Q: hello 5i:
Recently, I asked about selling AC and moving the money to EIF. You were positive on this. AC has been sold, and though good earnings growth for EIF is projected, I've found that they miss Analyst expectations on all metrics (Earnings/Share, Cash Flow, and Free Cash Flow) as often, or more, than they hit them.
With that in mind, how much faith can I put in an Earnings Growth projection? Is there a metric I'm missing and should be looking at?
Is there and Industrial space company similar to this, but with a better record of meeting expectations?
thanks

Q: I'm 50% down on both of these companies. I'm ready to throw in the towel on either if not both. Do you believe they will recover in the next 2 years? Would you rather sell one and buy the other, would you just hold for now, or would you sell both and buy something else? Take as many credits as needed. Thanks

Q: hello 5i:
today, would you sell (if already owned), AC; and buy EIF (not owned). Why or why not? Would there be 3 or 4 income stocks you'd prefer to EIF in the Industrial space?
thanks

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! What are thoughts about Air Canada as a long term hold. I bought it during the pandemic in hopes that there would be a good surge in growth when things reopened . I recently read an article that the business travel end of the airline industry may not be so rosy because a lot of companies are going the more cost efficient Zoom route. With inflation and the cost of gas making travel more expensive recreationally, there may not be that quick come back. Your thoughts? Cheers, Tamara

Q: Hi there, I am a big fan of your Balanced Equity Portfolio. I like the more growth oriented names in it and was wondering if you were to swap out the less growth names for names that have a little more risk but for higher return, which would you swap and for what names? Thanks!

Q: We'd all love to get a look at a few stock prices from 5 years in the future. Get a big winner, or avoid a big loser, with no risk. If you could get a list of the prices of 10 Canadian stocks 5 years from now, which ones would you pick? Let's say stocks with a min market cap of roughly $1 billion Cdn.

Q: hello 5i:
We're looking for a decent income stock and are considering EIF. We already own about a 1.5% position in AC. Are the companies businesses too similar in that they are both tied to the airline business or is there sufficient difference to own both? And what are your thoughts on the present valuation of EIF?
thanks
