Investment Q&A

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

Q: HI Folks, I have been following SPB and CUS for some time and own both at a considerably higher price than current. CUS has obtained court approval and voted for the merger but we are awaiting regularity approval. Could you explain what is the process that they are going through. Do they have to apply to a government agency in Canada and does this have to be done in the US as well? Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i, Can I get your analysis on Richards. One thing I noticed going thru the financials is that the distribution is a return of capital and not a dividend. Could you clarify that as well and the implications on my investment as I understood it to be them simply returning my money as opposed to getting a dividend from profits. Thanks

Q: Both companies are in the same business, and have similar dividends.

I know that SIS is now in one of your portfolios. Was this a difficult decision - choosing between the 2 companies? Wuld you see as bright a future for PM as you do for SIS?

Could you build a case to own both?

Thanks.

Q: As a follow-up to the earlier Whitecap comment, it's only fair to point out that the proceeds from the financing are being used for an acquisition. Whitecap had a Working Interest in the assets being acquired from Husky so it made very good business sense to opportunistically consolidate control of the property which will now be 90%. Also, a number of insiders also bought stock this month.

Q: So the B.E. Model Portfolio has had a cash balance of at least 9% that was deployed Feb. 18. Who knew cash had been building as it has been several years since this was reported in the monthly numbers? Personally I think this would be useful for members to know if cash is being accumulated; for members who want to emulate the p/f's this can be critical information and I urge 5i to add a reporting line for cash held.

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan and Team, a follow up to your PHM answer just provided. The question is have you followed up with management for clarification regarding this 'hidden' information, considering PHM is in the growth portfolio? Any further insight from you would be greatly appreciated as I have slowly been building a position in PHM. Time to use caution on this one?
Comment: Hate the hidden way they provided this information and this in-of-itself should be a cause for concern!! Sorry, but this is Not management inexperience in my opinion! Seems calculated and the market is reacting! Thanks!
