Investment Q&A

Q: I know both are spinoffs from CSU and involved in “vertical” software. And both have done well.

What is the difference between the 2 companies?
Do they compete against each other in any way?
Which of the 2 should have the better growth prospects?

Thanks.

Q: These companies who buy other companies are dropping because of an AI scare.
Is it not possible for them to start adjusting and start buying AI companies to keep up with the present trend?

Is that possible?

Thanks

Q: Both are getting hit today, particularly TOI. Any idea why? I hear talk of AI affecting them. Is this a factor? If so, how critical is it and how much risk does it introduce? Do you still rate them high?

Q: Good evening 5i
I am just straightening out loose ends and have found the money to buy one stock. From the above what would your order for quality/price be? And why
Thanks for the great service

Q: Hi, I am looking to build a diversified portfolio across various sectors and am considering adding these for consumer/healthcare/technology. Are these good picks, or would you advise against any of them, and in which order would you purchase? Thanks!

Q: I have a total of 27% in technology and wonder if best to decrease this as I do not have consumer staples or consumer cyclical stocks. I am thinking of selling of GIB.A and CLBT. Would you sell these 2 stocks to bring the weight down or best to just trim some off the stocks listed. This is for a RRSP and I am more growth oriented.

Q: TOI can bounce around a bit but lately it's had some big bad down days. Today its off over 4%. Do you see any reason for it? Anything to be concerned about as the trajectory of the stock is negative?

Q: My tech component of my portfolio is 43% and want to rebalance my portfolio so tech is about 33%. In tech CSU is 33% NVDA 20% Shop 15% Rest are about 6% to 8%. Is there 1 or 2 I should sell due to overlap? What should I do?
Also is there an argument that shopify fits into the consumer discretionary space?
Also am I missing a tech name?
Thanks take more credits if needed

Q: Hello,

For 5i, are these three companies still part of the “buy and forget” category?

Thanks

Q: Most of my investing style is focused on Canadian high quality compounders and the US market using ETFs. I have really tried to drill in my head that drawdowns of 20-30% happen quite frequently to quality compounders for no significant reason other than they can randomly occur. I try my best to ignore them and focus on the long term future. My biggest holdings are CSU, TOI, and LMN. Instead of focusing on the current drawdown, where do you see these companies in a 5-10 year time horizon? Will CSU be able to acquire as many companies? Will it compound as quickly as it has before. Do you feel that TOI and LMN will be that faster growers in the future compared to CSU. What is the possibility of future spin outs for CSU? So far the 2 spin outs have worked well and followed CSU’s acquisition and incentive playbook.

Q: What do you think about the concept of AI, with the corollaries of ‘vibe-coding’ and lowered barriers to software creation, affecting the above businesses?
I hear an increasing number of guests on CNBC and posts on X predicting the ‘death of SaaS’ because of this.
The above companies all benefit from perceived niche software, and charge fees that reflect this. Is niche software not going to be so hard to penetrate in the future by new, cheaper entrants?
And will this actually have to happen to affect the share prices of the above at some point, but just the expectation of it happening? Thx.

Q: Please rank the following stocks to purchase today for greatest growth potential. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,

There seems to be some good pull backs occurring in Lumine, Topicus, CSU and BN. At what point would you add to existing positions and would you have a recommendation on good entry points?

Thank you!

Q: So what's the story with these? They've really backed off over the past week. Are they not delivering up to expectations? Anything to be concerned with?

Q: Good morning! Which of these two today, and why, please?

Q: Would you be comfortable adding after latest earnings release ?

Is there a preference for one over the other, today, with more visibility about integration of recent large acquisitions ?

Q: Your thoughts please on the quarter? Thx

Q: What does the market expect from TOI tomorrow?

Thx

Q: hi group what's going on with following stocks and are they buy sells or holds and why? also suggested buy /sell targets

Cost
FFH
AC
TFII
NVDA
LLY
TOI
MDA

Q: I hold a number of Small/Mid Cap stocks. Some have done really well and others have done good. Given that Small/Mid caps in general have had a good run would you be trimming these positions? Position suze is not an issue.

Thanks
