Investment Q&A

Q: Do you recommend any Canadian small cap tech or industrial companies that are worthy of a small starter position? Could be US if that request is too narrow. Thanks!

Q: What order would you place these for buying right now...and maybe a bullet point as to why or why not for each? Many thanks!

Q: What would be your top 10 Canadian stock picks now, maximum market cap $10 billion, long term hold. Thanks.

Q: Good recent Q&A on this one (revenue projection, valuation, etc.).

If the tech sector were to plunge in a somewhat similar manner as the Tech bust (2000), is there an example of a company with a market cap comparable to NBIS at that time that initially dropped in sympathy, but was able to recover quicker than the over all sector because of good execution?

Do you have faith in the projected revenue growth of NBIS? Do we know how reliable Arkady Volozh's vision is on this company? I suppose his 25 years of leading Yandex counts for something (?)

Q: Good day! Many thanks to 5i providing a rudder (and sometimes an anchor) on this rollicking journey.

I have been slowly accumulating CNR for the past couple of years and am now considering whether CP is better positioned over the next decade. I am currently down 8%.

Can I get 5i’s opinion on CN vs CP given each company’s
-past performance,
-quality of management,
-valuations,
-EPS growth projections
-CAN-US trade gyrations
-any other material factors

Thank you!

Q: What do you think of its acquisition of The Reject Shop in Australia.?

Q: Can you comment on CF, EPS, sales, growth on the 4th Q and full year just reported today. Would you rate it a buy sell or hold after hitting a new high.

Q: Hi 5i, First thanks for the quick feedback on Wells filing delay. I too thought it had marginal impact. However an analyst from RBC put this out:

“The current situation suggests management may have overlooked certain aspects of the complexity. Until we receive further clarity, we include a 50-per-cent contribution of Circle Medical in our valuation ($68-million, or $0.27/sh) and have also adjusted our valuation to reflect the current market conditions.”

Seems pretty inflammatory, can you help me understand where he gets 50-per-cent contribution?

Thx again

Q: I have lots of interest income and I know, although the money is 100% safe, I am paying top tax dollar. Do you have safe dividend alternatives to suggest??

Q: Is this an opportunity to enter a position (on big selloff today) given your positive opinion of the company? What would be your weighing if you owned this stock in a well diversified portfolio?

Q: Peter and His Dream Team
WELL just reported significant services increase for 2024 yet the stock is down 20%. Your assessment please. Are we getting close to the bottom? Thank you as usual.

Q: Is there news on LMN, The market including CSU decline a lot while LMN advancing . Thanks a million.

Q: Good Day,

I'm a current holder of NVDA. These other names are down 30 - 50%, and IF one were to want to add another of these, what order would you rank them, highest to lowest? Can you please comment a bit on each one including a good price target to buy at, expected growth rates, and, as much as your crystal ball can predict Agent Orange, How much more downside would you anticipate in this space this year? Will solid performing companies eventually just perform their way out of these dips in spite of him? Or will multiple compression from uncertainty continue to plague the markets until he's out of office/gets reined in?

Secondly, on the broader market, with next weeks tarriffs looming, would you trim a few positions, even if they were on position sizes that matched your size/risk profile, to have some extra powder dry for the anticipated overreaction? It feels like so much uncertainty is "priced in", but most things still drive lower when the event that was priced in happens.

Q: WELL issued a release about problems with CircleMedical, a subsidiary. They are delayed in filing their financials which has caused WELL to be late. Can you explain the release and what it means/impact to WELL. How serious is this? What do you see the end result being? Would this change your favourable view of WELL?

Q: Does Propel have any benefit of Cdn$ costs versus US$ sales and are tariffs a material issue?

Q: I have heard advisors say that private credit (MICs like maybe Capital Direct) can be considered as part of a portfolio’s fixed income allocation. Would the same thing apply to publicly traded MICs such as Atrium, Mcan etc) as the distributions they pay out are considered interest income.
