Investment Q&A

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

Q: If you were to speculate, can you list 2-3 companies for each that are the most likely to, or that make the most sense to, acquire them?
For GoEasy, would it be an alternative lender like home capital or equitable bank, or one or the big 5-6 banks?
For Shopify, would be another payment company like PayPal or MasterCard, a similar online Company like EBay, or a juggernaut like Amazon or Google who would swallow shopify up?

Thank you

Q: This is more of a comment than a question. I too watched the interview with Bruce Flatt and walked away very impressed. I found his calm, rational demeanor to be quite encouraging. When he stated that he is more cautious now than in 2009 he said it was because they knew then they were buying assets at $.50 on the $1.00. I simply took that to mean that we are not in a recession and no such bargains exists.....which is not a bad thing. However, he is realistic enough to know that markets move up and down and when the next recession or downturn happens (whenever that may be) they have access to plenty of capital, are global in reach and have "feet on the ground" to take advantage of it. Glad you recommended it for the portfolio.

Q: Gud has now 51% and yet BIO trades at $10.15 BRL, about 16% below the offer price.
What do you read into this. Is there an opportunity here ? Can I buy BIO, should I ?
Will GUD offer less than they offered the private previous owners ? When will GUD start reporting earnings from this acquisition ? Do they need all the shares to do so ?
Finally do you see more analysts stepping in now with this new acquisition, maybe one or two will make it their top pick in 2020 ? Thoughts?Thanks

Q: Good morning 5i,
Once again thank you for the excellent service and advice that you give so generously. This morning there was a question about putting Boyd into a TFSA. I had been wondering the same thing. But, you mention that you dont really see it as a high growth stock. I imagine I would be better to put Google in, if I want growth. That means another capital gain, however. The beauty of Boyd is that you have to take the cap gain anyway. Getting to be a long story here. But, how would Parklawn compare with Boyd in putting in a TFSA?
thanks
