Investment Q&A

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

Q: I sold POT yesterday, made a decent profit and of course rec'd the dividends. I am wondering if I should deploy the capital to something you could suggest that has the safety with growth or should I wait until you offer your investment service. Do you expect that to be this month or a later time frame? Thanks again.

Q: ATP
What do you think about ATP as a buy. It dropped 32% today because of a big dividend cut and ? Is this an overreaction that is presenting a good buying opportunity or something else?

Q: Hello,

I was wondering if Enterprise (E.TO) and Easyhome (EH.TO) are good buys at current level? If yes what will be a good time frame for them?

Peter, I know that you don't like target prices and understand why, but can't we have a convention (at least for this site) that a 12 month target price, doesn't mean that the stock must be sold at that time. The conditions may improve by that time and there will be a new target (of course the reverse can also be true).

With that in mind are you willing to put a target price for them? Also, if this idea catches on, do you think we can have a Excel file with the most asked stocks and their target price? This way if conditions change, one would not have to sale just because the target price has been met.
Just and idea.

Thank you and I hope your ride goes smoothly.

Q: Hello 5i team,
Kudos to Peter for his adventure across Canada for such a worthy cause.
I have a question that may be better suited for a Canadian Money Saver article but I thought I would ask here to see if either the 5i team and/or members have suggestions.

I am looking for information about security considerations regarding keeping money safe in self-directed online brokerages. This may include either a checklist of security features to look for and/or an article/service that assesses and ranks the various brokerages based on current security features. I am not overly well-versed when it comes to understanding potential cyber threats, but definitely want to do what I can to keep my money safe. I imagine this will become a bigger issue as online brokerages become more popular. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rory

Q: There's an interesting take on CSU rights I found in my inbox from Seeking Alpha (here: http://seekingalpha.com/article/2490895-constellation-software-rights-a-low-risk-high-reward-special-situation?uprof=44) that argues the rights should be trading at 94 cents. One little aspect it ignores is that if you purchase rights as opposed to having received enough to purchase adequate debentures you will be receiving less than 1% interest in the first year on your market price vs. the 7.4% coupon on par. Also they compare this issue with a Microsoft bond without highlighting the difference in credit quality.

This email went to hundreds of thousands of Americans, so we'll see if the rights lift off 55 cents on Monday!

Q: Hello 5i team,
In the sector classified by Globe Investor as "other services", I hold BYD.UN (B+) and CGX (A-) and think of adding KBL (A-) and FSV (B) which I consider as steady eddies discreetly flying under the public radar. Would it be OK to buy them at current prices?
Thanks as usual,
Tony

Q: Re SYZ, On September 5th, the volume jumped to almost 600,000 on the sell side, almost 20 times the 100 day MA of about 31,000. There was a question/comment on this site talking about a new issue yet my source for news (Scotia iTrade) talks about a trading halt on the 4th with a resumption on the 5th. No other news. Can you fill in the blanks? Where, if I am not getting all the news from Scotia iTrade, can access ALL the news?
