Investment Q&A

Q: I am starting to think about what should I buy with the $6K I can add to my TFSA in January. I like growthy names, and currently have BYD, DSG, ENGH, KXS, LSPD, REAL SHOP, and WELL in my TFSA. I have a well diversified portfolio, so not worried about the sector.

I was thinking of NVEI, DND, or maybe Topicus. Or some of your US favourites: CRWD, U, VEEV, PLTR.

Can you suggest your 2 top favourites from Canada and the US for a TFSA for a long term hold.

Topicus is supposed to be trading on the TSX Venture exchange. Do you think that will limit investor interest? I decided a few years ago that one of my rules was never to buy anything on the Venture exchange. But maybe I will have to break that rule (I will get Topicus shares from the CSU spinout). What is your overall opinion of Topicus, and how would you rank it in terms of growth prospects and capital appreciation in relation to the stocks I have in my TFSA, and NVEI, and DND.

Thanks,
Paul

Q: Hi 5i
What does the complaint from Blue Yonder against Kinaxis look like to you? I don't know if there has been any clarification yet but my feeling from what I have read it seems Blue Yonder is tooting it's horn for publicity.
Anyway just wanted to thank you again and to all the members who make contributions with their questions and comments.

Q: INEO Tech (INEO-V) hopes to 'own' the front entrance of many stores by providing targeted  display ads, gathering demographic data, protecting store assets and by selling analytics data. While this sort of thing is not completely new, the company claims that their patented technology will displace the current theft protection competition, in some cases free of charge.  I'd appreciate your outlook for this company. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i team,
I recently purchased AC, which is in the balanced portfolio, and it has been going down in the past short while. I've a loss of about 20%. I'm thinking of selling it before year end for capital loss though I do not have capital gain this year to offset the loss. I intend to repurchase it after 30 days but wonder if its momentum will switch and moving higher in price in 30 days. Your opinion please. Thanks and a very merry Xmas to the entire team at 5i.

Q: Hello team,

Thanks to your suggestions, I am considerably up in tech. I bought lemonade awhile ago and am planning on selling tomorrow. I also own Crowdstrike and I am thinking of adding to my positions, although with the recent gains, I am thinking of maybe holding off. If you could please suggest a momentum growth stock that maybe hasn’t been getting attention lately, or if it is better to hold off till after tax selling in January. Love 5i! Thank you for service and Happy Holidays!!

Q: That was a fantastic Santa Clause rally.
Thank you to all at 5i and a Merry Christmas to all.

Q: Seasons greetings, everyone.

Question: I am trying to get my head around ENGH's eps expectations. Thomson Reuters has ENGH's 2021 consensus estimate at $1.75 with the high being $1.93. Thomson Reuters also has 2022 consensus estimate at $1.83 with the highest estimate being $1.99. However, on Scotia's ENGH report, they have their 2021 estimate at $1.95 and their 2022 eps estimate at $2.37, both higher than what Thomson says is the highest ENGH estimate. Any insight as to this inconsistency?

Also do you think consensus estimates or Scotia's 2021 and 2022 eps estimates will prove to be more accurate?

Lastly, what weighting would you be comfortable with, if you were presently building a position in ENGH?

Thanks.

John
