Investment Q&A

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

Q: Do you consider either railway a good new investment right now? I used your interactive chart to compare the two, and if you bought CNR 10 years ago you are probably pretty happy, but over the last 5 years CP outperformed, and ytd CP has ground up a bit while CN has drifted down. In the current interest rate environment I don’t think anyone is buying either for the dividend? Is there an investment thesis here somewhere or are there just plain better ideas? Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: Just curious if you can enlighten me on the liquidity/risk of individual preferred shares? Are they liquid and what would you be looking for at this stage of the interest rate cycle. They seem to be beaten down pretty good, and the yields are compelling. Also, would you do perpetual fixed or floater/resets and why? thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
What’s your thesis on Empire? I’ve held the position for several years and it seems to be the perennial underperformer of the grocers (MRU, L). Trying to decide whether it’s time to cut the position and move on to better opportunities.

Thank you!

Q: Good day team,

A few companies I'm invested in are in a loss position so far.

AQN 42% loss
AD 16% loss
CJT 22% loss
GSY 22% loss

At this point which stock do you think I should keep, which one sell, and which one replace and with what?

I'm retired and 73 years of age.

Take as many points as needed.

Thank you

Q: What is your current assessment of George Weston. Its share price is down about 20% since its high of 4-5 months ago, and seems to be in a downward trend. It has a fairly small dividend. How does it look to you? Are there any reasons you to continue to hold this? Do you have any other defensive names that you prefer? Thanks,
