Q: Hi, Can you name a few companies say 3 Us and 3 canadian companies who have been prolific in creating value for their shareholders either by buying back shares/not increasing their share count while growing consistently. A small dividend if applicable but leaning more towards growth in earnings. Preferably with some sort of monopoly or advantage in their field. Thank you.

Q: We own DSG in a non-registered account.
We own ENGH in an RRSP account.
(Both are relatively equally in weight.)
We'd like to sell one of these, and subsequently rebalance the overall portfolio by adding a Consumer Cyclical in the corresponding account. With a long term view in mind, risk is not a consideration.

Q1: Which of these would you currently recommend to sell?
Q2: What would you consider your top 3 Consumer Staples to purchase?

Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi 5iR team, Many brokerage houses start each New Year by attempting to consolidate their best stock ideas for the year in a comprehensive list.....their Conviction List. I'm wondering if I may ask 51R to do the same? If I was to canvas the 5iR Staff stock experts what would the majority agree on to be your best 5 stock ideas, give or take a few, for 2020? Thanks team. Chris

Q: Own a bunch of the 5i favourites outside of the above. Building up cash to deploy in a TFSA. Thoughts on these for the long run and buying today? I like the CDN names as you have reports on them and it give a bit more confidence in the name. I do own KXS and was wondering if there is overlap with DSG?

Q: I am trying to understand these 2 stocks in your portfolios.
We have DOO which is growing at 20-25% , future earnings expected around $4.40/year with a forward PE of 15.
On the other hand, we have DSG growing the same but with a forward PE of 80 and future earnings expected around $.80/year.

Why is DOO not valued like DSG and/or vice versa?
Why does DSG have a ridiculous multiple of DOO?
Every Q DSG does .11 and the stock price is $60!!

Remember, they are both growing at 20-25% / year.
Does DSG merit such valuation just because they are in tech?
Really doesn't make sense to me.
Thanks
