Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Your take on FSV's quarterly results? I've been considering increasing my holdings in this company (2.5% now) because it's been far less volatile than the market of late, a steady grower. But I'm worried it's expensive already. On that subject, I keep hearing these guys on BNN talking about this or that stock, like Enbridge, like Parkland Fuels, Constellation Software and Methanex as being too pricey, above their normal P/E ratio, and due for a pullback, and they advise not to buy. PE doesn't seem to bother you much. It seems to be your position that if a company is good you don't really care if the stock is over-priced because even if it falls 10%-20% it will recover that in a year or two and then surpass the current price. Do I have that right?

Q: I have held AX.UN for quite some time. and I am up on it, solely through the DRIP. Would you recommend holding, and continuing to just build my gains from the dividend, or is there another real estate stock that would be better for the long term. My other real estate holdings are CHP.UN, FSV & CIGI.
Thanks

Q: I am considering realizing gains on a 3% position in FSV and moving the proceeds into TCN. My thoughts here are to maintain exposure to US real estate with a lower valuation higher yield while still maintaining a growth tilt. Your comments on this move would be appreciated.

Q: Hell 5i Team,
I am planning to cash out mutual fund and invest it in stocks in my wife's RRSP account (75K) which will be around 1/3 od my existing portfolio (150K). I have my TFSA and RRSP invested in stocks (mostly from Balanced Equity portfolio). I am considering these names, which I don't have in my existing portfolio. Do you see any concern with any name? Please suggest a couple of names for growth potential, but not too risky.
Thanks for the great service.

Q: I was reading your answer to an earlier question on FSV earnings. The diluted earnings per share were 0.42 vs 0.43 a year ago and expectations of .50 for the quarter.
Which metric would you consider more relevant - diluted eps or the adjusted eps of 0.74? I would appreciate if you could provide the reasoning as it applies to FSV.
Expensive no doubt, but would you consider it a buy?
Regards.

Q: Hi 5i

Looking for some sustainable growth companies that may offer compounding return.

I have been looking at First Service Corp currently priced at 88.85Can.

What are your thoughts about FSV continuing to put up high growth numbers after doing it for two decades? I see by their investor information they have 5% market share; leaving significant share for growth.

Do the estimates you have indicate significant growth trajectory will continue?

Thanks
Dave
