Investment Q&A

Q: They seem to have settled down. What are the expectations for this quarter? I have a small position and am wandering if I should add to it. Or wait till the end of this quarter.
Thanks John

Q: Happy new year to 5i team!

I own the companies listed above within TFSA in equal positions of 8-10% except KXS where I am at 3% position.
I will add 6K to TFSA in 2021
Option 1: Buy more KXS with new money
Option 2: Buy XBC with new money
Option 3: Sell REAL and buy both KXS and XBC

In your opinions which of above option has better growth potential

Q: Of the above stocks which would you feel is the best to add to our TFSA and why? Could you also rank them in order best first, in case I decide to add 2.

Second related question: LSPD, CTS, and DCBO are in a non registered account They could be moved over to the TFSA but am reluctant to do so because l have a capital gain on them, 200%, 60%, and 60%. LSPD would be a partial move due to its greater value.
Thanks for all your guidance and suggestions in the Q and A. The 3 above profits are a result of 5i.

Happy New Year to all.
John

Q: I asked a question before Christmas about trimming or dumping my above laggards which I haven’t seen an answer to.
Thanks

Q: Thanks for your very helpful and informative service. I have the following stocks in an RESP for three young grandchildren. Could you kindly suggest any of them that I should sell or add to along with three other names in order of preference which I could buy with new money. THX.

Q: I am going to sell one of these in my taxable account and rebuy it in my tax free account jan 2. Which one do you think has the best upside?

Q: Hello Team 5i,
I own the companies listed above within a TFSA
REAL is smallest holding at 11% of this account = approx 12k
I will add 6k to TFSA in Jan 21

I am considering four options
Keep REAL and BUY more REAL with 6k
Keep REAL and BUY more XBC, STC, ATA and/or WELL with 6k
SELL REAL and BUY NVEI with 18k
SELL REAL and BUY more XBC, STC, ATA and/or WELL with 18k

-sector allocation not a consideration
-transaction costs not a concern
-concentration (# of securities) within TFSA not a consideration

Your thoughts please?

All the best to all the people at 5i who provide such a wonderful service.

Q: Without looking at any other factors, which of the above 3 stocks have the best potential for growth over the next 6 months and your reason for that pick.
Thank you Ian

Q: Thanks to your excellent recommendations 2020 has been a record year for my family’s portfolio. Thank-You.
However, I feel like I need to consolidate some of the tech companies I own so when their prices rise I will have more torque. Which of the above companies would you suggest I merge, drop, or even add? Growth is my only objective.
Enjoy the holidays.

Q: what do you mean by" a transition in shareholder base" for Real? could it be that institutional sellers feel the stock has lost momentum or there is short term problems with the financial metrics? thanks for the clarification Richard

Q: After REAL's bad Q, should I continue to hold or would I get a better chance at quicker growth from NVEI? (I realize while both are Tech, services and markets are different)

Q: how many large Canadian and US banks and insurance companies use the services of Real and what are their names? who are Real's biggest competitors? what percent of revenues are in US funds v. CAD. thanks Richard

Q: For a 3- 5 year hold,please list the following companies,best first, for their potential to generate capital gains:bbtv,kxs,dnd,dcbo,real and nvei.Thanks.

Q: Would you average down ? if so what would you look for to do so? Thanks for great job

Q: The average P/E of my stock and ETF portfolio (63) reflects the tech/momentum binge I've been on since Spring 2020. I'm considerably overweight in tech yet I'm finding it difficult to jettison or trim any of my names in that sector. Can you please help by identifying 5 of these that you're less bullish on compared to the others? I have a reasonably long investment horizon and good risk tolerance (5 yrs until my children's post-secondary education and ~20 until retirement). Thanks again.

Q: I'm curious your thoughts on the threat Redfin presents to Real Matters. In Redfin's investor presentation they mention their "Title Forward" service is part of their long term goal to provide a "Complete Solution" to a homebuyer. Do you think RDFN will begin to eat REAL's lunch by being in contact with a buyer earlier in the home buying process?

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and team,

There are 8 stocks in my TFSA. REAL is 5% and LSPD also is 5% of the value of my TFSA. Which of the 2 stocks do you think I should buy more of?

A more broader question, is 8 stocks in a TFSA too many? Should I try to amalgamate to 5-6 stocks?

Thanks.

Q: KSX SEEMS TO BE SLIPPING A BIT. REAL MATTERS SLIGHTLY LOOKING LIKE A GOOD VALUE STOCK COMBINED WITH GROWTH WHICH ONE DO YOU THINK HAS THE BEST PROSPECTS 1 YEAR OUT

Q: what is the forecast EPS for 2021 for xbc well and real? if losses are projected has management forecast a future date when their respective companies might achieve profitably? thanks Richard

Q: Hi Team!

I have been picking away at Cargojet and Real Matters today and over the last few weeks. What would be a reasonable purchase price range going forward for these 2 stocks?

Based on some recent Q&A over the last month(s), you still seem to have a good opinion of them going into 2021 and beyond, once we get thru some potential tax loss selling.
Wrt CJ, e-commerce will potentially only strengthen post covid as people will have gotten used to purchasing online and thus deliverables is a necessity. In one answer you indicated CJ could/should increase EPS by 5x next year, thus my keen interest!
I have also owned DSG for years as a complimentary e-commerce play.

Wrt REAL, while their last quarter results may have disappointed a few, I'd prefer to take a longer term view out to 2022-2025. They have some interesting projects that should come to fruition by then and will likely have increased their market penetration as well. I also appreciate that they have been buying back shares the last several weeks as the stock drifted lower. Gives us a little bit more confidence that the recent quarter may have been a one time blip.

Cheers,
SteveMc
