Investment Q&A

Q: Good Morning 5i,

Sorry to ask another question on TSGI but my question is regarding the debt. I believe the debt/EBITDA is just over 6x. Is this not concerning? Why would you not be concerned by this?

Thanks!

Q: The Saudi/Canada conflict definitely will have a bearing on the contract with COV. What are your thoughts on this. Is it still a hold or Sell

Q: Regarding your comments to Kuldar this morning, while my inclination is that the shares should normalize at some point, would you hold or seek other opportunities? (I invest with a focus on momentum, safety, earnings / sales, management, etc.)
Thank you

Q: I do not see any REIT in the Income and Balanced portfolios. I would like to know why.
Thank you

Q: I have 2.5% positions in TD and BNS and no other Canadian financials. I have had Sun Life on my watch list for awhile. Not sure why it is drifting lower after last quarter's results. Would now be a good time to add it, or would it be better to continue watching the negative momentum. Or maybe it would be advisable to top up BNS and TD instead? Maybe you could speculate on why SLF is declining. I am not sure how they are doing in Asia, but I imagine there is a fair bit of potential there, if they can tap into it.. Thanks, as always, for great service.

Q: Follow up questions:
Thank you for your answer.
Are the expectations of 6 to 10 cents provided by the company or are you doing your own calculation to get this number ?
Also, as a business scale and grow, do you try to estimate future margin and profit (say 3 years out) or is it a futile exercise given that there are so many variables...
I am trying to get better at assessing companies like Reliq. I usually pass on them as they always seem too risky for me and 1-product company most times.
Any advise or general comment would help. Thank you
Pierre

Q: Greetings, Peter & Co.
Are there any major concerns you would have with a purchase of ECN Capital? Is the dividend considered 'safe'?
With appreciation.

Q: TFI - TFSA or Unregistered account?

Bought 2.5% position in Cov on spec at $7 based on 5i's recommendation. Hold on or take the money and run?

RHT / TSGI- average down or be patient?

Thanks. Keep up the excellent work.

Best Regards,

KC

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan,

I bought TSGI at 40 in my RESP account and it is down 20%. I was thinking of buying at current price of about 32 in my TFSA account. However, Scotiaitrade research team rating on TSGI is HOLD (Thomson Reuters, Valueengine). I would appreciate your opinion in terms of should I wait for some good news before I add more money into this stock.

Thanks
Ninad

Q: What would be your suggestion for a 5 yr hold split between the growth/ balanced portfolios with a modest amount of $50,000 . I realized that it is small amount for proper diversification and how many names would be adequate . Thank you !

Q: Hi team
I have some extra cash to be deployed

this stock has been on a downward spiral
I have half position in PBH already also in decline, consumer staples should do well
in the summer months, but)
wonder if I could increase my position in PBH or start a 1/3 or half position in QSR
which one would you prefer for a 3 years plus hold with some consideration for a small
dividend income as well, thanks

Michael

Q: Can you please explain how you value this company in terms of ratios and financial metrics ?

Q: Why is after the strategic alliance announcement with QUNIE Corporation on 9/05 met with a selloff? We kind of expect a pop in SP, could it be just a drag down by the hit in the U.S. tech stocks the last two days? What is your take on this?
