Investment Q&A

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

Q: I hold BRK.B and SPYV in a non-registered account and so far, BRK has had a much better gain than SPYV. Over the next 5 years, do you think SPYV or BRK.B will have the best total return? Is the high concentration of APPL in BRK.B a concern? Do you know where I can get an accurate list of BRK.Bs holdings?
Thanks!

Q: Overall, I prefer small and mid-cap Canadian stocks for growth and accept the risk that goes with this. Currently, I do not have anything in the tech space and would appreciate if you would suggest a few names.

Thank you,
John

Q: Seems to me finding stocks to create personal wealth over the long term is not that hard if a bit of effort is put into it, could be said all you need is common sense perhaps. Also seems to me the most common mistake for small diy'ers would be portfolio management, the buying and selling mostly, tax planning perhaps to a much lesser degree. 5i has provided many many good ideas as a long term member over the years, a few loosers too - dont want your head to swell too much. 5i deserves much credit to my success, thank you very much. Your investing ideas have provided several opportunities, I feel it's the portfolio managment skills you've taught me that was more important to create wealth. All that being said, could you expand on this remark you posted today, "we tend to leave some (minor) room to add if opportunities present themselves in the future" ?

Q: This company seems to be doing a lot of things right. The ceo Dan Matlow knows this space well, based on my conversations with him a few years ago. It's business is primarily in the UK but it is making some inroads in Ontario. How does one go about evaluating this business: what comparable companies and what ratios etc do you use? Thank you as I am not very good at determining values in the software industry.

Q: Dear 5I:
The CEO of IGM believes they have done enough acquisitions, and wants to do a pivot and concentrate more on organic growth. The dividend is good, and secure, B/S good, Price at a wide discount to NAV, The big drawback that I see is that it is much lower in price than it was 10 years ago. Ugh!!! Any "chance in your mind"that his dream could turn to reality.
Thanks, BEN.

Q: hi, would you consider these more on the risky side, or just smaller cap? I read Hammond EPS around 15 which seems fine to me. I can't find an EPS on LMN?
is this a decent entry point for each? if not, what price would be a more reasonable entry point?
cheers, Chris
