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

Q: hi, I am down on all these names. I am considering adding to (some of?) them. I am looking for some growth in share price ( to match or beat inflation ) and a consistent growing dividend ( matching or beating inflation ). I also don't want to end up with another AQN or BCE scenario. could you kindly give us your advice on these names and include your thoughts on whether they are a buy (add to ), sell, or hold please.
cheers, Chris

Q: With respect to a plan to sell ENGH, a recent question said “ Recently Ceo left,and in my humble opinion,the whole Board should be gone too.” In fact it was the president Vince Mifsud who left and the CEO Steve Sadler is still there. Personally, I am adding to my position in ENGH as it is hard to find asset-light businesses with no debt, lots of cash and generating more each quarter, paying a 3.33% yield and with a 15% return on invested capital. IMHO investors should focus on owning quality businesses and trust management to prudently grow the business. Who knows why Mifsud left? I trust Mr. Sadler to wisely invest the surplus cash as opportunities arise.

Q: Howdy!

CIX is conducting a NCIB at a price of $17.50. Should this be seen as a good sign that CIX will actually go beyond $17.50 within a year and that I should not tender?


I got in ENGH at around $31. I am itching to bail. Is staying put for a few more quarters a better plan?

Thank you!

Q: Hi,
Is MG a buy? It looks like it has a reasonable valuation. Tailwinds? Headwinds?

I've been holding CIX for about a year now. Got in at about $20. Can we expect some upward movement given the share buybacks and the large economic context?

ENGH...is it reasonable to expect this stock to get to 35 or so any time soon?

Yours kindly,
David

Q: Hold all four in growth oriented TFSA for several years now. How much overlap do you see among them? How would you rank them first (best) to last? Are any need to own? If reducing number of these four holdings, which ones would you trim or eliminate? Any that could be increased as position size of each is less than 1.5% of total of all portfolios?

Q: You recently said that trimming the weeds in a portfolio is something to believe in. Is SYZ a weed? I have held this stock for more than ten years and 5i's coverage of it was one of the reasons for my original subscription. I like the unique sector SYZ operates in and its growth potential, but I am losing patience and wondering if it is time to move on. If I sold SYZ I would add to my other Canadian software holdings, namely OTEX, ENGH, TCS and AIF, but I hesitate because SYZ provides diversification and may yet turn around. As always, I welcome your insight.
