Investment Q&A

Q: Given the recent and continued decline in Teck stocks, can you provide your top 5 Tech picks for US and Canada. Small and large cap??

Q: Engh basically did not participate in recent market rally,but engaged in the downfall. It appears to me that he is somewhat similar to Goodman of GUD( finally acquired a co in Latin America but no positive impact on its price) living on its past success & dare not make an acquistions, maybe fearful of too pricey. Anyways,do U think that Engh will recover without any acquistions? Also.is this a decent entry point? Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: Morning 5i team: Which would you buy today and why?Or neither or another? Tks. Larry

Q: Thank you for helping us navigate through the volatility with a cool head. I have 2 questions.

In a long term horizon 3 years and more for the above list could you separate them into 3 buckets and identify 1 group for which you would add funds, 1 group to keep and 1 group to sell? All stocks mentioned are now reduced to 1% or less in a non-taxable portfolio.
XBC -20%
AT -15%
CARE -50%
LSPD -45%
DOC -60%
WELL -30%
EGLX -30%
ENGH -30%

My 2nd question:

For the following securities in a corporate account with a 2-year horizon. Do the same exercise and separate into 3 buckets which ones you would add funds to, which ones are keepers and which ones you sell.
AT -50%
LSPD -45%
DOC -60%
WELL -30%
EGLX -30%
ENGH -30%

Thanks again

Q: As noted in my previous question on the drop in Lnr re:the headwinds it faces and at my book at 70$.Would you consider that going forward in 22 that at a price of say 43$ that ENGH has more upside potential? Make any sense to swap or hold? Tks.Larry

Q: Hello Peter and Team

I have above stocks in my TFSA account. I am down CAE 10%, NVEI 47%, ENGH 17%, KXS 24%, LSPD 12%, QIPT 18%.

Normally I will consider all of them as good growth stocks but with the rotation now hapening in the market, I am wondering if I should keep them for the next 12 months or I should switch to more value stocks.

I value you opinion

Q: Please classify each of the above companies as one of the following:
LOWER RISK
MEDIUM RISK
HIGHER RISK
Thanks for your great service - use as many questions as you wish. ram

Q: 5i: Which do you prefer at these prices for the most secure upside potential, or other better options. And with either do you suggest hold off? Thanks Larry

Q: Hi Guys
Morningstar has ENGH @ Forward P/E at 26x and P/S at 5.3 x
Would you think taking my position up from 1.5% to 3.0% a good idea? or would your choice be another stock instead, I invest in companies, not trade stock prices.
Thanks !

Q: I am a little overweight techs in a well diversified portfolio. Considering valuation contraction where do you see a new normal forward P.E. the S&P in 2022 and for those stocks highlighted?
Please provide forward P.E. and multiples for those that make profits and guestimate where the low end could be for the others.

Thanks

Yves

Q: Hi 5i!

Which high quality stocks would you look at to take profit of the recent dip?

Many thanks,

Frank

Q: I want to initiate positions in my unregistered investment account, but if I buy all 8 above stocks, each position would be extremely small. (But that is still an option.) Considering thoughts on inflation and interest rates, could you put these in order of priority for purchase now. These positions would primarily be for safety, with a bit of income, which is non-essential, and some growth, which is also not essential. Just looking for your confidence level of these as companies for the longish term.

Q: These names have A to A- ratings in your reports over the past 1 year.
Looking for good upside for small position in TFSA with lowish risk of downside for 3 to 5 year hold. Which of these would be your first and second top picks?
Thanks so much.
Best of the season to all at 5i and all my 5i co-clients.

Q: Hello, I have purchased ENGH at a higher price and currently down 25% in a non registered account. I understand that you like the management team. Should I hold, sell for tax loss and rebuy in 30 days, or buy some more as it is on sale?

Q: Hi- are there any equities on the TSX you see having compelling valuation right now, particularly for a young, longer term investor.
Jordan

Q: A tale of 2 companies. CSU is acquiring companies at a record pace and ENGH says everything is too expensive. Thoughts please?

Thx

Q: Thanks for your excellent work. I've recommended your service to friends and you now have made new clients.

Why is ENGH hated so much ? It's in a downtrend for more than 18 months now and I thought that they would find a near term bottom here with the last quarterly earnings report.

Let's recap, investors hate high growth high valuation stocks. Investors also dislike slow growth and decent PE. Where do you see fit ENGH ? I thought we would see the end of the death spiral with this earnings report. Nope, so I guess we are now just a few believers like me and the founder of course holding the bag.

Q: I had been wanting to buy Enghouse Systems for a few months but since it’s highs of 77$ it has been steadily coming down. Now sitting at 48$ and reporting good earnings for Q4 do you think it would be a good buying opportunity or should I wait until 2022? If so what would be a good entry price.

Q: Could I have your assessment of Enghouse earnings.
Thank-you.

Q: Hello Peter,
If one of your members wants to donate credits, I am happy to take some of them. There have been many questions on Nuvei, and do apologize for another one. However, my biggest concern is not the short sellers. Regulations take time and there will always be companies looking to profit from potentially fake news or reports. I am more concerned about the firms that are happy to raise money from companies like Nuvei, sell stock to their clients (as we see many analysts from firms having much higher targets for the company prior to short seller), but when a negative report comes out, very few come out and defend the company, especially when the company comes out with a release that their guidance is intact. In some ways, it makes one think whether it is really worth putting monies in high growth companies as when something goes wrong, the retail investor is left holding the bag with less monies than invested. I have two portfolios, one conservative with BAM, banks, costco, etc and other with high growth. The conservative portfolio over a ten year period has done much much better. Please comment on the investment industry on their lack of response (well some did but not to a great extent). Also, can you comment why Enghouse is lower and lower after the company announced a potential sale. I was expecting it would surge slightly. Many thanks for the service over the years and the various questions from the investors.
