Investment Q&A

Q: thought on the quartr please?

Thx

Q: Hi Peter,

In response to Robert’s question of Nov 10 regarding your thoughts on what folks will wish they had done before interest rates start going back up, you said “…we would reduce very expensive growth stock exposure…”

My 24 year-old has a concentrated, strongly growth-oriented TFSA (at least 10+ yr investment horizon). He’s comfortable in holding higher weightings and “letting the winners run” of those companies that seem to have “staying power”, recognizing that there will be inevitable periods of under performance in their stock performance from time to time (LSPD, for example) but that over the “long-term” they should produce attractive returns. The growth stocks that have done well for him so far include:

GSY (+434% return/16% portfolio weighting)
LSPD (+432%/9%)
KXS (+161%/15%)
TOI (+42%/12%)
HUT (+103%/6%)

He also has the following growth stocks that (so far) have been less than stellar:

AT (-39% return/4% portfolio weighting)
MAGT (-29%/3%)
NVEI (-10%/4%)
WELL (-1%/7%)

Which of the above would you consider “very expensive” and reduce exposure to, regardless of current weightings? In general, aside from personal risk tolerance/comfort levels, how do you determine by how much or to what level, you would reduce “very expensive” holdings to versus simply “letting the winners run” over the long-term? Which of the above stocks that are currently in the red would you reduce exposure to given this is a TFSA (no tax loss benefit if selling for possible later buy-back) - rather than riding out (potential opportunity cost) what is hopefully just the volatility inherent in growth stocks and a period of under-performance (of indeterminate length, admittedly) - assuming no changes in the investment thesis and fundamentals of these companies and the long-term investment horizon.

Thanks, as always, for your insightful help.

Q: Hello 5i
I believe this company is a SPAC which will give me one-for -one with WEJO when the merger takes place. I got tangled up on the spac/lawyers details. If I in fact bought VOSO shares am I in fact buying into WEJO?
Cheers,
Rick

Q: Should investors be concerned about the current valuation of most companies in the stock market? Investors like Michael Burry have been warning about the consequences of overvaluation in the markets. Thanks

Q: Is Svm worth holding

Q: In a TD report on XBC q3 the following comment is made, "Notably, our EBITDA estimate did not include the $5.3 million in severance incurred during the quarter as it was not contemplated in our forecast."

$5.3 million in severence for a company the size of XBC seems high to me. This occurred following the new COO hire.

Wondering if you could shed some light on this. Was there a cleaning of the house following the financial troubles announced earlier this year?

Q: This company has not yet gone to market; but, will in the next few months apparently? I believe it is a USA company - maybe Canadian doing business in USA/Canada? DKAM is very high on it and provided capital and will buy when stock issued. DKAM is a highly regarded Canadian firm.

Q: Thinking of starting a position in Dol.Ca. What would be a reasonable entry point? What are your 3 favourite stocks in this space? Thank you as always.

Q: Have owned this stock for a while and at a loss of 77%. I keep thinking, when covid is no longer a problem, it should pick up as entertainment venues will start happening . They will want the security that Patriot One Thechnologies can provide. What are your thoughts and should I keep holding or move on. Thanks.

Q: I have shifted some funds from Cap and inter-rent reits to Boardwalk. My thinking is that alberta seems poised for more rent growth near-midterm with the recovery in AB and a still depressed relative valuation at BEI. What do you think of this move? And what did you think of boardwalks recent results? Thanks

Q: Hi team
My question is about the results of bmo in the last quarter. They show earnings of $ 3.41, how much of that is a reversal of provisions on bad debt?, If they target 40-50 % of earnings to the dividend, the increase would be rather large, depending how much they put towards buybacks, something that I never liked.

Thanks

Q: When the 2009 financial crisis hit, governments used significant fiscal stimulus which set off a huge bull market.
My questions are:
1) how many years of a bull market was this responsible for?
2) should we expect a similar bull market duration from the 2020 market crash and resulting stimulus due to Covid?

Q: I want to clean up a US account with 1/4 positions in these three companies. I want to sell two and use the funds to increase the position in the third. Please rank the three companies for growth over the next three years or longer.

Q: Hello 5i team

Isn't CAE's debt too high? It will be around 4x once the last Sabre Aircentre transaction is completed in the first three months of 2022. I want to take a position right now but this makes me cautious.

Thanks

Q: If you owned CIX, would you sell and buy which of CPX and H. Please provide rationale behind your recommended approach.

Q: What do you think of hertz as an opening play

Q: I know you like all of the above. As you look through2022 (so 12-18 month horizon) how would you rank each of the 3 stocks on a scale of 1-10 - and what relevant significant opportunity/risks do each face.

Thanks,

Terry

Q: Hello, I own equal amounts in ATD.B. DOL, WSP, TFII, ATA and NVEI. If you were to sell 2-4 and replace them with higher growth stocks like LSPD, GSY, BAM.A, or DND, without taking into account portfolio weighting, what would you do?

Thanks,

Q: Why has the share price for Trisura been dropping after posting a good quarter results?
What is the outlook for the next 2 to 3 years?

Q: Once we receive the dividend from ECN would you recommend using the funds to purchase the shares of ECN, why or why not?

Thanks for your service!
