Investment Q&A

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

Q: i am looking for a Chartwell type comparable in the US. Would you consider ventas a good alternative. Understand that it has a broader investment base outside of retirement homes but would suspect this positions the Reit for a bit better growth? Looking for dividend with a bit of growth. If not Ventas, can you recommend an alternative.

Q: Invesco just announced that its assets under management grew by less than 0.1% in August vs July. That does not seem like a good omen -appears to be capital gains growth inside portfolios (~3% S&P) just outpacing withdrawals.

In your opinion, what weighting should be given to this metric in this industry vs the large dividend yield 5% and low P/E of 8?

Q: I am finally out of my loss on this position... Do you feel that QComm will go to 80 and onward .. ? I don’t know enough about the stock’s potential but the last few days have been very encouraging. After holding for years I don’t want to sell if the stock is on a new trajectory or has become a tech leader ... would you Buy Sell or Hold ? Thanks

Q: Would you please provide your current perspective on Helius?
I’m particularly interested in your view on what potential there may be should PONS and related therapy be found to have good efficacy. In other words could they effectively monitize this technology free of direct competition? It seems the actual equipment would be inexpensive to produce.
Thanks, Hugh

Q: It seems to me that when 5i members seek guidance regarding possible investments in American healthcare companies, Pfizer seems to be a common recommendation by your team. If I'm correct that you consider it to be a good investment at this time, what exactly are the reasons you believe this to be the case. If I'm wrong, what other American Companies do you favour currently. I'm willing to accept some risk but I'm really looking for a company that can balance off some of the Canadian small caps that I have in my portfolio that I'm purchased with your guidance. i.e. Knight, Covalon and Reliq. Again, thank-you for your invaluable guidance.

Q: I know U.S. markets are not your focus but any help would be great. I am looking for some suggestions on growth holdings in a TFSA USD for a long term hold 5-10 years. Currently in the account V, FB, BRK.B I am not a fan of dividend paying US holdings in the account due to the 15% robbery from the US government in non registered accounts. I am looking for something with stability and top in their industry. I have thought about CRM or SQ but other suggestion would be great. Thanks again for the great service

Q: I see no one has asked a question about WTER.V or WTER on U.S. market that produces alkaline water. After reading an article about them, on the surface it looks like they have a great future ahead for them. What do think after you have had a chance to analyze this stock? Thanks.

Q: I bought shares in this company last week hoping for a good earnings announcement yesterday. The earnings were a little lower than expected and the stock is down roughly 8% from my average cost. I don't see that any questions have been asked about this company before and am interested in your thoughts. Is this one worth holding onto? Thank you as always.
