Investment Q&A

Q: Any news on the welcomed sharp rally the last few days the last few days,Txs for u usual great services & views

Would you add to an existing position in any of these ? I know you generally frown upon averaging down but if you would in what order ?
Thanks again
Mike E

Q: 1.5% position,P/P $18.77 down 22.8%. Reports Q2 Apr 28,& worried as missed last 2 Qs resulting in sharp decline.Add,Hold or Sell? Pleas comment.Thanks for u usual great views & services.

Q: Hello, I need to liquidate some of the stocks listed. Disregarding sector diversification, in what order should I do this? Thanks for your help.

Q: I have a difficult time differentiating what each of these companies do for lawyers and lenders. How much actual overlap/competition is there?
I see there has been a fair bit of public market selling by REAL directors but then some buying late last week. How large is REAL insiders holdings commitment today compared to the last 5I report?
If there is any overlap/competition of services or perhaps synergies would it make sense for DND to acquire REAL if they could swallow it? Is DND, at 2X REAL’s market cap, large enough to acquire REAL?

Thank You
Clarence

Q: As the price of REAL drops would you consider this factor putting the company in play for a takeover? I am thinking of starting to buy into a position now that it is low fourteens and would like to hear your thoughts. This is a profitable debt free company which nobody seems to like and is priced like it has low growth future. Generally I do not bottom feed but I am intrigued.

Q: What would be your thoughts on swapping REAL for EGLX today?

Q: Any news on REAL? It has only one, which unfortunately is down for 8 months. It's basically at the same level since last February, while the real estate market it's booming. Something doesn't add up

Q: I’m adding to a partially established portfolio (growth-oriented, long-term). I’m interested both in taking advantage of the recent tech downturn (although not too much, as I’m already somewhat tech-heavy) and in further diversifying. Two questions:

1. I own partial positions in the following securities and am looking to add more. Could you rank them in your order of preference for purchasing now? Any you’d avoid buying now?

WELL, SHOP, ATZ, STC, PHO, ENGH, KXS

2. I’m considering buying positions in the following new securities (not easily comparable, I know), with a view to diversity and growth, as well as US exposure. Could you rank them in order of preference for purchasing now? Any you’d avoid buying now?

BNS, SLF, PLC, MG, LAC, REAL, TFII, NVDA.US, ROKU.US, SQ.US

Thanks for your great work and please feel free to dock me for two questions.

Q: Looking for a Canadian company with great growth prospects that may be 'unloved' today. From a pure growth perspective, how would you rank the three for a new position today?

BBTV and REAL don't (yet) seem to be getting much mention on Reddit and other forums that I follow - indicating to me that there may be an opportunity on top of growing fundamentals?

Q: Hi 5i team,

Any thoughts on how far this trend of selling tech or renewables will continue? Looks like NASDAQ is now negative ytd with many of your Canadian techs down 20+ percent ytd.

When would you seriously start putting floor bids on the favs like CSU, KXS, LSPD, WELL, REAL, SCR, and XBC? If you could put in dollar amts for each it would also be great.

Thx

Q: REAL down significantly this year snd just keeps dropping. They say the trend is your friend and the trend tells me to sell. At what price would you just throw in the towel on this laggard.!
Thanks for your help,
Steve

Q: Are REAL and RKT in the same business? I see that RKT is up 100% this week (largely due to a short squeeze and special dividend), but wondering if they are similar? What is REAL's valuation and growth prospects? Would you buy today?

Q: Hello,
I already own these stocks. I am doing some selling / trimming / buying and would appreciate your comments:
DSG - I did well. Exposure at the high end but ok. How confident are you in the name for the next few years? If sold partially, I would allocated to KXS of TIXT. Your thoughts?
TOY - Do you like it more with momentum as of late? Decent long term hold or good time to sell at these level?
REAL - I am down about 25% but small position. I was thinking of adding at these level (or sell since position not big enough). It would be a long term hold. Your thoughts?
NFI - Hold or sell?
Fortis - Would you add at these level?
Thank you,

Q: In your opinion, which of these two could have better growth for a TFSA?

Q: I am really under water on REAL right now.Should I sell and replace with another tech and if so which one
Thank you -Al

Q: May I please have your opinion on REAL. It has not performed well recently as you know. What is your expectation in their upcoming quarter. Is more competition from the USA something one should be worried about. Sincerely Joseph.

Q: Real Matters has experienced weakness in the last few months (as most of your readers know).

But in the past week, there was a gap down and I think it has more to do with their competitive position in the market related to the pending merger between CoStar and Corelogic (which I would think is Real Matters competition). What do you think about this? Do you know if this will have a material change in their ability to gain market share in the Appraisals business?

Q: Do you think it would be a better idea to maintain a position in REAL or to initiate a position in TOI?

Thanks.

Q: In a well diversified portfolio, I am considering selling BMO, CU, PHO, REAL, and SJR.B and buying AT, BYD, DOO, DSG and VII. Would you agree with this approach? What would be order to sell and order to buy?
