Investment Q&A

Q: Going into earnings do you think that Hammond Power solutions is a safe hold.
I recently hold a 5% position at 103.00.
Thanks

Q: Hello, I've been keeping an eye on hps.a for a while now and I'm considering getting in. With its earnings report approaching on the 25th, I'm wondering if I should wait until after the report is released before making a move. Would appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you!

Q: What will the effect of an interest rate lowering cycle be on Propel Holding’s earnings?

Q: Good afternoon,

On Aug 2020 ABX was at $40.39, March 2022 - $33.50, today $24.60 . Many gold stocks are reaching new highs the last few days and gold appears like will reach a new high any day. ABX is in much better shape vrs 2020 but the stock never goes up , what am i missing here?? thanks, George

Q: I also like LULU for the longer term growth potential and the fact they seem to executing well on their plan to get to $12B in revenue by 2026. I'm optimistic about the Chinese growth opportunity, but I did see an interesting WSJ video this week in which they reported that young Chinese have less reverence for Western brands than previous generations. Sharing a bear case perspective for others to consider in their analysis: https://youtu.be/hHOSEFRtaNc?si=biHglaJfBs0yuJ_c

Q: Hi, We have some large capital gains crystallized this year, as a result of trimming of some overweight holdings and rebalancing of our Taxable account portfolio. The two securities, we have some losses in, are DRX and TVK. We are toying with a plan to sell those positions in full ( 2% and 1.75%, respectively) in order to book some losses to help us offset the large gains.

We also intend to buy back full or partial positions, after 30 days, as these are some of highly recommended companies by 5i.

Considering that both stocks are trading close to their recent lows, do you see any merit in this strategy ? Are there any catalysts, in the near term for these companies, which could be favourable to stocks but pose a risk to our buyback plan ?

Thank You

Q: Hi, Could you please comment on EPAM earnings. Thank you

Q: Hello, I know 5i like both of the above but if only one could be bought today for a 3-5 year holding period which one would be best. Thank you

Q: Good afternoon,

WM is at .085 cents and a market cap of $86 million. It has not responded at all with the gold rally. It has a positive PEA that appears to have much more value then the market cap. What is your opinion at this time.... Thanks, George

Q: I have some cash to deploy. Do you think yesterday's shift into 'other' stocks is a meaningful moment? I am not looking to sell any of the big US firms (GOOG, NVDA, etc.,) that I hold but wonder if it is an opportune time to put some of this money elsewhere. I am specifically looking at the US market and the move yesterday into RH and the like. Any sectors or specific stock suggestion that might fit this theme would be appreciated. I am thinking of US mostly, but not exclusively. Thank-you.

Q: Hello Team,

Looking at starting a new position in a few of the 12 companies tagged. Can you rank from 1 to 12 on which companies you think is the best to start a new position in. No worries on size, industry or risk, looking for capital appreciation only over the next 3 years.

Thanks again!

Q: Hello,
I thought given the news about Goeasy's ceo change (uncertainty) would have moved some investors to propel holdings.. Also, what is holding the stock back? The market is moving higher today but propel is hardly moving... also, any news on Topicus.. The stock is at a standstill with few trades taking it higher than it dips again.. is it becoming a trading stock

Q: With ongoing growth in the Indian economy, do you recommend investing in an etf or other vehicle there? Our access looks to be limited to a handful of large caps.

Q: Good morning 5i, I've held CCL.B for a few years and until the positive results in the 1st Q this year giving it a bump it has been a slow grower. I'm considering moving on to something with more momentum. Two questions: What are your thoughts on CCL.B for the next 3-5 years?, and if it were to be sold, what are your top picks in the consumer cyclical sector, Cdn or U.S. for growth and ideally a small dividend? I already have ATD and BYD.
Thank you

Q: How safe is the dividend??

Q: Can I get your thoughts on the most recent quarter? Would now be an ok time for someone who doesn't currently own the name to start adding?

Q: What does the launch of the Omegro organization mean for CSU

Thx

Q: Hi.

Can you recommend fixed income ETFs, on US and/or international markets in the following areas:

- Technology
- Industrials
- Health care
- Consumer cyclical

In addition, I have a great amount of Magna International stocks (equivalent to 45% of my RRSP portfolio), that had a significant devaluation in the last 2 years. What is your recommendation? To hold, sell...?

Thank you.

Q: Good Morning,

I was thinking of buying the listed companies for a 6 month hold. What is your opinion on expected total returns. Your suggestions for better total return cdn stocks are welcome. Thank you

Q: Hello Team,

I was wondering if you could rank the attached 12 companies from 1 - 12. I have some money to deploy in my cash account and already own all 12 in my TFSA/RRSP. Will be a 3 year hold.

No worries on size, risk or industry, looking for best returns only.

Thanks!
