Investment Q&A

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

Q: CWB had a weak quarter with lower net interest margins than expected and weaker guidance as well. EPS of $0.84 missed estimates of $0.90.It appears loan and deposit growth came in lower than expected but the company expects higher rates to act as a bit of a tailwind over the year. On proximity to the oil sector, this type of activity can have a lagged impact but also financing activity might be more muted as energy companies are more focused on shareholder returns compared to capital investment

I asked the question show above you did not answer my question as to why CWB results were so bad please answer the question on CWB

Q: Hi Team
Would you take a position in VCLT ? I believe it is yielding around 4.8%
Or is there a high default risk on the Corporate Bonds.
I noticed a lot of the bonds were rated BBB
Thanks Gord

Q: Hi 5i,
I would like an update on which horse you might bet on between these three.
Please rank #1 as the horse that is likely to be the marathon race winner. Can you please also give a higher preference to the horse that has the best balance sheet and stability in this challenging economic environment. High level reasons would also be greatly appreciated so I can understand your thought process. thanks

Q: There has been little said regarding the proposed TD acquisition of FHN. Could you offer some more insight on whether this makes TD a buy, the potential add to EPS, how they plan to pay for it, how the buy-out premium works and most importantly, what are the odds that it will close? Other 5i comments would be welcome.

Q: Could I get your comments about buying PDI.UN in an RRSP? The price has come down substantially (as might be expected), it is trading near its NAV, and it appears to have never missed a dividend. I recognize the high fees, but the 12% yield has caught my attention. What do you think of its holdings (in general and how risky), do you think the dividend is sustainable under current conditions, and would you see the price moving back up a bit if rates don't go much lower? If buyable, would you buy now or wait a bit longer on rates.
Thank you

Q: I almost missed the notice that the Directors of DM had purchased almost 2.5 million shares of the company last month which I see as positive but I also noticed when reading the FSZ information circular that 3 of the 4 Directors I was asked for vote for did not own a single share of FSZ. Needless to say they did not get my vote and I will now look to sell my FSZ in the near future. If the Directors aren't willing to own shares in their company then neither will I.
