Q: Hi,

I've just converted a significant amount of cad to USD. This is cash I plan on deploying in the event of a market correction. In the mean time, I am looking for a usd vehicle to park my cash, with the primary goal being capital preservation. Do you have any suggestions? I was thinking something like horizon's HFR etf-does something équivalent exist for USD? Please advise if such an etf exists, and what your preferred vehicle would be.

Thank you
Karim

Q: Trying to add to my knowledge base with your superb guidance .... so this is a follow up to my earlier question where I asked if CN and CP were oversold; but I neglected to mention that I had been looking at the W% and the RSI for both companies. To my untrained eye, they appeared to be oversold or close to being oversold. Would you please take a look at these parameters and let me know what you think.

Thanks again.

Q: What is the payout ratio on these two stocks? When i research there is conflicting information from a payout ratio of 60-70% to a high of over 175%.

What is the forward 1 year P/E ratios on these? Is this an important figure to watch?


Morningstar reports BIP.UN and BEP.UN free cash flow dropping 3 consecutive years and BEP.Un reporting Negative earnings. Would a short seller like the one on EIF pounce on this or do you view these companies as more safe?

Are these still good investments on a 10 year plus time horizon and would it be better held in a registered or unregistered account.

thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
It looks like Alaris has missed on Q2 relative to expectations. But it also looks like the analysts’ have failed relatively miserably in attempting to provide useful guidance about this company on a quarter by quarter basis. Please give me your assessment of management’s comments under “Outlook,” specifically in relation to the forecast for 2017 FY revenues of $90M and an “annualized payout ratio” of “under 90%”. Also, I realize that predicting market reaction is speculative but, if AD can achieve results in accordance with the stated Outlook, do you think that would be sufficient to provide a significant measure of recovery for the share price. Thanks!
