Investment Q&A

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

Q: Goeasy is a great buying opportunity under $120 ($119.30 as I write) with a 3% dividend, 7/8 years of dividend increases plus great management, great growth, etc. I'm thinking people are afraid of inflation (I'm 70 so been there) or repositioning funds. Even with a full weight 5% posn I am tempted to add. Your thoughts on going over weight.

Q: Can you comment on Amazon taking another run at SHOP. This one seems more established than the last attempt to replicate. Also throwing it in free for Prime users could be appealing to new business owners. How concerning is this?

Q: I notice in your answer to Jacques ISD about what "buy and forget" stocks you would suggest in the US and Canada, conspicuously SHOP is missing from that list.

I detect from the tone on many of your answers you are becoming less and less positive on this name.


So, why was it not on your list to him, and am I right with my observation and if so, why?

Thanks

Q: You mentioned "rate declines" in one of your comments on TFII yesterday. What exactly are the rate declines you refer to? Thanks.


5I RESEARCH ANSWER:

TFII is getting hit on rate declines and recession fears, so much depends on an investors' time frame. It may stay weak in the short term. But we think $95 would be quite attractive, and it could get there on some market weakness.

Q: I have trimmed some of my oil % gas stocks today back to my sector weight and would like to rotate the proceeds to other stocks. I already have the Balance Portfolio of stocks including MG at full position and was thinking of buying some LNR to complement MG or do you think there are other stocks in the Balanced Portfolio that you would consider more compelling at this time? Could you name your preference? Thanks.

Q: GSY stated in their Q4 financials that interest rates would need to rise by 2 per cent before any material impact would be felt in the business (due to floor agreements and fixed rates in place on current funding sources). Since then rates have risen .75 % and it looks like they will increase further. What is your guesstimate of how much higher they will rise to? If your guesstimate is above the 2% threshold, then how badly would that effect the business. How would that change your earlier thought that $125 share price would be an excellent buy.
