Investment Q&A

Q: Hi, do you have a preference between these two? They are both well off their 52 week highs. I realize tax loss selling has probably contributed to this and/or they are just small caps caught up in the out of favour market sell off. Would you own both or consolidate into one? Or do you have another small cap preference to these two? I already own PNG and ZDC.

cheers....

Q: I’m only interested in Canadian compounders. Compounding companies that are mid to large cap that I am invested in are CSU, TOI, LMN, TFII, and ATD. Can you recommend 5-10 possibilities for 5-10 year compounders in the Canadian small cap space?

Q: Your portfolio manager(s) on the Growth portfolio have been very active lately. I own a lot of the growth but a bunch of new names have come up and I don't have room for all of them

Can you please prioritize of those names listed above which ones offer the best growth over the next 5 years.

Can you please list in order of highest to lowest conviction.

Thanks

Sheldon

Q: Could you list a few Canadian company's to buy now that may come roaring back from this downturn?

Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter,
Both MDA and FTG are experiencing negative momentum. Please compare their financial situation and future revenue projections. With year-end selling, which one would you prefer to buy at the current valuation for a 3 year hold and why? Thanks.

Q: Hello Team,

As part of my Small Cap Portfolio I own KSI, VHI, WELL which have traded sideways for a while. I also own PNG, ZDC and ZOMD which have done very well over the last few months (thanks!).

Would you continue to hold all 6, do you see any other small cap companies I should/could move into? (Was looking at GRID, FTG or any other small caps you like)

In total, this 6 stocks are 13% of my total portfolio.

Thanks again.

Q: What would you consider to be a good entry point for Firan Technology Group Corporation at this time? Thank You

Q: How would you rank these companies for growth over the next year?

Thanks.
David

Thanks

Q: Your analysis please for these stocks,preference for a 2 to 3 year hold and entry price. Thanx.

Q: Would you please take a look at FTG earnings on July 8 and outlook. Would you recommend a position and an entry price please. Also the same for Ray. Would you prefer one over the other? Thanx.

Q: Could I have your suggestions for 3 or 4 small cap growth stocks (probably tech) US or Canada? I have noticed PNG which I take to be a recent addition to your growth portfolio. I am reasonably risk tolerant. Thanks Jim

Q: For fun, a year from now what order will these stocks be in based on price appreciation, would your answer change if it was a 3 year term?

Q: FTG LOOKS LIKE A SLEEPER HITTING BIG POINTS ON MY SCORECARD. WHAT AM I MISSING? YOUR OPINION PLEASE PLEASE?

Q: Hello 5i,
There have been many negative questions regarding Tariffs and other non-Canadian officials. Wondering if it makes sense to look to those Canadian companies that would benefit from the upcoming April 28, 2025 event results.
Following is my list of questions for you – please feel free to take as many credits as you require since I typically don’t use many.
• The clear winner looks to be BAM/BN/BIP/BEP with the massive housing & project build plans. Some housing build plans look to be well beyond anything the private sector has ever seen. Outside of investing in BAM/BN/BIP/BEP are there any other companies that will experience increased growth rates? Perhaps Canadian Only Lumber Companies, Steel, etc.… Being careful to ensure the industrial carbon tax doesn’t offset any building growth rates.
• Looks like major projects are going to be built to save the country from the tariffs. Assuming these are going to be non-conventional energy would the companies such as BAM/BN/BIP/BEP/WSP, benefit the most? Are there any other companies to start looking at? Perhaps carbon capture companies?
• I wonder if there are any areas of benefactors increasing/decreasing the amount of tax havens in Canada? There are a fair number of mid/small companies that could setup a beneficial tax structure and become more profitable. My experience with setting up offshore structures is that there are setup/dismantle/maintenance costs with Lawyers and Accountants but perhaps other benefactors are investable. Are there any publicly traded Accounting or Legal companies to start watching?
• With proposed additional spend to media companies are there any benefactors? Will BCE benefit from the overall plan? Are there companies worth looking at in the media sector?
• With the additional military spend are there any companies in Canada to invest in? I have a small position in MAL which could benefit from Canada built fighter jets. Is BBD.B a good one to look at?
• After reviewing the proposed firearm buyback pricing list, the overall program looks to be worth ~$2B in 2025 for Canadians. My question is could there be benefactors to this spend? Maybe ~$2B is not enough to stimulate the economy considering the current spending levels but it reminds me of a COVID-like spend bump. Assuming a large portion of the funds will be redistributed back into the economy.
• Health care seems to be getting an increased focus compounded with the buy Canada therefore are there any pure Canadian pharmaceutical/healthcare companies that will benefit? I have a SIS position that I could add to if they are going to be benefactors. Are there any companies that provide safe site vending machines or building structures?

Q: Who are the major clients of Firan

Q: What’s your detailed analysis on Firan’s most recent earnings and long term outlook. Please comment on management, their technology and competitiveness in their industry. Any negatives you see in their future? Or is it a good long term hold?
