Q: Constellation has been "A" rated and I think it's no secret it is the current favourite 5i Canadian stock for numerous reasons, great chart. I'd like to know what CSU would need to do to earn an "A+" rating to rise above its very few "A" peers; would a stock split help? If CSU can't make "A+" what non-Canadian company might be on the horizon for the "A+" rating, recognizing it's not your area of expertise? If I'd never heard of 5i I would not have been in CSU since $115 and since the initial purchase have averaged up, and I sure wouldn't be in "A" territory! Thanks, 5i.

Q: Hi Peter and team;
Thanks for the great service. I am building positions with A and B rated stocks. So far I have bought Stantec, Enghouse, BNS. I am looking at adding another stock, my goals are long term hold (5 years) and looking for dividend growth potential and stock price appreciation. At this time, is their one stock you would recommend.
Tks
Kevin

Q: Based on current metrics what price would you consider Constellation Software CSU too expensive to buy?
Q: Thinking of buying CSU and CSCO and Cineplex. Is it too late to buy these as they’ve taken quite the run.
Also are there other Canadian tech stocks you would recommend? I currently have no tech stocks in my portfolio.

Q: CSU is trading around $167 today. It is too late to buy? I keep missing opportunities to purchase on a pullback and now wonder if I should even try. Your opinion is greatly appreciated!
Q: Hi Peter
CSU took another big jump yesterday which is good for the investors, and I understand that they will also pay a special dividend in Oct ($ 1 per share)
I got in around $ 150.
Has the volumes been up lately? Would this eventually be a take over target?
thanks

Q: CSU- What is the concensus for Constellation's Q2?
Q: Hello,
I purchased Constellation Software almost a year ago, and am quite happy with the progress. My only concern with this company relates to the threat from cloud computing companies; is this a significant risk going forward in your opinion?

Q: Hi Peter:
I have been waiting patiently to buy some CSU which is graded as
"A" by your newsletter
It is trading at 145 and looking like it is forming another base
before taking off
Should I wait for a pull back ? or put in a 50% position now?
thanks!

Q: In my TFSA with long time horizon and a small part of my portfolio, I am down 84% on Arcan ARN, would you keep it or top up on STN, CSU or one of my A- rated stocks?
Q: I'm tempted to purchase Constellation (CSU) but am concerned about whether there is still much upside potential in the next couple of years. I know you did a report on it in Oct 2012, giving it an excellent grade, but it was $103.78. Today it's trading around $135 meaning it's gained around 30% in the last 7 months. Do you still recommend it at these levels?
Q: Cct and csu are my core holding for many years in excess of 12% of my overall stock holding. Are there any concern on the recent quarterly report or just a normal profit taking? Thank you for your opinion.
Q: Could I please have your assesment of Constellation Software's (CSU) first Q earnings released today after the market closed? Thank you.Peter
Q: I have a question about Brookfield Renewable Energy. I am a new member just creating my 30K TSFA portfolio now. I need to decide between CSU and and BEP; I already own Stantec, and I want one more A level stock. Which one do you think would be best for total return for the coming year. I realize they are very different stocks. (I also plan to own SYZ, AYA, ESL.)
Q: Hello Peter and the 5I team:
I am a new member and have a question on CSV (Constellation). This is an acquisition driven company. How long can they keep churning out increasing profits?
Do you have any recommendations on REITs? You do not have a single REIT in your model portfolio. Is that by choice?
