Investment Q&A

Q: Their stock hasn’t done much in the past 2 years, however their earnings and other financials seem to be pretty solid. Only paying out a small dividend with little growth is there something that I am missing with this stock (e.g. - its time is coming after its solid last report) or would it be beneficial to sell and start putting money into stronger performing companies in that sector (e.g. - A&W). I love what A&W is doing the last year (i.e. food and renovations). Your thoughts on both?

Q: Would you prefer the Xhy bond etf over the us Bond etf because of hedging currency? Or because the yield is higher for income investors? Would pimcos bond etc be more stable?

Q: Hi, I'm looking for low-fee ETFs similar to CBO in makeup and yield but priced in USD. Any suggestions? Specifically, I'm looking for somewhere to keep bi-monthly USD cash contributions to a USD TFSA before making equity purchase decisions (I don't like seeing cash sit in an account without getting any yield). My account has relatively low commission fees (none to purchase ETFs) so transaction costs aren't a huge concern. Maybe I'm thinking about this incorrectly, however, and any other suggestions on how to best hold monthly contributions would be appreciated. Much appreciated!

Q: Had a look at this today. Was surpirsied to see a yield just under 6%. I thought it had been marketed on the basis of about a 4% yield. I don't see our interest rates going anywhere for a while. Is this not a buy here? Can they grow dividend at all or is that doubtful?
Thanks
John

Q: I am wondering why the share buy back is being done. Does Dr. Peller's Holding Company, Jalger Limited, feel the stock is getting a little rich and he wants to offload a portion. I don't imagine the Doc needs the cash. Seems to me that this company has a tremendous amount of intrinsic value and as such, there is plenty of up side. Why now? Albeit the price is reasonable relative to the current price. Who knows what lurks in the mind of man. Notwithstanding I would appreciate your take.

Q: SPB shows an 8% yield with a chart that indicates the stock price is moving ever downward. Do you think the dividend is sustainable and is there a possibility that SPB will not survive in your Income Portfolio? I would very much like to buy this stock but the high yield and scary chart are keeping me away.

Q: How valuable in your opinion is their "Swiss water" decaffeination process? I think they also supply Tim Horton's and McDonald's, I imagine these contracts are more longer term? Could you please give a brief balance sheet and cash flow opinion on ten peaks. To me it looks good but I'd like to pay a "reasonable" price for it.
Thanks guys

Q: Hi 5i Team - CHR is pleasantly surprising me. Where do you see it in the next 6months - year and why is it performing so well?

Q: Hi Peter and Team, The last question asked was on Dec. 24. Since the Dutch Auction, the shares have steadily declined (surprising?) and I'm beginning to lose patience, as I unfortunately bought it at a peak. Are there any compelling reasons to hang on, or would a switch to something like OTC be a better move to stay in the same space? ABT is held in my RRIF.
Thanks.
