Investment Q&A

Q: HI Team

I hold a small position in Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP.un) and I would like your opinion on two questions.

What is your take on the long-term prospects of BIP.un if the Inter Pipleline takeover goes through? Will it be a negative or positive long-term impact if such a large deal happens?

Also, was BIP.un ethical in using total return swaps to avoid the minimum 10% holding disclosure rule? This seems like an underhanded way to gain control of Inter Pipeline.

Thanks

George

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! Hope you are enjoying your summer so far! I am looking for a little advice. I hold Riocan in my RRSP and having ridden it up and down, I am now back to breaking even . As you gaze into your crystal ball, what do you think it’s future prospects will be ? I suspect that interest rates will climb and adversely effect the stock price. Any suggestions for a replacement REIT? Or conservative dividend paying alternative suitable for an RRSP. Cheers, Tamara

Q: MTY Food Group reported excellent earnings today, and the stock climbed 17% as a result. This was despite the fact that there were still 359 of their locations closed at the close of the quarter due to covid. That number is now down to 258, as reopening continues. The eps was 93 cents for the quarter, which would be a run rate of $3.72 for a year, a p/e of about 17, which seems quite reasonable for a growing business. I'm thinking that the results should be significantly better once more of the locations are open, but it is hard to quantify that. How much better do you think the results might look once virtually all of the locations are open? If they are going to be making say, $5.00 a share, the stock looks quite cheap. Do you think this is a good buy at this price?

Q: Do you see the current price as a reasonable entry point for TRI or would you recommend waiting for a pullback?

Q: Hi team,

Grateful for your views on these companies. Are the strong growth and dividend sustainable ?
Which is the best buy now ?

Gratefully,

Q: Re: IPl takeover. I already have a full position in Pembina ,and am ,at this point quite reluctant to trigger any capital gain. In looking at both offers, it seems that the Brookfield offer could be the best for me. Is there anything that I might be missing ? Thank you for your help.

Q: 2021 was expected to be a good year for the agriculture industry. However it appears the heat wave in North America will reduce harvest. NTR comprises 4.5% of my growth portfolio. Would it be a good idea to reduce exposure in NTR?

Thanks for the service you provide.

Q: You’ve mentioned that you generally like to keep single ETF exposure to 15%. Since VGG and VGH invest in the same underlying ETF (VIG), should I keep exposure to 15% between them, or could they each still be 15%?

Q: Wow, that was some news about EIF's acquisitions. Good for EIF...and thanks for your previous comment to me about not seeing any reason to change (May 17, 2021).......Now with a weighting of 2.3% but with a risk rating that I would say is 3, moving up to 4 out of 5, I'm pondering increasing my EIF weighting....Me, like the 5.67% dividend, too.......What say you, aka your take please!!!......Tom

Q: I'm considering buying TMX but the share price hasn't moved since the company report was released in November 2020. If deploying the cash position in the income portfolio would you purchase more TMX? What 2-3 positions are most worthy of topping up at this time? Thank-you.
