Investment Q&A

Q: What are your top buys (3) right now if you were investing in a mix of growth, quality, and somewhat reasonable valuation? With your answer/explanation can you include fwd p/e or whatever relevant metrics vs peers?

Also, what's a quality stock or two you'd like to buy but would want to see come down a bit/something you'd be looking to pick up in a broad market selloff?

Q: I have a position in TOI and with the recent run, have some decent profit. You have mentioned a few times that TOI is expensive. Does it make sense to sell half my position and purchase LMN or do you think there is some positive momentum here and let TOI run a little more?

Q: What would you view as being the top Canadian compounders over say a 10-15 year period. I'm thinking CSU and ATD. What others for investors that want compounding growth over many years.

Q: Hello Peter,
What is happening to Ivanhoe electric? It is on a downward trend. I am thinking of selling my toi, and lmn, to invest in CSU as everyday i see csu ticking higher. Does this strategy makes sense? Also, with nice dividend history of fortis, why is it still so low whereas hydro one seems to be ticking higher. thanks very much

Q: I am considering starting new positions or adding to existing positions in a number of these companies. In What order would you purchase these companies, from first to last? Is there any of these companies you would not currently buy? Looking at 3 to 5 year timeline..

Thanks
Tim

Q: Dear 5i,
I own CSU (10%), LMN (2.5%) and SHOP (4%) in my TFSA.Is it a good idea for me to increase LMN to 5% and SHOP to 6% to increase weight in the technical sector? Is it better to start a new position(s) such as KXS, DSG, or TOI? This is a small diversified TFSA, and protecting the portfolio with some growth is the main goal.
Thank you.

Q: Good Day,

I picked up CALF and HPS.A based on your last answer to my questions. CALF was EXACTLY what I was looking for in that space. HPS.A looks really intriguing, and despite the constant highs on highs providing a bit of apprehension, I think I'll look back later and be happy. Thanks.

Through looking in to NXT as an option, came across FLEX, which it was spun out from, as well as TOI (and CSU by proxy) when looking at LMN.

Would FLEX or NXT have a better future outlook and why? What would you rank the risk and growth potential for each? Are there any other companies like FLEX that you would recommend? Also, the Share price estimate for FLEX is showing a high of 35, which is significantly higher than current. are those pre-NXT spinoff estimates?

For LMN and TOI, same questions.

Q: Hi, Any thoughts on Topicus stock, breaking out of $98-99 level, to a high of $107, with 8% jump in past 2 trading days, on reasonable volume ? Do you believe that stock is getting re-rated along with CSU/LMN family. Both CSU and LMN are trading at all time highs. TOI's 52 week high was $110, June 29, 2023 with All Time High of $142 on Nov 3, 2021. Thank You

Q: The following is from a recent article in the G&M:

"Investors typically regard a cheap stock as one with a PEG ratio around 1. By that standard, many of the Magnificent Seven look to be reasonably priced.

Amazon (a PEG of 1.3), Alphabet (1.3), Meta (1.2) are on the borderline of cheap, while Nvidia (0.7) looks to be a downright bargain, according to calculations this week by Robert Armstrong of the Financial Times.

Microsoft (2.6) and Tesla (2.1) are somewhat pricey by PEG’s reckoning but not outrageous. Only Apple (4.6) looks like a true luxury item, perhaps because it’s perceived as a superbly managed, ultrasafe defensive stock."

What are the PEG ratios of SHOP, CSU, LMN, and TOI?

Thanks as always for your expertise.

Q: Is Topicus going to begin to aquire companies in in the US as reported by the TSS operating group?

Thx
