Investment Q&A

Q: Peter Lynch question
In Peter's graphs he plots stock price on the right axis and earnings on the left axis. He is looking to see if if the earnings line is above the stock price line (a stock to review further).

He uses $1 in earnings per share to $15 in stock price. This would mean that the earnings line is equal to a stock price P/E ratio of 15.

Question what variable of P/E do you think makes sense to use - or is it industry sector based.

I guess a follow up question would be - is this a good idea to look at companies that the earnings line is above the stock price?

Thank you

Q: Hello 5i team, I have a question I can't wrap my head around. How can a support a dividend if they have negative income? I know that in most cases they have to raise equity or debt to maintain the payout. But how can it be that cash flow supports a payout ratio but its net income doesn't? Take BEP.UN for example.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
Can you provide me with some information on what you would say are your sell recomendations? I searched by rating and found only 3 stocks in the d category with the most recent update of Oct/12 and 1 stock in the f- category with an updtae of Jan/12. Have there been no other losers or stocks to sell? How often do you go through the model portfolio and provide updates? What level A,B,C, etc do you think a sell fits in?
Thank you,
Colin

Q: In my investment portfolio I own preferred shares, bought for safety and peace of mind in my investments. The preferred shares are from good stocks such as bce, banks, brookfield. The preferred shares make up about 10% of my portfolio. All these pref shrs are down quite significantly right now. Am I correct in my understanding that on the five year maturity these shares can be redeemed for $25. If this is right, would it be a good investment to buy more of these pref shrs right now while they are down in value and make more capital gain?

Thank you for your help

Q: As a dual citizen (I took out US citizenship when I lived there in the 1980s) I pay taxes in both countries. I have hesitated to buy US equities because of the witholding on dividends, which I never get back. But your recent answer reminded me that I would probably be stuck with a capital gains tax as well. Is that true as far as you know?

Q: Do you know how much money is on margin in the Cdn market and what kind of a percentage drop would occur is all that borrowed money left the Cdn market? Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter,

I know that US company dividends are taxable like interest income in a non-registered account. Is it the same for capital gain?

Regards,

Gervais

Q: hello 5i:
I believe you have answered this question in the past, but don't know how to look it up. Considering that you have an "average" company with average prospects (if such a thing existed), what is a reasonable price/cash flow? What would be undervalued and overvalued on a price/cash flow? I realize there are a number of variables affecting the answer; I'm just trying to simplify things.
thanks
Paul

Q: Comment, by another Philip to Philip's tax planning comment. Canada Revenue Agency’s prescribed interest rate for these interfamily loans will only be increasing on Oct. 1, not disappear as suggested in his post. - Cheers.
