Q: The Federal, Ontario and Quebec governments have all announced significant infrastructure spending in their budgets. This should be good for infrastructure companies. Which stock do you think is most promising for a new position? I have held WSP in the past and was surprised to see it down 1% today despite the positive news. At a PE of 47.6X is does not look cheap.

Q: Hello 5i,
I own these four industrial stocks. Could you please rank them for growth?
Do you feel it necessary to own all of them or is it logical to consolidate.
Lastly, are there any US names you would rank higher than these?
Thanks for you insight!

Q: Nvidia has quickly become 5% of my portfolio. I love the firm but it's been a meteoric recovery. In 2-3 years do you see it higher or is it time to take some off the table? Same question for WSP which has doubled for me now representing 4.68%

I know allocations are personal - just looking for how you manage your winners. I typically have a 6% max threshold on any one stock.

Q: I am considering adding CAT to the industrial sector of my TFSA to complement WSP. I would like a relatively safe 10% annual return from CAT. I note that WSP ate CAT's lunch with 3&5 year returns. Cat is doing better over 3,6 and 12 months. The impetus for the CAT addition is the infrastructure bill $$$$ in the US. Is this a good plan for a 3-5 year hold? Thank you

Q: We’ve currently run into a situation where we’ve become a bit overweight with our wsp holding (Thank you!). We’re wondering if you would endorse taking profits and putting them into a company like NVEE or is there another, preferably US listed company that you would endorse that is in the same sector. Thank you for the great insight.

Q: WSP has been a strong performing investment and a long time favorite, both for 5I and for me. The current P/B is over 3.6, and while it has historically had a higher than average P/E, it currently shows a P/E of 46.

Do you believe these matrices show it is as becoming over valued?

Also, the Price to Cash Flow is 28.1 while Price to Free Cash Flow is -8.60. Can you please explain what these matrices reflect for companies in general, and how do you see what seems to be a significant difference in these measures?

Thank you for your excellent service.
