Q: Good day,
I realize and appreciate that you encourage investing and not trading. We have balanced / growth portfolio consisting of 5i covered companies for long term investments in our TFSA/ RRSP/ RESP accounts. However, we would love to find a multi bagger to pay for a Reno in two years rather then 15 years. We are only putting <$5000 at risk. We understand the risks and our small amount of risk money could be a zero or hero scenario. What would be your top three picks for a multi bagger in order of preference?
Thank you,
Kerri

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,

DNG announced drill results today. What do you think of those results and what are your thoughts in general about the company. It seems to be a nice company off of the radar with no analyst coverage.

Thanks

Q: I am interested in the explanation of Royalties. What is the model for companies and brands like A&W and others. What are the structures for payments to shareholders? Are they a percentage of sales or what are the Royalties payments based on.

Q: Dear 5I team,
I bought these ETFs about a year ago for purposes of diversification in my portfolio, which is based on your balanced portfolio {RSP}. I am down 12% in FEZ, 17% in VEE and 6% in VSP. Should I continue to hold, or cut my losses and reinvest elsewhere.
Thanks for your advice.

Q: Dear 5i
I read that PBH is one of your favourite companies . I`m seeing however that their ROE and ROA are quite low and the total debt relative to net income is quite high. The high debt to me would add a lot of risk unless the expected growth rate is quite high . Is this the case ?
Thanks

Q: Dear 5i,
I continue to watch ACQ and debate on initiating a position. Do you think this stock has found a floor and most of the risk is already priced in? I find it odd that approx 50% of it's dealerships are outside of Alberta and the stock has not participated in the recent rally and continues to decline. In previous answers you have said to give it 3 years. Excuse my lack of understanding. In three years do you expect ACQ to have recovered to it's previous prices/growth valuation or that the Alberta will have simply recovered and the stock price will start to move up in 3 years? Is it a buy at this time?
Thank you,
Kerri

Q: Wondering what you think of the latest report. They beat rev and eps but net income was down due to the US plant and USD debt. Their 2016 projections are consistent or above estimates for the year when you convert them back to CAD, since they are going to report in USD from now on apparently. Anyways, what do you guys think? Could it actually go up for once?
