Investment Q&A

Q: In tracking these four auto parts companies, all seem to have been doing very well in this volatile market. Even ACQ enjoyed a ~5% bump today! Wondering if the reason is somehow related to Trump's tariff controversy. Thanks.

Q: Peter Lynch amassed a fortune investing in undervalued growth stocks. I currently own LNR & GSY. Can I get some other names that you would consider good GARP stocks?
Thanks in advance.

Q: Hello 5I
Linamar (LNR) and Magna (MG) have had significant gains in the last year and are both near their all-time highs.
I got in both at much lower price and was wondering if this is a good time to sell and take the profit or do you see both reaching new highs in 2018?

Thanks
Bob

Q: How would a metal tariff effect MG and LNR?

Q: The news talks about sub prim loans for auto, consumer debth, and car sharing. In your opinion is time up for these 2 cyicular stocks?

Q: LNR is obtaining $100 mln in grants from federal and provincial govs. What caught my attention was this : "It also said the grants will support a Linamar innovation centre focused on technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and collaborative robotics". Do you have any insights beyond this press release on what LNR is planing to do or what it has done so far in this area? How do they compare to Magna in this area?

Q: Hello Team,
What do you think of the acquisition announced yesterday.
After the recent drop on price, the stock is more attractive on a value basis but I am not sure to clearly understand how well the acquisition will be integrated with the current business they are doing so I would like to know If you think it is a good entry price now.

Happy Holidays!

Michel

Q: Your thoughts on the Linamar acquisition please. Thanks, Michael

Q: WFT, SJ, OSB and LNR all seem to be getting hammered today - and I have searched and I don't see any bad news about any of these. Is this due to concerns over NAFTA - or is it something else?

Q: Is it now a good time to invest in MG or LNR？Which one would you pick and please explain. Thanks

Q: Hello Peter,
Is it correct to say that the time to buy cyclical stocks are around the peak of the cycle? Where do you see the auto sector in the cycle and would you recommend adding to stocks such as LNR/MG/XTC?
Also, if you heard the CEO on the conference call or BNN; is the intent to diversify into Agricultural equipment sector a show of bravado w.r.t nafta or is it a sign of full steam ahead ?
Regards

Q: What are your thoughts on LNR earings?
I currently hold 2% - Should I buy more, Sell or hold.

Thanks for the great service

Q: Please rank the above stocks based on how well you think they will do in 2018. 2017 was good for them.
Thanks.
Paul

Q: Auto stocks seem to have been on the roll. Is this sector OK to invest in? Which stock do you prefer;
MG or LNR

Thanks

Q: Hello Peter and 5i team,
I have done very well with Linamar and was thinking that it might be wise to switch to Magna at this time. It seems that Magna has a bigger global footprint and a better chance of participating in the electric car movement, especially over seas. Linamar appears more focused on non electric vehicles .
I would greatly appreciate your opinion, thanks

Q: Please comment on the XTC results. Would you still hold it? I also have MG and LNR. equal weight, all represent 9% of my portfolio. Making money on all. Should I make any changes here? Looking for growth.
Thank You for excellent service.

Q: LNR.TO is reaching 52 week highs. What are your thoughts on this company? Thanks.

Q: All of these companies had large drops in value today(Friday)on large volumes. CSU down 1.5% and ECI down 2.5% on very large volume at the day's end. Can you explain this end of day activity? Is it a buying opportunity?
Perhaps a separate question, both LNR and MG took big hits today (Friday), both on large volumes - any ideas as to what caused this? Buying opportunity?

Q: Have been patient waiting for these companies to recover. What is your opinion? Should I sell and move on. Thank you.

Q: Good morning 5i team,

I’m considering moving on from Linamar and CGI group in search of better growth prospects. I still like both companies, and believe they still have a good outlook, however, after holding each for some time I’ve been growing restless with the share prices seemingly stuck in the mud. Perhaps I’m just being impatient, but I cant help but wonder if these holdings are dead money. At least for the next year or two anyway.

I’m considering switching out Linamar for either New Flyer Industries, or Premium Brands Holdings, and CGI for either Kinaxis or Celestica.

Could you please give your opinion on whether it’s worth being patient with LNR/GIB.A, or a good idea to move on? And if moving on is recommended, would you consider the alternatives I’ve mentioned as good replacements with growth for the next 1-2 years in mind?

As always, thank you for your excellent insight and advice.
Tristan.
