Q: I am only interested in holding Canadian Long Term Compounders. I am looking for companies with decent ROIC, ROE and good balance sheets and preferably owner/operators with skin in the game. In the Canadian space of my portfolio I hold CSU, ATD and TFII. My question is could you provide to me 10 small and mid cap Canadian names that you would feel would make the best long term compounders to hold for at least 5-10 years.

Q: Hi 5i,
I have to sell something in my RRIF to raise cash for my annual payment out, and can't decide between selling a portion of GSY or a portion of PRL or a combination of the two.
They're currently of roughly equal value in my RRIF, but only because PRL has gained far more than GSY since each was bought (PRL- 125% to GSY - 24%).
I'm not too concerned about losing the dividends either of them pay, and want to keep the one most likely to produce the most capital appreciation over the next year or two. And I'm not adverse to selling some of each to raise the required cash if that 'diversification' seems wise in the circumstances.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Peter

Read Answer Asked by Satish on December 20, 2024
Q: I read this morning in the G&M there’s a push by consumer advocates for government legislation to be broadened to include restricting highly profitable credit insurance charges by alternative lenders. To what extent is even the threat of this a headwind for Goeasy and Propel? As as second question, should this restriction find its way into legislation, to what extent would this impact Goeasy and Propel?

Q: I provided some funds to my two grandsons approximately 6 months ago. One grandson invested his funds in the stocks and ETFs noted above. He is very pleased to see an increase in market value for all his investments. I will be providing my grandsons with additional funds to add to their existing investments. Please rank the existing investments shown above for long term growth. I will submit a second question for my other grandson. Best wishes for the Holiday Season.

Q: Hi Team,
What would be some of your best ideas in the small/ mid cap space today either US or CND that you see having the best potential over the next decade (medium risk). Or alternatively if I wanted to play it safer what US based etf would be suitable to play the theme here assuming small and mid caps will show outperformance in the next few years? I am leaning towards the US sector as outperforming canada at least in the next few years.

Shane.

Q: Good evening, how do you view these two stocks in light of upcoming tightening of immigration to Canada? Would this be a positive or a negative? And in Propel's case, would it be outweighed by attempts at international growth? Buy, hold, sell? Thank you!

Q: I own both of these and they are now about 12% of my account. Given the uncertainty of the rate cap rumors I am thinking it might be a good time to reduce this to 5-6%. Trim both or sell one? Which one is the most likely sell candidate?

Thanks folks

Q: Looking at the chart of Propel. Since June 2024 consistent new monthly highs (of course with profit taking pull backs). But since the early November highs, the trend has changed, lower highs etc. this looks like a topping pattern to me. (I would say if it cannot break 40 very soon it is time to get out). While, of course, there can be many reasons for investors losing interest in a stock, the timing of the apparent reversal with the U.S. election seems too coincidental. May I ask as to whether 5i is aware of anything in the Propel business model which could be negatively affected by the Trump election? I am thinking maybe tariffs and their effect on interest rates etc.
Thanks as always
Neil

Q: There seems to be a consistent view by 5i and others that Small and Mid Cap stocks have started to lead the market and will continue to do so over the next 2 to 3 years.

What are your current top 5 Small/Mid cap US and Cdn stocks? Could you also add what you think are good entry points?

Thank you;
Tim

Q: There was a recent very good Q&A asked by Dan that I can no longer find. He had requested a list of (7) quality companies in the $5B market cap range. I recall WELL, GSY and TVK as part of that group....can't remember the others.

I was hoping that you could find that list and rank them by:

- current valuation

- management quality (if known)

- growth potential

- balance sheet quality
