Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello,
I've held shares in SLF for a couple of years now and even taking into account the dividends, I am slightly underwater.
From all indications, the latest quarter was good. If I listen to the pundits, the environment for the company, and insurance companies in general, is positive with interest rates increasing but yet the shares don't seam to go anywhere.

In your expert opinion, what would explain the lack of positive momentum for SLF? Is there something fundamentally wrong with the company? Is their large mutual fund business segment worrying investors because of competition from ETF's?

I am more than willing to give this company more time and am very interested in your thoughts.

I thank you in advance for your reply.

Q: Do you have estiamtes for GC's earnings tomorrow? I seem to remember that last quarter only had a few weeks of the new Ontario bundle included in them... am I correct on that? I have been wanting to add a position on the pullback, and earnings kind of crept up on me. Would it be a good buy heading into earnings, or would you wait until later in the week?

Thanks for your help!

Q: From Yahoo, they show the following:
KXS, 2018 EPS/.98 = PE 97.6 & 2019 EPS/1.33 = PE 71.9
Growth next 5 years est. of 19%

CSU, 2018 EPS/26.88 = PE 35.1 & 2019 EPS/31.94 = PE 29.5
Growth next 5 years est. of 16.6%
They say figures are CDN not US.

My question, what is the reason I should not sell all my KXS & buy CSU
based on above numbers?
Thank You

Q: Prices are down quite a bit from their highs.
Do you think one of the reasons for the decline is a switch by some investors from growth to value?
If so and faced with higher interest rates in the future it might time for you to consider starting a value equity model portfolio

Q: Although Magna is well up on the year, share price has fallen significantly since June. I do not like to sell when RSI is 26, however given the recent direction of the share price and uncertainty of NAFTA, I am considering selling my shares while I am still in a positive position. MG comprises a 1/4 position in my portfolio. I would appreciate your assessment of MG. Thank you.
