Investment Q&A

Q: Hello 5i,
First of all, I wold like to thank you for the "Five from 5i" in general, but specifically the "Is Inflation Higher Than We Think" article - a great read!!
Secondly, pertaining to the article about the fee reductions for some Vanguard ETF's, I notice that VIG is there, but not VGG. Would VGG receive any benefit from the VIG fee reduction, given that it isn't specifically mentioned. (unless it was there, and I missed it - always a very real possibility....)
Thirdly, I am looking for some current recommendations for my grandchildrens' RESP's. Their ages are 5 - 7 yrs. old. One Family RESP holds BN (up 112+ %) and the other holds VGG (+73+ %). I went through the existing RESP questions, but given the current volatility and market uncertainty, I thought I would ask for your current favourites, given the foregoing. I certainly like many of the options given in previous questions, but I feel that the environment is slightly different now than it was several months ago.
As always, thanks so much for the awesome service!!!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Is Vitalhub considered a SAAS company? If so is this a possible reason for decline or is there another cause.
Matthew

Q: Hello
Could you please clarify as in some answers recently, the response has been to buy the stock , Vitalhub but the last response was to hold. Here is an analyst view as of today's globe , "Mr. Tse also singled out VitalHub Corp. (VHI-T +3.10%increase
, “outperform” and $16 target) as being a “potential upside surprise” during earnings season.

“We believe the company has been conservative with its margin outlook given its record of surfacing synergies post acquisitions,” he said. “We see upside potential to EBITDA in either the following results and/or forward-looking outlook.”Mr Tse is National Bank Analyst.

The view seems to buy VHI. Can you please clarify?

Thank you for letting me ask this question

Q: Hi Team,
I hold VHI in my tfsa, down 20% now. Would it be considered a "high grade" move to sell it now and buy CSU now that it is also down as much or more than VHI in the last year? Would my return prospects from here with CSU be just as high as compared to sticking with VHI? Would you advise this move?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Greetings,

Pondering on buying VHI but concerned about the supposed buyback yield of -Minus 20%

1. Does that mean 20% more shares introduced ? eek! Alarm bells or not?
2. Implications going forward? Your most recent comment was sell (is that still correct?)
4. Buy at what sort of price?
5. Insider ownership is at 10%

What to do?
Cheers

Q: I am below 2% weighting in each of these companies and would like to sell one or possibly two to increase my weightings. Considering a 3 to 5 year time frame what would you sell first and what would you add to first? Please rank with some if your thoughts. Thanks. ram

Q: Hello Team,

Q: Looking at total return on a 3 to 5 year hold, how would you rank these companies (highest first)

Q: Since reaching an ATH a few months ago, the stock has been trending downward. Can you provide some of the reasons for this decline.
Much appreciate your service.

Q: Hi Peter and team,

Our Healthcare sector is under-represented according to Portfolio Analytics. We do own VHI and are down, but most of what I read indicates a compelling case for VHI. As an example, National Bank Direct Brokerage rates it as outperform. Its current position is 0.76% of our Total Portfolio Equity Weight, and our only other sector holding (other than some diversified ETFs) is SIA with a Total Portfolio Equity Weight of 3.34%.

Would you be a buyer at current levels?

As always, thanks for your insight.

Q: I am down on these two companies in my TFSA, and am thinking of selling in favor of another Canadian growth company. I already own ELVA, FTG, GRID, KITS, PNG, VNP and ZDC. Which would you add to, or do you suggest adding another growth company.

Q: I forgot to put in Canadian in my question that you responded to today. Rephrased - What are your top 10 Canadian small caps. Please put your response in the order you would buy them for the largest total gain (dividend and capital gain) over the next two years.

Q: Having erroneously believed that momentum runs in a straight line, I purchased both of these equities in a 'new' account, earlier in the year, near their lofty heights. Are either of both considered a reasonable candidate for a tax loss sale? To be re-purchased a month or so later per your recommendation?

Q: I receive DKAM quarterly newsletter. These 5 stocks (MDA,PRL,VHI, ZDC and E) they are high on for various reasons for 2026. If you agree, which ones should I add to my TFSA and why?

James

Q: I’m only interested in Canadian compounders. Compounding companies that are mid to large cap that I am invested in are CSU, TOI, LMN, TFII, and ATD. Can you recommend 5-10 possibilities for 5-10 year compounders in the Canadian small cap space?
