Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i - WSP is in your income portfolio and I'm wondering, as it is declining, is it a good time to buy or could you recco another few income stocks instead.
Thx - Doug

Q: Could you recommend 5 growth and/or income companies that are debt free? I currently hold CGY which, I believe is debt free. Thank you.

Q: Earnings release looked fine to me, thus I stepped in on the pull back to now hold a 7% position. Divi is next week, which I will take and I expect ET to move back up into its regular trading range based on this earnings release. When that happens I will sell off half of my current position. Question, what do you think of earnings release and my short term strategy?

Q: This stock was talked about by an technical analyst at BNN recently. The chart was trending down for a long time and recently started to break out to the upside and he thought it would be a good time to enter this stock. Also, on BNN ET was a favourite. Could you give me your opinion on these two questions? Thank you very much. Long time member Dennis

Q: What are your thoughts here? Backlog has been promising from time to time but not sure it translates efficiently to the bottom line and chart has been range bound for a while. Thanks!

Q: Could you please comment on earnings. There was about a 4% drop to the share price before the release?? I hold this in my income portfolio and have never had to worry about this company. 2017 looks like there wasn't much growth but does 2018 look better? Would you continue to hold this?
Thanks as always for your advice.

Q: Hi Peter,

Could you please choose and rank the top 5 in the list of stocks below based on value today for a 3-5 year hold;
PBL, FTS, ET, KXS, SLF, PKI, GC, PBH, WSP, ATD.B, AEM
The stocks would be purchased for RRSP's

Q: Hi Team ,
I am thinking about taking half-positions in AGT and DHX.B two companies that I have been following for a while.
AGT and DHX.B seems both interesting considering their long term potential in their respective market especially following their respective recent steep price drops that make them more attractive. I would like to have your opinion on these Companies.

I also want to add ET in my RRSP. Evertz is a bit intriguing, It seems to me that the market valuation is on the low side (Am I right?). The company seems to offer a good potential but the share price seems to be going nowhere since a while, any idea why.

What is your opinion on taking a position in ET at the current price level?

Thank you!

Q: Hi gang, ET is quite weak the last two weeks. Any news? Do you still like this stock? Thanks Rob

Q: I am looking to buy either ET or SPB for a long term hold. I am primarily interested in dividends and dividend growth. Which would be better?

Q: I currently hold ET in my income portfolio and it is my only holding in Technology. I am comfortable holding as I do require income from this account (I am retired). Would you add another Tech company with higher growth potential to my portfolio and if so, what would you recommend?

Q: There has been a fair bit of insider trading in ET since its last earnings report. Do you know how much insiders own of this company? I wonder if this suggests the next earning won't surprise to the upside like the last earnings did?

Q: What are your views on these two companies? Are they good investments at this time?

Q: Good morning, Please comment on Evertz results from yesterday. Seems to me they have done quite well over the past two years but the stock does not move much, why is that the case?
Regards Rob

Q: What do you mean when you refer to a stock as a good/not-good "trading" stock (as for instance in your reply to Robert's May 19 question about CHE.UN)? Thank you.

Q: I noticed that you have this stock on the Income Portfolio, if you could only choose one technology for a RRSP from all 3 portfolio that you cover would you choose still ET or one of the other tech stock that you cover? This is for a long term hold. If you were to choose another stock which one would it be?

Thanks

Q: Good morning...I have held syz for two years with a loss on the stock other than a dividend return but stock down 20%...I have held back on one of my rules of reducing exposure as you hold this company in high regard...I already own abt and it is doing well but am thinking of replacing one half of my exposure to syz with et...do you consider this a prudent move as I hold all of the balanced portfolio and parts of the dividend and growth portfolios and have had very good returns other than syz...I value your opinion in this matter and look forward to you reply...thanks for a great year ...gene

Q: Hello 5i:
I wish to do a little consolidating in the portfolio. Could you rank the stocks above, from a total return point of view. Obviously, the dividend is important, as is dividend growth.
as always, thanks
