Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi 5i! This question is for an educational purposes, as I'm always trying to better my humble valuation skills. Unfortunately, I can't find the quote in the question to confirm my saying but here goes anyway: You have recently (I'm pretty sure!?!) qualified the shares of TSGI as being cheap. On what metrics do you base your evaluation. I see that a PE of 18ish for a growth stock like TSGI is on the cheap side. Are there any other metrics?

Many thanks!

PS.: I already own a full position in TSGI that I bought a couple of years ago. No intention to buy more or sell any time soon.

Q: I've asked this before. Given the current situation, particularly concerning Canada's negotiations with the US on trade, what is your opinion regarding the Canadian dollar? I've invested fairly heavily over the past year in US equities and bond funds with the assumption that the Canadian dollar is headed down. I understand that calls on forex are difficult, particularly due to political considerations, but I am interested in your perspective.

Q: In my last question you indicated that mittleman has 0.05% of the shares. They actually own 16-17% ie 27M shares and just joined the board as an activist, changed the CEO etc. This play is very reminiscent of Buffett’s Blue Chip Stamps. So I’ll ask again, what’s with the buying and selling of shares. They have made some big buys in the past month, but they appear to be selling some, or is this just administrative adjustment of shares in their fund?
