Investment Q&A

Q: I recently retired and looking to place some of my savings into the market with a 5 year horizon at which time I will re-evaluate. Will tolerate a moderate to light risk. Could you please recommend 3 or 4 stocks or etf’s for my TFSA and 5-6 stocks for growth. Appreciate all your efforts. Thank you. Brian

Q: Hi, Constellation Software stock has been in an uptrend and rising steadily to new highs, recently, without any significant resistance along the way. After a $200 pullback this week with no news, do you consider it a good opportunity to add to an existing position ? Thanks

Q: This question concerns the technology sector in a well-diversified Canadian portfolio (~30 holdings), focused slightly toward growth.

The current technology holdings are CSU, SHOP, DSG and KXS. With the exception of KXS, the holdings are all positive. We are considering replacing KXS with LMN.

For a long term hold, which of KXS and LMN would you prefer and why?

Thank you,

Peter.

Q: Hi. I have an RESP for three grandkids, ages 5, 7 and 9. Current holdings that I'm underwater on are: AEM, BCE, BN, NTR and TVE along with these: ARX, BAM, CSU, ENB, RY, TD and TOU. I'd appreciate your overall comments on account re sector allocation and any obvious sells. As well, I'd like suggestions on how to deploy $7000 cash. Thx.

Q: hi,
im seeing a very high P/E on CSU right now. can you compare the current P/E and the forward P/E with historical averages. If possible can you include the ranges for these ( ie highest and lowest historically). can you comment on your thoughts about the current and future P/E being reasonable or not, and why? finally, are you comfortable punching shares at this price?
cheers, Chris

Q: JPM has had a decent run but I'm thinking of swapping it for Mastercard. Can I get your thoughts please?

Palo Alto has also been terrific, but I'm trying to add more AI into my portfolio. I'd like to sell it and find a new name, CDN or US. I own MSFT, AAPL, Salesforce, GOOG, Meta, NVDA, Constellation, Shopify and Kinaxis. I was thinking of Taiwan Semi, AMD or Broadcom, but can I get your thoughts please?

Q: Hi I have my RRSP distributed at around 8% or 12% on these stocks, would you change anything , I'm heading to retirement in 7 months from now and like to know if you would recommend any modification. I can sustain drops of 10% , which I handle by doing nothing.
Thank you 5i, you have been good to me!!!

Q: We own the above in our non registered portfolio. Please advise the average 5 year return on each of them.

Q: Would there be a dilution in DOO after the Bain capital deal ? How much ? Yahoo finance listed the earning report date for CSU as March 6 2024, and Feb 6 2024 for TOI. Is there a mistake ? Or is CSU going to give out some more good news ?

Q: I own CSU at a 7.25% weight and also TOI and LMN around 5%. All have quite nice returns but do you feel CSU profitability could slow enough from the law of large numbers to trim a bit and reallocate to the offsprings? Thanks!

Q: The following is from a recent article in the G&M:

"Investors typically regard a cheap stock as one with a PEG ratio around 1. By that standard, many of the Magnificent Seven look to be reasonably priced.

Amazon (a PEG of 1.3), Alphabet (1.3), Meta (1.2) are on the borderline of cheap, while Nvidia (0.7) looks to be a downright bargain, according to calculations this week by Robert Armstrong of the Financial Times.

Microsoft (2.6) and Tesla (2.1) are somewhat pricey by PEG’s reckoning but not outrageous. Only Apple (4.6) looks like a true luxury item, perhaps because it’s perceived as a superbly managed, ultrasafe defensive stock."

What are the PEG ratios of SHOP, CSU, LMN, and TOI?

Thanks as always for your expertise.

Q: I am not specifically asking about these 4 equities, rather they are representative of some tech stocks that have been increasing dramatically in the last few weeks / months. Are we looking at a bubble in tech? Where is all the momentum coming from? Many thanks.

Q: Good past performers were TC. FFH. ONEX,CSU, KXS ATD

What do you think of theses next 3 Years. Could you rank your choices Thank You RAK

Q: HI 5I, I like to reduce my tech stocks, I like to keep 5 of them (the ones with more stability) , the rest will sell to buy BN & COST (or any other suggestion) , I hate to let go some of them since they have provided me good gains , but I need peace of mind, and balance, I hate to be in your shoes with this question, please advice, thanks

Q: Everyone, I have held CSU since $110, bought LMN in September of 2023 and do not own any TOI (yet). Specifically, discussing the three names only in my overall group of stocks, my plan is to own 50% in CSU and 25% of each LMN and TOI. Any comments on the strategy. Clayton

Q: Any idea why CSU and LMN have gone to the moon in the very recent past? I know CSU has a stellar history and story, but really.... Sure CSU fundamentals are great, but it is behaving like NVDA has in the past.
