Investment Q&A

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

Q: Thank you for responding to MP and NEO. Re NEO I see no reference in their most recent reports or other published coverage to a decline in revenues over the next two years so wondered if this came up in the conference call, and if so the cause of the anticipated decline. As to current pricing while the valuation looks modest on present earnings data I do not have and would appreciate your view on the valuation of this security versus others in their sector. Thank you.

Q: Savaria has been heading downwards for the last six months, correcting by roughly 25% from its peak in September 2021. It represents 2% of my portfolio as I am writing. I have read the initial commentary on SIS posted to the message board, and I understand that your group may still be digesting the content of the recent investor's call from earlier today.

I would like to hear your thoughts on whether it is more prudent to wait for management to right the ship, so to speak, or if better opportunities lie elsewhere. If I were to sell Savaria, which opportunities within the healthcare space would you deem worthy of investment? Thanks so much, and I look forward to your response.

Q: Hi gang, my question has to do with Costco's valuation. Can you please give me your quick and dirty evaluation for a long term hold? Also I'm seeing different p/e numbers, your page shows 27 while G&M shows 44. As for dividend, they seem to do a special dividend every few years, what is your view of a pending one soon.

Thx.

Q: Among banks, 5i seems to favour TD and BNS, though since 2019 patient investors have done well with just about any of the Big-Five-plus-NA.

But supposing interest rates are now set to rise, won't banks tend to find a trading range? In which case, wouldn't ZWB, with its covered call component, provide greater total return? Or do its MER and trading expenses claw back too much of its income?

Interestingly, since inception, ZWB's share price seems to have done as well as (for example) BNS, in spite of the potential for its positions to be called-away.

Q: HI,

I'm interested in resource stocks that have long term demand - five years or more. Unlike oil/gas stocks that I'm told are too cyclical for long term holds. What resource or resources - copper, steel, uranium, aluminum, fertilizer, etc. - do you feel is reasonably safe and can you suggest some ways to play it in both Canada and the US?

Q: Hi 5i team,

A few days you answered a free cash flow question with one of your favorites being Savaria. After listening to their CC do you still belive in the long term outlook of this company? Short term issues, not in management's control provide good buying opportunities, similar to other great manufacturers like Magna.

Thx

Q: Hi 5i
I use mental stops more so than hard stops. I am just curious that if I place a stop loss limit order, is that order visible to anyone using the market depth order data? Sometimes it seems like depth changes on more thinly traded stocks. That’s why I use mental stops.
Thanks.
