Investment Q&A

Q: I currently own Sagicor and I'm thinking of swapping into Trisura (which I know you like). SFC pays a 6.1% dividend while Trisura seemingly pays no dividend. Or maybe I should sell half my SFC and put those funds towards TSU ?? Is owning both advantageous ? What do you think of these ideas and can you provide some insight into the reasons for any recommendation?

Q: Can you list five companies in your growth portfolio that you would add to at this time.

Thanks Steve

Q: hi, looking at your model growth portfolio, all these entities are down in share price. are they all a buy today? any a sell? any other growth equities in the portfolio you like better than these listed right now? and are there any CDN growth equities not in the portfolio you like better than these ( eg ?LMN etc. )

Q: Am retired with a cash account full of utilities, banks , pipes, reits, telecoms etc. for income. Over the last 6 months have added BN and GSY for more growth. Have targeted the following growth stocks for next purchase :

XIT : basket of CDN techs
LMN : a mini CSU
EQB : Stephen Smith involvement
TSU: speciality insurance
TCN : faster growing US south residential real estate

Your opinion of each would be appreciated. What is your order of buying based on valuation and growth potential ?
Thanks. Derek

Q: A number of the companies in your growth Portfolio have seen significant recent pullbacks. Specifically, DND, NVEI, TSU, TVE, TIXT and CTS. Would you consider these companies as Buy/Hold/Sell at current pricing?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Trisura pre-announced Q2 results and markets don't appear to like results....your thoughts on EPS announcement...in-line? with analysts, and why would they pre-announce???,,,,do you still like company...or should I settle down and wait for actual Q results on 10 August, thanks, jb

Q: Looking for a few stocks that have been beaten up that are good opportunities for rebound over the next 6 months...perhaps 3 canadian and 3 US...thanks.

Q: Please list companies in your portfolios that have returned in excess of 100% over the last 5 years.
Please also show their % returns.
Thank you.

Q: Hope you and the team (and readers) had a nice long weekend.

What looks “cheap” to you right now? I recognize that sometimes things are cheap for a reason. But in your view, what has been punished too much and likely to appreciate from here? 3m was one that I was considering as it is still down quite a bit and will recover in a better market (I assume—as everything seems to have its day). Thanks,

Jason

Q: Good day I have some extra funds to invest on an unregistered account, and looking at the above firms. Other positions in this account are all the Brookfields, DOO, GSY, KXS, TFII, CSU LMN, TOI, BYD, and DSG. Would you add these 2 or some others?

Q: Over the last 30 years my best investments by far have been with smallish to medium sized profitable businesses with good long term growth prospects that I have bought and held for 10+ years. Generally market caps of roughly $500 million Cdn. to around $5 billion Cdn. A few have generated 20, 30 times my initial cost. I am wondering about the prospects of each of these following companies producing those kind of multi-bagger returns over the next 10 or 20 years. Would you please rank these companies in order from 1 to 13 according to the likelihood that they will become another CSU, BYD, WSP, TFII, etc. that can be a big, big winner for a long term investor: ATS, ATZ, DOO, EQB, GSY, HPS.A, KXS, LMN, NVEI, TIXT, TOI, TSU, WELL. Admittedly, TOI is a little big at $8 billion market cap.

Secondly, are there any other Cdn stocks in this size range that you would say have that kind of big upside potential, and where would you place them in comparison to the above listed companies.

Q: Do you expect better growth from TSU or ATD?

Q: Hello,

Is it just me or is Trisura starting to have better price momentum? If the economy turns down in the second half, how much of an impact would it have on TSU’s incredible growth rate that they’ve had or are they largely immune?

Q: Of these three, why do you prefer SLF? Is MFC a close second? Thanks as usual.
