Q: I currently hold TCN in my TFSA but am considering a switch to SIS. I understand these are two totally different companies but am looking for a little more torque to the upside with SIS. Your thoughts ?
Q: Hello team, Results seem disappointing.....your thoughts please. Is it worth holding or better to put the money to work somewhere else?
Thanks, Silvia
Q: Hi, can you explain the almost 4% drop of CGX today? Would you buy on this drop, or wait until earnings on the 7th? What are the expectations for their earnings?
With BEP's earnings announced Wednesday morning with a slight near-term miss but positive outlook for 2018+ and potential deal flow in India down the road, can you shed any light on what is driving today's (thursday) selling pressure. Price action is -3% on what seems to be no news. Arf! Arf! Arf! Is this year-end portfolio manager action? Volume a little higher than normal. Maybe I'm just scared of the wind...
The only pipeline company I own is IPL. I have been looking at ENB for a while but can't make myself pull the trigger yet. One of the reasons I originally chose IPL instead was that it had (and still has) a much lower P/E ratio, reflecting much lower growth expectations. ENB currently sits at a P/E of roughly 35 which makes no sense to me. Do you think part of the reason for the price decline over the summer is due to investors reassessing growth (multiple compression) or am I over-emphasizing P/E when looking at pipeline companies?
Can you recommend a template that I can use to determine sector allocations? Should allocations be within a particular account or for my entire portfolio?
Your thoughts on Gildan's most recent numbers and is it a buy, sell or hold! It's a 2% weighting in my portfolio. (My portfolio copies your Balance fund)
Q: Hi 5i,
Your new site looks great, congratulations. I heard on BNN that enbridge missed estimates. They also said that enb has an enormous amount of debt. Should I be worried? Should I dump my stock?
Thank you
Jane
Q: Hi, I own both these companies, am now flat or slightly negative. Would you suggest
more patience, or time to move on to better opportunities? Any suggestions for replacements, they are both part of a full portfolio with the goal of dividend as well as capital appreciation. Thanks, Lavern
Q: Mid day Nov.2 ENB is down well over 4% on the day. Would you consider this a buying opportunity or are there issues that are of concern? We are wondering about adding some units for income and potential capital gains and will appreciate your guidance.
Thank you, Len
Q: Just a follow-up to John's question on KXS earlier today regarding the decrease in Professional Services Revenue. I'm under the impression this is a strategic initiative by the company and should in no way be construed as a negative.
Below is the press release from their 2nd quarter earnings release explaining the initiative.
"Second, our strategic partners are increasing their role in deploying new customer implementations, and gaining the related Professional Services revenue as a result. This positive trend has occurred earlier than we anticipated - which in turn has reduced our outlook for professional services revenue growth for 2017. While this has a short-term revenue impact – we are excited by the acceleration of partner contributions to our business. This also creates a stronger mix of subscription revenues in our business model."
Q: I quote from the latest release, "Professional services revenue was $7.4 million in Q3 2017, a decline of 17%". With other metrics rising, how could this be?
Q: Not a question, just a comment. It seems that many members are now complaining about GUD slowly drifting downwards. When you recommended GUD you were very clear that it was a long term investment and Goodman would be very selective in how he allocated the war chest, and I invested with that in mind.Yet a year or two into the investment people are complaining about the lack of growth. I am comfortable with my position even though I am down a little. I take your advice, do my own DD and make a decision. It seem that patience is sometimes one of the harder concepts to grasp for investors.
