Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have a problem sometimes with the "HOLD" part of the buy,sell or hold question. In my mind in business, if you do not sell something,you are effectively buying it as you could have sold it and bought something else. I realize part of it is the fee we give our brokers for buying/selling and not jumping on or off the wagon too often. Having said that , three of my holdings ,AIM,CJR.B and DII.B have not done me well and I would appreciate your thoughts as to whether any of them should be dumped in favour of WB. If so, which one
Thanks for all you do

Q: I am looking for a few income picks to add to my portfolio. However I am concerned about the eventual hike in interest rates and a certain amount of capital flight from income stocks that would ensue. Would you agree that financials generally and insurance companies in particular would do well in a rising rate environment? Any more specific thoughts are appreciated. Thanks again for your great service.

Q: Hi 5i,
On May 06 you mentioned that BEP.UN is "ok but not great". The rating on the last report was maintained at "A" (highest ranking). Would the rating be lowered if you were to rank it as of right now? Do you think it is a good buy in opportunity from the recent decline?

Thanks,

Q: Hi 5i: RBC Direct Investing provided a report on Avigilon that quoted an analyst to the effect that security cameras have now become commoditized. Cameras sold by Chinese firms such as Hikvision, Vivotek and Uniview now sell for 30% - 40% less than the cameras sold by Avigilon. It may be that these cameras lack the supporting software provided by AVO and that it is this support feature that gives AVO an edge and that makes up for the difference in price. Do you have any information on this aspect of the comparison. But if it comes down to a simple price war between hardware vendors then I don't fancy AVO's chances

Q: Hello Peter and team

This just in from my alert settings;

Avigilon's Board of Directors believes the current price of Avigilon's common shares (the "Shares") does not properly reflect the underlying strength, operational track record, and growth potential of the business. Accordingly, the Board believes the purchase and cancellation of Shares under the Bid will be in the best interests of the Company and its remaining shareholders.

Looks like good news amongst all the hate!
