Investment Q&A

Q: Dear 5i team.

May I have your analysis of Canadian Banc Corp? What is there structure, how are they achieving 16% returns, and what is the risk/reward.

Many thanks for your help.

Q: Can you give me the risk level of investing in either of these 2 financial products? Should the yields scare me or is this an opportunity? Looking to put in my income portfolio.

TY.

Q: I have money invested in BK. Indo not see how this company can stay in business paying a ~10% dividend yield when almost everything crucial is negative e.g. EPS REVENUE PROFIT MARGIN etc. etc according to yahoo finance, stockhouse and TD research platforms. Can you please explain to me how risky this company is from one to 10. 1 being safest and 10 being riskiest. Where do they get their money from? Do they skim the dividends off the bank stocks and give me less and pocket the rest? My next question is UEX. Uranium is finally getting warmer is this company safe and profitable? Do you think the uranium spot price will increase back to ore Fukushima days? If so how long will it last and when will the next spike be? I'm averaging around 28 cents. My next question is EHT. They been halted for many days now do you know anything that's going on? Are halts lasting this long usually bad news? It's doing a reverse split 1:20 and are reverse splits usually bad news?
Finally Lydian. Such a promising company. They entered some liquidation agreement and some trial is coming up soon. It's called "Just and Equitable Windup". What does this mean? Did I lose everything? It is still trading everyday?

Q: I hold the common shares of BK & PVD the split product issued by Quadravest and have been happy for about 12 years even when they suspended pay out for a while.
I would like to know your take on their preferreds. BK.PR.A & PVD.PR.A as to their distribution safety compared to their underlining assets ( banks and insurance companies). Would you advise holding or buy some of the preferred or would see holding a bank ETF as better. Your overall view of the above would be appreciated.

Thanks
Yossi

Q: Hello I5 team
Any idea why BK had a big up day May 8/18 to 13.68 and then gapped down to 13.05 on May 9/18 with huge volume. Thanks for your reply

Q: Hello I5 team, In your Q&A list regarding BK, your Aug 10/16 answer says you do not like BK's leveraged structure. What is leveraged about BK's structure?
Thankyou.....JC

Q: I hold BK in both my and my husband’s RRSP. Wondering if I should replace it with 2-3 Canadian banks instead. If yes, which banks would you recommend?

Q: Hello I5 team.
I'm trying to find out what the MER is for this fund and if this 8.8% div yield looks sustainable. I know the fund has increased 40% recently, but is it prudent to buy now?
Thankyou for your input

Q:
Hi team :
below is info. or BK. I HAVE DONE WELL FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.I have no other bank stocks.I mostly live on DIV.

Q: I would appreciate your opinion on BK (Canadian Banc Corp Cl.A). I understand you generally don't like split corps. However, I have been a long time holder and have done quite well with it. It is 2.3% of my largest portfolio but a smaller percentage overall. I have not found any previous questions on this company.
