be welcome.

Thanks.

Q: Can't stop, won't stop. Like 5i, I like momentum.

Thanks for the recommendation a while back. I'm approaching a double and position size is still reasonable at 3.5%. Is a top up to ~4-5% reasonable given the momentum and outlook or do you think it remains a bit too risky to increase position size? Note that I stop buying a position at 5% and let them run to 7-10% before trimming, so topping up to 5% would put ECN as my third largest holding after CSU and GSY.

Q: Hi Team,

I've been looking at DNTL. It seems they have a similar model to WELL, DOC and DND, in that as it appears their growth will largely come from aquisitions. I would think the dental industry would be a relatively stable business so, to me, looks like an interesting addition to my TFSA. Beside debt (for aquisitions), what are the main risks here? Is it too early for dip your tow in here? What are your general thoughts on the company.

Thanks

Dave

Q: Good Morning,
This a two part question: I currently hold a 2% position in SHOP and I'm considering adding to SHOP or starting a new position in LSPD. Which of the two would you recommend today?
Secondly- I've noticed in some of the questions you like TT for Industrials. I need to add another Industrial name, and was curious what is is about TT that makes it stand out from other names?
Thank You

Q: Hi !

I am looking to invest in perhaps just one of the above companies.
I learned the hard way about prioritizing the preservation of capital.
Would you tell me which of the above companies is best in terms of highest chance of capital being preserved?

While I am here, would be able to suggest three other companies that are both poised for greatness and offer an excellent capital preservation profile?

Thank you!
