Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I owned GIB.A, DSG,TOI,LMN,NVDA,DCBO and would like to know if there is an overlap between any of these stocks or do they have their own unique business so all should be owned? I am trying to decide if I should reduce the numbers of tech stocks as I currently have 27 stocks and have read that best to have around 20-25 stocks.

Thanks

Q: Admittedly, I am not a patient investor. I am disenchanted with Boyd and have to believe that either or all of the other equities mentioned above (which I am not fully invested in) should be a better investment for the medium/long term. Could you please comment on this and suggest the equities, in order of growth expectation, I could replace Boyd with.
Thanks,

Congratulations to 5i for having a handfull of stocks that they have endorsed to us members on making the TSX Top 30 list, https://www.tsx.com/en/news?id=1053 , the 30 best performers over the last 3 years.

Q: I was doing a high level look at my portfolio in terms of recent vs 3, 5, and 10 yr CAGR and saw what I expected from stellar performers like CSU, TRI, WSP, IFC and DSG. What surprised me was seemingly declining longer term performance (ie pre-dating interest rate changes) from FTS, QSR, GIB.A, and EIF. The balance of the portfolio is holding it’s own or is cyclical or I can see a path to renewed growth/performance. Are the four named really lagging or am I looking at the wrong metrics? If you agree they might be considered to be faltering versus past performance can you suggest “growthier” replacements without going too far out the risk scale? Thank you.

Q: Questions on CTS:

How similar is its business to GIB.A, if at all? Does it make sense to hold both?

Do you have a good feel for its resiliency (i.e. competition and poor economy)?

Is there any vision or plan on this company growing going forward?

Are there odds of a takeover in the future?
