Investment Q&A

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

Q: Please comment on the following possible risks to owning GSY:
1) Balance Sheet - 5i’s January report indicates it is strong, but Debt/Equity (as of Sept/21) is almost 160% (considering Long Debt only). My understanding is a ratio of 25% or less is good.
2) Interest Rates - Rising rates are generally good for Financials like Banks/Insurers since they hold lots of cash. I don’t think GSY holds deposits, so does that mean rising rates are bad for it?
3) Loan Defaults - Related to rising rates, wouldn’t GSY’s client base be quite vulnerable here?

Q: I'm looking to start a position in 2 or 3 of these companies. It would be in a TFSA. I already have 12 stock positions from your Balanced Equity portfolio in RRSP accounts.

Q: Hi Team,

What do you think about ET, BCE, EIF? I already own a position in EIF and BCE and was thinking to add more or start a position in ET. This would be an acquisition in my non-registeted account and for a 10-15 time frame. I am primarily a dividend investor, but do look for some growth potential.

Thank you for your diligence and the service you provide!

Terri

Q: Hi Team,
I remember LSPD going to $12 in March 2020 and how surprised you were.
Today, when you state that you will be "reviewing everything", it makes me worry. You mention the report will be updated as soon as possible but that could take days.
Would you be able to provide insight to your members (sell/hold/buy more) sooner that waiting for a report?
Thanks

Q: In a previous comment, you speculated that the Board may have made the CEO change. Were you surprised with the departure of Dasilva from the CEO position? Based on past results, did you see this as a possible move? What do you think was the catalyst that triggered the change? Will you be updating your report on LSPD and if so, what is the timing? Is it a buy (probably not), hold or sell?
