Q: Any reason you are aware of for the nice gains in the auto stocks today (Thursday)?

Q: To increase my consumer cyclical sector weighting I want to add either MG or LNR or maybe both. What company would i5Reseach recommend and why. Thanks … Cal

Q: Hello,
Please comment on LNR quarterly results and specifically on their quidance.
Thank you

Q: Good day 5i.

Please provide your thoughts on todays announcement between Ballard and Linamar. Do you think either is a buy on current valuation and future prospects?

Many thanks for your help.

Many thanks.

Q: Would you buy a full position of MG-T today? or buy a half LNR and half MG-T.Thanks keep up good work

Q: LNR is way off from the recent highs. I know, it more then doubled in 1 year; I bought pre pandemic, up 50%
Would you switch to MG now or wait for a bounce back to 90ies? I know you prefer MG from your past answers.

Q: Hello,

A long time ago, Peter was on Market call and he mentioned a few criteria, which in his books, would make a stock a recommendation.
And then as one of the top picks, which met all those criteria, was STN.
Out of all those criteria, I remember:
1) a company had no dividend and just introduced one;
2) significant insider holding/buying.
3) no debt.

Could you please let me know if the criteria I listed above is correct + if there were other criteria as well?
Also, could you please recommend a few companies in both Canada and in US, which met all those criteria (relatively) recently?
It would be really appreciated companies from different industries/sectors please.

Thank you

Q: How does the valuation for LNR stack up against MG. With MG being bigger more liquid, and a global leader, is LNR worth looking at? I must be reading the valuation stats wrong as they seem to look very good and low seems ok.

Q: Am looking to purchase TM or a suitable auto/auto parts company for 5 year hold, in RSP. Suggestions, rankings, please. Thanks!

Q: Pls comment on LNR's results. Do you think right now is a good time to initiate a position for a long-term hold? Or any other stock to suggest in this sector? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i team,

Pls comment on MRE's results. Also do you any headwinds mentioned to also impact other parts mfgrs like Magna or Linamar.

As a side note, I'm waiting on a new 2021 pickup and my dealer said I'm lucky as their being told to no longer accept orders for trucks due to shortages on parts.

Thx

Q: Some time back I was looking at buying either Linamar or Magna. Sadly, I went with Linamar. It has gone up, but no where like Magna. At this point, the outlook for Magna still seems very positive; where does Linamar go from here? I feel like I missed the boat on Magna, or would a switch still be a good idea? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Both have moved up well recently. Do you have a preference for one over the other. Please comment specifically on LNR, on it's auto related and other divisions.

Q: Hello, i have made some great gains since March on my Linamar shares. Thinking of selling and buying Magna? Thoughts?

Q: Hello team, do you think Linamar still has legs? I've recovered the loss and am in the green. Also have MG as a forever stock. Ofload lnr now or are forward looking metrics looking good for continued hold?

Q: You thoughts on a portfolio rotation from car parts' distributor to car parts manufacturers strategy for 3 years hold. Thinking for selling out of PRTS & AAP moving in to Magna or Linamar.
Do you think that car part's manufacturers will perform better than distributors?
Carparts had a sudden pop in last 6 months may be time for me to cash out but debating about selling out of AAP.
Magna has its presence in the EV trend, would you prefer Magna over Linamar? Why?

Thank you!

Q: Good morning,

I believe 5i prefers Magna over Linamar, and you folks often go with favouring a bigger company over its competition. MG has a much larger market cap than LNR. Plse explain (if I am correct) why 5i prefers MG over LNR (management team, opportunities, contracts, balance sheet?). I wish to buy one of them for a long-term hold.

Q: Hi 5I,
For the auto sector, which of the above would you buy today?
Thanks.

Desiree

Q: Trying to reduce the number of stocks I hold. Currently I am broadly diversified across sectors and large cap/small cap, growth/dividend payers, so those are not concerns. I look at total return, and have a long term horizon, 5+ years. Comfortable with risky stocks. I have smallish positions in these 12 stocks and would like to sell maybe 6 to 8 of them, and redeploy the money into a few of the others on the list or into some of my other holdings. Would you select 6 - 8 of the above that you think are less likely to perform well over 5+ years, and could be sold, and maybe 2 - 4 that could be added to. Thank you.
