Investment Q&A

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

Q: Wondering if you have any info/thoughts on the lawsuits (current and future) re BA and the Max issue. Specifically, I anticipate that the airlines which fly the Max will be suing Boeing for lost revenue/extra costs as they compensate for not having the Max fleet in the air (more lawsuits once the return to service date is determined (if returned to service). I read more and more airlines are planning to not use the Max until Jan/Feb 2020 pending FAA approval. Still considerable uncertainty. Essentially a question on the impact of future lawsuits from major airlines.

Q: I’m considering starting a 2% position in this company for a 10 year hold in my rrsp.

I like the space they’re in but it seems like they have a lot of debt and the dividend payout is >100% (according to yahoo). Is this accurate / concerning at this point?

I’d appreciate your thoughts.

Cheers

Also it shows they only have 50 employees. Do you see that as a risk in itself? If a competing company poached 3 or 4 employees that is a big hit to their workforce.

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! Happy Thanksgiving! There are two companies developing cannabis detecting breathalyzers( that I know of) One is Canadian..Sanntek and a larger US company Hound lab....Is there any opportunity to invest in either of these companies at the present time? I have a feeling that they are privately owned. Could you give me some insight and your opinion? Cheers, Tamara

Q: I currently hold a full position in NFLX. But competitors, like DIS. with stronger balance sheets are or likely to undercut Netflix’s prices. NFLX shares are down in the past three months after falling short of subscriber growth targets in the second quarter. With this change in business circumstances for NFLX, should I continue to hold NFLZ long term or switch to DIS or take a half position in both..........thanks for your take..........Tom

Q: HPQ was slowly working its way higher until it was hit by a ten percent fall last week. the fall occurred, apparently, because of a new director coming in and the decision to cut a number of jobs. I was a bit puzzled by this and wondered about your thoughts on the company. It seems to me that investors often like cuts, as they are meant to produce more money. Yet, here it is a reason for a drop. Perhaps the people don't like the new president? but, you would think that he would have been well known by this time. Perhaps they think that the new policy of cuts from a new president may be reckless and its efficacy is uncertain? I have been thinking of opening a position in the hope it will soon recover that ten percent it lost. I don't want to have this stock as part of my permanent portfolio but simpy as a trade. are there any cautionary remarks you might make on this strategy?
thanks
