Investment Q&A

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

Q: Considering the new partnership/investment/bailout with the Government of Canada, How do you see this playing out ?
- I noticed Air Canada stock held up fairly well, considering the Government did the deal at a discount to current stock price.
- It looks like some smart advisers/consultants did the deal, however I am surprised that the stock did not drop more today...
- How the market interprets things these days is a bit confusing to me...
Good thing Vegas is opening up more..., because I want to bet Red on the Roulette wheel as a potential proxy for Air Canada at this point...

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on the fundamentals of GSY and your opinion as a buy at today's price. Also having checked the INK Insider Report there seems to have been a lot of selling. Could you comment on this as well as total insider holdings. I know that GSY is in the business of lending money but does it also have debt and if so then is it a manageable amount.
Thanks.

Q: Good morning and thank you for your great service. My question is regarding your portfolios. I have a considerable amount of cash to invest and as I'm nearing retirement would like to lower my risk. I am thinking of investing approximately 50% in the stocks in your income portfolio. My specific question is regarding the individual stocks in the portfolio, are there any stocks in the income portfolio that you would not recommend buying at this time?

Thanks you,
Kevin

Q: Hi.
I bought GSY last year March - April when “the baby was being thrown out with the bath water”. My average cost was about $30. I sold at around $100. After I sold , I realized I did the most foolish thing. I didn’t need to sell , so why did I, was the question that kept bugging me. I sometimes can’t fathom why I do foolish things with my stocks. I told myself it’s not the end of the world and I can still buy the stock at around $127.( today’s price-April 9th). This time i Intend to hold for at least 5 years, or even longer. What are your thoughts on GSY over the next 3-5 years?
Thanks ,

Q: Looks like the Dollarama boys are selling again. The insider selling is now a consistent theme, even the son Neil (President) participates each round. I understand they still own a lot of stock but this constant selling doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling particularly when coupled with its anemic performance over the last 3 years. I've enjoyed holding thru the last 7 or 8 years but I'm now selling the same % they do each round and adding to my long term positions in COST and HD. Is 5i still positive on Dollarama?
