Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi

Two months ago I invested a severance that closely followed your balanced portfolio. It has done well. I recently had a pension transferred to a LIRA and want to invest that too. A part of me is hesitant to invest the LIRA in equities such as CSU or GC as examples given their terrific gains already. 8 weeks ago CSU was $900 and I thought I was taking a risk then but it went up even higher so it worked out. My question is when is it too late to hop on the 5i train? especially if you are a relatively new subscriber such as myself. Note, I still do my own research and make my own adjustments on my portfolio.

I'm really glad I subscribed. It has been a great decision thus far.

Thanks!

Q: Would you consider the Stars Group still a reasonable buy at its current share price?

Would you consider the Stars Group a potential take-over target?

Thank you so much. I still hold the Stars shares I bought many years ago when your dream team recommended it. It has been a wonder stock - right up there with Constellation Software and many other winners you have recommended.

Well done and thanks, Peter

Q: Keeping in mind the extended length of the current bull market, the often bewildering ‘noise’ emanating from our once friendly neighbour to the south, and a myriad of other moving parts, I’m finding it difficult to identify Canadian companies that can survive and continue to grow over the long term. I would greatly appreciate it if you would share with me a list of dividend paying Canadian companies that are so well-managed and have such strong stories that you believe they have an excellent chance to continue to grow and flourish well into the future. I would consider these companies to become core holdings and held for 5 to 10 years. Hopefully, your choices would represent multiple sectors.

Q: I am challenged to know what to do about my shares in Richards. My ACB is down to about $3 (out of pocket costs are even lower) so the dividends are almost free money now, and as I approach retirement, I love the cash flow. Despite selling some shares over the last couple of years, it is again 50% over what I would consider a full position. Should I just put it away and enjoy it or sell some/all and put the money into something with a more robust or safer dividend? (BTW, I also own CCL.B but not for as long and I don't have nearly as big a gain on that one.)

Also I can't find any news to explain its recent gains. Are you aware of anything I've missed.

Thanks for your help,
Dave
