Investment Q&A

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

Q: These are the only 2 stocks I own in roughly equal portions of $41,000.00 each in my TFSA.
I am looking at selling equal amounts of each stock to buy another equally weighted stock.
I prefer small caps with a 5%+ yield and good growth potential for long term hold. DRIP if possible.
Would you name 3 stocks which you think may be suitable. Thanks
Derek

Q: Please dock two questions for this:

1. Would EIF be best held in a TFSA or non-registered account?
2. What would you recommend for a high divdiend paying stock in the consumer space for a non-registered account. Would BPF.UN be a good choice?

Q: Hi, I need to pull some money out of my TFSA and would love your thoughts on what to sell. I'm looking at TOY, NFI, and EIF as my "flatliners" (I haven't had them long). Do you have advice about which to drop, or perhaps they'll all shine in the end so I should just trim each one? I will be able to buy back mid-year. Thanks!

Q: In an otherwise well balanced portfolio,and knowing that they are in different sectors, which of the two stocks do you feel has the better
possibility for growth over the next eighteen months to two years. Dividends are not an issue.Their Market Cap, P/E ratio, REO, and price appreciation over the last one year appear to be similar. Thank you for your opinion. Ian

Q: Please enlighten me on how bought deals work, using the most recent EIF bought deal as an example.

EIF floated new common shares at $42.45 per share recently and it was a bought deal so the underwriters bought the entire issue (plus the over subscription shares) for $42.45 per share. Thereby EIF received $42.45 per share (less the underwriter fees), while the underwriters assumed the risk in case if they cannot sell those shares at $42.45 or more. Am I correct so far?

In that case, with the EIF SP lingering under $42 a share, can I assume the underwriters will suffer a loss? After all why would you buy the new shares from the underwriter at $42.45 if I can get them cheaper in the open market?

Also if I were the underwriter, would I not be trying to drive up the EIF SP to over $42.25 to protect my deal?

Kindly shed some light on this type of transactions. Much appreciated.

Q: Hi Peter and gang,
EIF's EPS(TTM) is $1.82 and it pays a monthly dividend of $0.1750 which translates into an annual didvidend of $2.01. If my calculations are correction, EIF's payout ratio is then 110%. Would you please comment on the sustainability of EIF's current dividend payout. Also please provide comment on this company going forward.
As always, good works fellas. Regards!

Q: Hi Peter,My guess on RNW which I have owned since inception is that it will eventually be part of bep.un they already own a substantial position.all so if 5i followed EIF what letter grade rating would you give this co.I took a full position in eif the day after TD downgraded it.
Kind Regards
Stan
