Q: Hi,
Looking to start a position in this group. All of these businesses seem very solid and their performance shows over time. How would you rank these based on future revenue and earnings growth, current valuations, high ROIC, largest moat, etc... Looking for a long term hold and best compounder 10+ yrs. Looking to buy the best one or two names. Thanks!

Q: I would like to build a position in the industrial services sub-sector. Could you identify your favs [CAD/US] for 3-5 year hold [I have named a few, but look to you for those in which you have the most conviction] and rank according to (a) safety in a recession and (b) compounders for long-term growth. What makes them stand out?
Thank you..

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i!!
I have hit the breakeven point with ICE and am thinking of selling it and buying another more growthy US holding. This is in my TFSA. I was thinking of adding it to my Microsoft. shares. I have Nvida already. Could you suggest any other US stocks? Would you consider keeping ICE??

Cheers,

Q: I am interested in investing in China. I recently read that the Bill Gates fund recently opened a position in CAF, Morgan Stanley China fund. I was wondering why his fund managers would do this rather than simply buy an index fund, such as MSCI. I was wondering whether you might be able to cast some light on this question
thanks as always for the great service

Q: I bought MSCI in 2018 mostly for its recurring revenue and ability to set its prices. It has been a steady grower. Do you expect this to continue or has it reached a plateau? Does it have meaningful competition yet? If I sell to buy an ARK fund, am I taking on a lot more risk? Thank you. Hi, I just asked a Q about MSCI. Another option I am considering is to sell MSCI to buy MCO to capture some higher growth that may happen in this investing climate. Should I switch or hold steady? Thanks.

Q: These stocks are somewhat different [financials and commercial services]. For a long-term investment, please advise top 2 for growth with rationale. Since all are priced for perfection, would plan to initiate positions only.

Q: hi, what is your opinion of MSCI?
It has a very enviable ROE (90+%) and the Profitability Ratios (all taken from your site) look very respectable.
PE might be a little high.
The ROE is generally the starting point for me to be interested in a stock (right or wrong :)).
Would you consider them the leaders in their respective space/sector? It seems like it might be a stock for good times and bad times.
(I stumbled upon this from a recent BNN suggestion/recommendation).

Cheers,
Steve
