Investment Q&A

Q: A&W is trading at around $35 and the recent offer is $37. Is this an oportunity to buy? Thanks John

Q: Please comment AW.un's Q2 results and news today resulting in a gaintic leap of some 17% to $33.45 current price. Txs for U usual great views & services

Q: Do you have an explanation on why aw.un is up so much today?

Q: Hi Peter & 5i,
Will you please explain the proposed strategic combination? Looks like if every unit holder tendered their shares for $37, then I'd receive $37 for 30% of my shares and 1 share of the new company for the remaining 70%?
If all unit holders (except me) elected to convert their shares to the new company, is it possible to receive $37 for 100% of my shares?
What is your recommendation?

Q: Reading TSX Money about the combination of A&W Royalties Income Fund and A&W Food Services, it says, "Each Fund unit to be exchanged for one share of the combined company or $37.00 in cash (subject to proration)." As I write the unit price of A&W Income Fund is $33.76 which is a long way from $37. Can you please explain what unit holders have to do in order to get the full $37?

Thank you as always for your expertise.

Q: Hey can get your take on these two companies for income and just general value? I know they are different sectors but both compelling yield. Which would you prefer overall.

Q: Hello
A general question.
Are any REITs such as AP.UN, Royalty Funds such as AW.UN or any ETF's eligible to claim the dividend tax credit?
Thank you
Jeff

Q: Since last your last report on AW.UN about a year ago, what has changed if anything in your view on this company? Debt still appears to be under control. Valuation I think is a bit better. What are your greatest concerns / company risks going forward? Same store sales?

Q: Good morning
3 questions plse take 3 credits

1. I purchased AW.UN at around 44$ a couple of years ago and since then it has now slid to 30$ what will it take for it to regain some value back up to around 44$?

2. BIP.UN looked like it was recovering but now has slipped back into the high 30$ any particular reason for the fall back?

3. Currently own GOOG which cant seem to get any traction but wondering for a long term hold would AMZN be a better buy for long term growth? Which would you buy if only one can be held?

Thks
Marcel

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

Many times when you are asked for a good dividend stock for a long term hold QSR makes the cut. Today Marco asked for top 5 consumer discretionary names, it did not make that cut while AW.UN and PLC did. Do you view QSR less positively than those names?
Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: Hi,
What would be your top 5 CDN consumer discretionary stocks in a RRSP for a 5-10 year hold.
Please list in order of preference for a buy today.
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter,

I wonder if you might provide some colour on the Pret a Manger franchise agreement, how have things progressed. Would this be a a reason to purchase A&W stock and does the agreement allow stand alone stores separate from A&W.

Cheers,

Q: Which ones would you buy for a TFSA and which ones for a RRSP? I have no holdings for consumer cyclical.

Thanks

Q: I am planning towards retirement within 5- 10 years and would like to transition my TFSA from growth oriented to dividend paying stocks to supplement my income upon retirement.

Can you suggest dividend paying stocks with min 3% yield with history of dividend growth. Thank you
