Investment Q&A

Q: Having followed this company for some time a 5% drop in a day is absolutely not the norm even on a bad day, which this is not. It follows a 2.5% drop yesterday. Something is going on here other than normal trading. Are sell volumes very high and in high blocks indicating some major holder is dumping shares?

Q: Hi Peter & 5i group.
The CEO of CGX was interviewed the other day, (which seemed to me to quite positive), if you happened to catch the interview, what is your opinion on taking a full position now.
Thanks,
Ken

Q: What are your thoughts on DHX.B? It has slid over the last few years but recently appears to be making headway over seas.

Q: In Leon’s recent comment about CSU.DB he said “So if the rate of inflation is 2% greater then the yr before and is 3.8 % then it is 6.5+ 2 NOT 6.5 plus 3.8”. You agreed with him.

However, the CSU.DB short form prospectus says “at a rate equal to the Cost of LivingcAdjustment (as defined below) (which amount may be positive or negative) plus 6.5% (“Floating Interest ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate applicable to the Debentures will at no time be less than 0%.”

The Cost of Living Adjustment is defined as “the annual average percentage change in the CPI Index during the 12 month period ending on December 31 in the prior year. For the 12 month period ending on December 31, 2014, the Cost of Living Adjustment was 2.0%.”

So in Leon’s example, the rate would be 6.5 plus 3.8.

The correct understanding of this point is of major importance to me, and maybe to others. Please check your answer to Leon carefully once again and let me know whether you stand by your earlier validation of his interpretation and if so, why.

Q: What are your thoughts on the drop in Savaria this morning?

Q: Hi, Could you please comment on Stella-Jones Earnings pre released in order to disclose the impact of new US Tax law. While company seems to indicate flat to lower profitability, new Tax law seems to have a positive effect. Thanks

Q: Morn folks,growing frustrated at the lack of deployment of Knight's massive cash pile. Medical/recreational marijuana is here to stay and would have been nice to see Goodman & Board think "outside the box",and bankroll a reputable start up marihoochie company,think there would be tremendous potential and would certainly re-juvenate the stagnent stock price. Goodman & Board seem to be thinking in the Past,and not the Future in terms of shareholders. Think we need need Peter or Ryan on Board of Directors to jump start this company haha. OK, done with my rant, thanks for great Service.

Q: Good Day, I have held GUD patiently since inception, awaiting performance similair to it's predecessor. I am getting impatient, still above water but wondering how long to sit on what seems like dead money. It is now just a 3% holding. Is patience still justified???
Thanks, Lavern

Q: For a dividend investor,would you consider this a good and safe investment given the stability of the company and the fact that an increasing interest rate environment should be inflationary?

Would you be comfortable taking a full position at these levels.

Q: Cpx has a pay out ratio in excess of 100%. Should this cause me to lighten up or sell my position. Will rising interest rates negatively affect this security?

Q: Hi Peter, I was contemplating selling half my GSY holdings and buying into AVO for diversity purposes, as I am up 40% on GSY. As far as growth and SP potential going forward, and comparing the two, is this a ok move? If I am going to sell off part of my GSY holdings I would be hoping that the funds I allocate (possibly into AVO) will perform equal or better to GSY going forward. I have also noticed AVO has ran up quite a bit; is it still a good buy here? It seems to be above the average analyst "targets" at the moment;

Q: Greetings to the 5i team:
Would you please provide your analysis, including growth outlook and potential risks, for Great Canadian Gaming (GC) vs People (PEO) for a 5 year plus hold in a TFSA? I love the following comment by Martin Braun in Market Masters and I wonder if it applies to either? "There's a lot of cheap optionality embedded in stocks. In other words, you're not paying for this happening, and you're not paying for that happening; you're paying maybe a teeny little bit for a third thing and maybe a little bit more for a fourth thing happening to the stock. If any of those four things were to happen you'd make good money because the market's not really paying for them."

Thanks,

Q: This stock was a top pick of Ryan on his recent appearance on BNN. I am considering starting a position. Do you agree that a 2.5% position would be a good staring point. Thanks.
