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: 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

Q: Hi 5i:
It appears Caldwell Partners is now looking to utilize the capital markets to grow by issuing some stock in an acquisition valued about US$11M with today's purchase of a high growth US AI tech firm in talent search. Do you think the market will begin to look differently at CWL going forward given the tech angle which would allow the stock to trade at higher revenue multiple then 30% of sales it has traded at for the past many years while being profitable and debt free.

Q: Hi,
Is it a good time to start a position in ENGH? Half or full position? Long term hold in registered account.

Also, would you have some buy recommendations / favorites for mid to large cap names. 4 to 5 names, no specific sectors, 10 year+ hold. Thank you.

Best wishes to the team for the holiday season!
