Q: Hi Peter, Ryan,

We have a few dogs with the downturn but we also cashed in all of our high runners in early October. Your insight is invaluable in our portfolio management strategy and we understand the decision to buy or sell is in our control. On that note, we have been buyers the past two weeks when a stock drops 25%-40% (i.e. KXS today at $67.99). Can you comment on the following opportunities (BYD.UN, WSP, NFI, CCL.B, PBH, SHOP, ENHG) to purchase now with a 3-5 year hold inside RRSP's.
1. Please rank (based on your expertise) the above stocks from best to worst as of today to add to an RRSP.
2. Which of the above, if any, are considered "prime" to purchase today.

Thank you
Jerry and Debbie

Q: For the most part off the top of your head, can you provide a list of highly regarded Canadian companies with oversized eps growth expected from 2018 to 2019.

A few to get us started, in my opinion, include...
WSP - 2018 eps = $3.11; 2019 eps = $3.79; 22% eps growth
PBH - 2018 eps = $4.08; 2019 eps = $5.34; 31% eps growth
PKI - 2018 eps = $1.56; 2019 eps = $2.69; 72% eps growth
KXS - 2018 eps = $0.99; 2019 eps = $1.34; 34% eps growth

Thanks.

John

Q: Hey guys,
I am a big believer in a healthy corporate culture being one of the keys to running a successful business long term. Having strong leadership, as well as a desire by employees to come to work and be proud of being part of the company, and a management team that is focused on the long term and not quarterly results or analyst expectations.
Do you know any canadian companies that meet or exceed this criteria?
Thank you

Q: I hear lot of positives about this company from news and other researchers online. The financial metrics look pretty. Im assuming they are in to setting up contact centers/BPOs and providing services related to it. There are several players in this industry/sector but they seem to have some edge/advantage and that shows up in financials. What's that special advantage or moat that they have which makes their clients stick to them? Or is there something to do with their pricing model ?
Please advise.

Q: Got a bit of cash to add a new position to my RRSP. Which one of these names do you think has the most growth potential over the next few years? Feel free to suggest other names as well (prefer Canadian) - I currently own TSGI, KXS, and MAXR in this account. Thx.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

I manage my daughter-in-laws small portfolio, and the sector balances are now out of whack due to her recent cashing out of her TFSA for a major purchase.

She now has almost zero in the Technology sector. After I reallocate some funds from over-exposed sectors in her LIRA and RRSP, I'd appreciate knowing what Technology stock(s) you'd recommend at this time that provide a measure of safety and growth (preferably from the stocks covered by 5i. Thanks as always for your valued insight.

Q: I came across this when I was doing research on small cap funds and found this in the portfolio of Mawer New Canada funds. Seems to be a very good on most financial parameters. Seems to have high institutional holdings and has strong growth.
Your views on the future growth outlook. Being a $1 billion company in IT sector with umpteen number of players, do you think it has reached a saturation in Canadian market and may see moderation in growth rates compared to the past?
Would you recommend this stock or do you have better picks in the IT sector?
