Q: Hi,
Steve asked about accessing info on stocks hitting a new high. The Canaccord Genuity morning coffee news letter often lists stocks hitting new 52 week highs and lows. It’s free and is e-mailed and daily.
Thanks,
Kerri

Q: Just a comment based on Darcy’s question on March 7.

While anyone who is invested in stocks based on the balanced equity portfolio, which I suspect is plenty, my own experience is to recommend patience.

Remember when GC was recommenced and then shortly thereafter the news came out about the money laundering. Stock tanks and the natural reaction was panick. Thanks to 5I I held firm and am looking at 60% gain.

I buy the dips, and for the most part, am very pleased, with the BEP.

Thanks team!

Q: Do you have an opinion about buying either of these at this time? Based on the company numbers you post here, the div yield is about the same but P/E is a bit lower on CNQ. Does the fact that SU is more vertically integrated help or hinder with future corp/stock growth? Do you see either co having a stronger financial position?
I wouldn't mind some capital appreciation but the yields are attractive and I'm thinking that the div is safe with both cos. To me, neither co likely has big upside but they both seem to trade in a somewhat narrow range and given current yields and where the prices are, is either a better buy now or would you hold off for lower prices yet?
Thanks
Ralph

Q: Hi, I see that Knight is at a two year low. I like the company for it’s conservative ways, comfort if recession hits, and large cash position. (Has it ever given a one time special dividend while waiting?). I will be buying more in the near future.
Is now a good time to buy or would you wait and if it hits the low RSI ,as momentum is weak? I have a 4% position
Thanks,

Q: I am considering swapping SPB for PKI. I bought SPB for income and hopefully some growth 2 years ago and not going anywhere. PKI has less yield but increased dividend in the previous 6 years. Also more diversification with potential for better growth. Your thoughts?

Q: When answering Scott's question about the lightspeed IPO you said Shopify is 10X sales. On the 5i's website under companies it says SHOP is 55X sales and on Yahoo finance it says 25X sales on the TSX and 19X in the US.

Can you tell me where these discrepancies come from? It makes it difficult to compare companies. Is it best just to do the math yourself?

Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i team,
I do appreciate you going into the usa to recommend a stock. I am trying to reconcile/understand your Micron (MU) recommandation at your latest appearance on BNN (Peter on feb 20th). It seems like MU is rarely (not so often) listed in your more and more frequent lists of recommended usa stocks (am I wrong?). Are the criteria, risk profil or time horizon different for your BNN appearances then your Q&A? More specifically, would you consider MU a long term hold or more a cyclical hold (meaning sell/underweight at certain portion of the economic cycle)?
Thank you for your collaboration,
Eric

Q: These all in ones are marketed as simple, low cost, well diversified ETF’s. There are no historical performance results to consider however. I’m considering for very long term hold in pension accounts.
Your thoughts on these products and type of investing strategy they best fit.
Appreciate your feedback.
