Investment Q&A

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

Q: Never fall in love with a stock, i feel i5 has on this one. Say treating it like cash for buying an idea later, why not buy a solid income stock with a good dividend and treat it as a cash account as you say, at least you are getting something. Speaking of cash rich companies, how about buying Apple and hold it for cash, and also a dividend, no shortage of cash there.

Q: To take Goodman's "grandchildren" analogy to heart, then, ... I'm assuming he's telling us to bail if we don't have grandkids? : /

What if our grandkids are already taken care of, and we'd like to see better results now?

Five years seems to be an awfully long time for compost to ferment, in my mind. I'm an organic gardener, so no disrespect intended here. ; )

Your thoughts, please, on his silly analogy. This slow-burning genius seems to be fizzling out, like a dud firecracker. Surely investors deserve a little something for being so patient -- maybe even a little respect.

Q: Cipher's quarterly report highlights transitions and strategic positioning for long term growth, also debt reduction. Their list of 2018 year end highlights appears impressive but does it read that way to you? This company looks busy for their size but what significants do you take from the list of 2019 anticipated milestones? Would you dip a toe in here? Finally how similar are CPH and GUD in strategic growth plans?

Q: Celgene appears to be stumbling higher, presumably towards the value assigned to it from the Bristol Myers merger. In past months, you previously suggested holding on; is that still your view? Also, can you suggest a source for information on the tax treatment from the merger for Canadian taxpayers who hold Celgene? Thanks,

Q: Could I get your thoughts on how HHL might behave in a recession. I understand Healthcare as a sector would be a Defensive sector however I also understand 5i is not to crazy about the cover call aspect, believing it would not protect again the down side. So how would HHL behave? Would the price fall greater than the average defensive share price, or would investors still consider it a defensive play and hold steady the price. Or would the cover call aspect cease to work and the dividends reduce? If it's more an impact on the dividends, is there a way of telling how much the
cover calling is adding to the dividends and therefore what dividends could be expected in times of a recession. Thanks
