Investment Q&A

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

Q: I'm considering a very small position in WBA as a "contra", turn-around pick. I recognize that this is not the type of stock 5i would consider investing in. However I value your opinion on this name despite its warts already mentioned in past Q&A:

- Do you see about a 5 P/E based on projected earnings? Other metrics also seem better than the last 10 years.....of course for a reason.

- How sustainable is the new dividend payout?

- Do they have the capability to cut costs enough to bring the debt load down to acceptable levels?

- In your opinion, how susceptible is their business model to disruption?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have a handful of losers that I'm trying to decide what to do with. Using your crystal ball, which of these would you continue to hold and which would you dump?

Q: Hi 5i
Currently a share holder of WBA....
Regarding previous 5i comments about WBA, its debt and large dividend.......
Now that WBA has cut dividend by nearly 50%, where do you see it going from here?
Is it a good time to consider or still require wait and see? Attractive entry point at what price?
What has to happen next in this story?
Thx
jim

Q: I hold the above within a RRIF. In total they are now worth $49K cost was $64K, current income approx $2K.

What do you think about selling them all and reinvesting in AAPL, MSFT, BRK and AMZN. Any alternatives you can suggest. I don't mind forgoing the income.

Q: Can you provide a 'buy' list for a person wanting to deploy $200,000 (inside RRSP) with the goal of creating 5% or more sustained cash flow - as well as growing the original capital to keep up with inflatiion? We do not have company pensions - this would serve to supplement our government pensions.
Thinking, 20 stocks across all sectors @ $10,000 each (or 5%)
Also could you include 10 growth stocks (inside TFSA) for a total of $250,000 - gotta have some fun ;)
Many Thanks
Jan

I am looking for your recommendations on good dividend paying stocks. Stocks which have come under pressure due to market conditions. Stocks that are low risk and do not have high debt. I am mostly interest in income stocks but would also like a stock that would give me some capital gains. I have listed these and would appreciate rating these. Please also provide me with any other tickers you feel would fit my needs here which I may not have thought about.

Thank you.
