Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello 5i team.
I submitted a question within the past week, and mentioned I was down 10% it is actually over 20% and your stock answer was "it is up 40% in a year". I don't quite understand that statement when my purchase price was $29.00 in June/15.
I cannot really see how this was ever up 40%, and I feel if a stock falls from a high of $32.00 to $21.00 that something has happened within this company. "Just sayin"
Can you advise how oftain you actually reach out to management of the companies that you recommend.
Thanks and really do appreciate your service

Q: Currently down on this one 10% now, and read you last reply of Nov.17-. For whatever reason tax selling must be out of the way by now, and I cannot find anything good on this one. I have read some tweets of insider selling, and wonder if I should cut my loses before it gets worse, and get on with life. I really hate selling at such large loses, but seems to be the story of my life lately.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

SPB hasn't been performing too well lately, and I'm wondering if their recent announcement "Superior Plus Announces December 2015 Cash Dividend and Reestablishment of Dividend Reinvestment Program" will help the stock going forward. The DRIP will apparently have a 4% discount. Should I hang on to my position in SPB in an otherwise balanced portfolio, and enroll in their DRIP? SPB is held in my RRIF but their are other dividend payers that cover my mandatory withdrawals.

Thanks as always for your valuable advice.

Q: Hi, I have my portfolios set up similarly to the three 5i portfolios. With the recent drop, I'm looking to invest more cash. Could I please get your top 5 picks from each of the three portfolios? Also, thanks for updating the site for mobile, it's so much easier to navigate than before. Cheers,

Q: I own DR, NWH.UN, CSH.UN, SIA, and a small bit of EXE. I hold them for income. What other names in this sector can you suggest as reasonable additions to the stable. Income is my primary focus, but I am not averse to capital gain as any addition will be in my margin account.

TIA for any suggestions

Q: Some of the BNN language that they use are a "trailing P/E". Please explain. Is a lower or higher number better? Same goes for a forward one year P/E - higher or lower number better? A PEG ratio. Please explain. What is better a higher or lower number? Two for one questions -- I have for one year now - DRT and IT which are down 30% and you say everything should be looked at as holding for 5 years. In other words, four years from now will these stocks be in the green? Will they be in the green enough to be as good or better than a GIC for the same time period? Thank you. Dennis
