Investment Q&A

Q: CLS is near $100 today, would this be a good moment to initiate a position? Would you wait further and keep the cash for now? Would you initiate a position at 2%? It is for a TFSA and a long-term hold. Alternatively, should I bolster my position in two other growth names (PRL to 4%) and KSI with a position similar to that in the growth portfolio. All in TFSA. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5I Team,

I need to trim down these positions in order to generate some cash in the next couple of weeks. Could you please suggest a possible order that you might trim from this list of eight companies, given the current economic climate? Thanks. Brad

Q: I have a full position in GSY and a smaller position in PRL. I am down slightly on PRL. Do prefer EQB over PRL for long term growth?

Q: What would be your top 10 Canadian stock picks now, maximum market cap $10 billion, long term hold. Thanks.

Q: Does Propel have any benefit of Cdn$ costs versus US$ sales and are tariffs a material issue?

Q: I'm considering taking a position in the sub-prime Canadian lenders. Between Propel and Goeasy, which one would you choose to maximize total returns given the current market price? Is there an advantage in holding both with a (50/50) position? Planned holding period is 3 to 5 years.

Thanks for the great service.

Q: What happens to the earnings of Propel if the US economy goes into recession? I’m confused because I have heard recessions cause more people to use their type of lending. Yet you would think defaults would rise significantly. What would the net effect be?

Q: How would you rank the following for a growth oriented long-term hold: DEFI, DCBO, HPS.A, KSI, VHI, PRL, GSY, ATZ, CLS, NTR, PBL, DRX

Q: Hello Team,

What are your thoughts on PRL here? Do you know why they don’t list out current assets and liabilities?

Thank you

Q: Hi team,
Is there anything to note on Prl earnings after the conference call? I caught some of it and it sounded good to me. Yet the stock is falling currently 11%. I don’t see where all the negativity is coming from here and what’s not to like here.

Thanks

Q: Hi Team,

Why is PRL trading so low after publishing good results. Forward PE of 5.22. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Ben

Q: What is expected from Propel in the earnings release, Wednesday.

Q: Hi 5i, assuming Hurricane POTUS looses his bluster, one year out how would you rank the above small caps for potential?

Q: Favorite 5 names to add to a TFSA for long term appreciation with the recent sell off. Agnostic of sector and can stomach high degree of volatility

Q: What would your market call top 3 picks today

Q: Hi Team,
These Tariff moves have gone from "not a big concern" to a major concern with anyone holding a growth portfolio. Currently I am down 23% from peak in short order since January, due to a higher concentration in Tech names and other growth names. An amazing fall considering I thought I was holding all solid names (such as NVDA. PRL, SHOP, TTD as examples) Do you view this as 2022 all over again? Or do you think the market will bottom sooner than it did in that year? Hard to say I know based on Trump saying that he no longer cares much about the market this go around. A much different tune that last term. However I suppose that could change overnight. I don't imagine Musk in enjoying Tsla's fall; perhaps that will end up in a clash with Trump on trade policies or hopefully talk some sense into him at the very least. Looking for your take on the current situation. Lastly, I assume that since major damage is already done would I be best to just hold the line at this point? Or sell out some growth names even at current levels? If buying new purchases what would be your top 3 names to add to at current levels?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Within each of their sectors, CPX and GSY seem to have suffered larger drops than their peers.

Can you comment on why they each have been so negatively impacted and provide your thoughts on whether you think they should be continued to be owned or do you have other preferences in these sectors, if one's goal is income and some growth.

Thank you
