Q: I just saw a question on transcontinental. It seems like they are selling their packaging business, which I think they bought in 2019 as the new big thing. My question on it is whether the stock price generally falls following a payout and, if this is the case, you might not be any better off in waiting for the payout than selling now?
Thanks

Q: I have noticed in recent questions that you have been ranking Savaria and tcl lower than you have in the past. I am curious as to why the change? Awhile ago you had very high hopes for these two. To a layman, the reasons still seem valid: an aging population and new vision for packaging. Please don’t see this comment as a criticism. I realise that things change. I also have esteem and a high level of confidence in 5i. I am just curious about the elements that brought about this change.

Q: Good day and happy New Year to all the 5i staff. This is my first, and hopefully last multi stock question.

I am really beginning to take Trump seriously about tariffs. His reasons don’t hold up, but I believe he has unstated reasons of his own for wanting to do so. I don’t usually jump quickly but I have a bad feeling and am thinking of selling some Canadian holdings and buying US. I am wondering what you would think of this?

Even if my fear is justified, though, some of the stocks I am considering may do well under Trump’s regime, anyway. The above stocks are the ones i am considering and i would appreciate your views on whether they might do alright under Tariffs? Any other Canadian stocks you might think will react particularly badly?
Thanks for your great service

Q: I’m significantly underwater on these stocks. Can you please advise which ones you’d hold, and which ones you’d sell? Can you please also give 5 growth stocks in Canada and 5 in the US that you are high on right now in place of the above?
