Investment Q&A

Q: Have been thinking of buying a bit of QSR to play the reopening. It has a fairly good dividend history but it keeps going down in price. What would you deem to be a "safe" (this is less than professional terminology) price to pay?

Q: Thoughts on restaurant brands going forward?

Q: Would you recommend QSR now for a long term hold, I could not find on the investor s site whether the dividend was an eligible for the dividend ta credit. Do you have that answer?
Thank you

Q: Hello, given the current US$ exchange rate and the loses still incurred on a handful of CDN stocks, I'd like to hear your thoughts on selling the decent dividend but significant double digit % loses to acquire more US$ and move it into GOOG & FB. Alternatively I have considered adding to VFV or starting a position in VGRO and leave it as CDN$. I am ~25% in USD of which I plan to use so I am not concerned with adding a few more points of USD. Thank you for your opinion.

Q: Non-registered account with goal of primarily dividend income has done quite well, with all of the noted holdings nicely in positive territory. In hind sight MG and SYZ would have been in a registered account. SYZ is up 63%, MG 24%.
Overall account yield is currently 3.8%. Would prefer it closer to 5%
Need some help with this "good problem". Take capital gain now and move into yieldier positions, or let running stocks run and deal with bigger gain in future?
If I move out of some of the growthier stocks, which div payers minimum 3% yield to move into?
Overall portfolio diversification is pretty decent, and diversification within this account does not have to be perfect - dividend security within this account is more important.

Thanks,
Jim

Q: Hi... your thoughts on QSR now and the quarter. Is the turn around at Tim Hortons beginning to take hold or still too early to say?

thx. Mark

Q: What do you think of this twenty stock dividend portfolio for a taxable account? I am focusing on high quality and it yields about 3.8% . Any changes you would make?

Q: Bought BAD a few months back as a recovery play and have done ok however recent results cause me to question the growth prospects. Should I continue to hold or sell and add to my existing positions in SIS, NFI, QSR and MG. All good recovery plays in my opinion.
Thanks

Q: For an Income balance portfolio which stocks and/or EFT would you recommended for Consumer cyclical and Consumer discretionary sectors? Preferably with some dividend to keep the desired Income Portfolio as a goal. As to my last question I also ask you for recommendations for an Income Balanced Portfolio for stocks and/or EFT in a Consumer Defensive sector.
Thank you,
Thank you.

Q: I have 200 Restaurant Brands losing $20 Per share. Should I keep this stock? My research seems to say that Tim Hortons entered the US in a saturated market among other woes. I see Popeyes is in Edmonton now another burger saturated market I would think.

Q: I own bce in my rrsp account. I know it has a good dividend but the stock has been flat for the last few years. I was wondering if you could recommend another dividend stock that was relatively safe but would have a bit more growth potential.

Q: Hi 5i
I am looking to rebalance my consumer cyclical and defensive portions of my portfolio.
I would very much appreciate your recommendations on the better CDN and US stocks to consider in these areas. I have reviewed your portfolios and reports and am very much a dividend opportunist but would not shy away from growth

Thank you

Q: Hello 5i,
You have just stated that QSR is not your favourite stock but "ok" for income and some growth. So far I am up $5000 since you included it in your Income Portfolio (not including dividends) and happy for it! So if it is not your favourite, why isn't it excluded from the the IP and a "favourite" included instead? What mght that "favourite" income stock be?

Q: Hi All: I will be Transferring 'in kind' from my open account into TFSA. In your opinions which of this list might have the better growth potential, therefore capital gain protected within the TFSA? Too Bad for the $6K limit. Would you assist me in prioritizing my list?
Thank you for the great reading (Questions and Answers) and wonderful Web site. Happy New Year to all your great staff and all the happy 5iResearch Clients!.

Q: I just received a notice from my broker about a voluntary mini-tender by TRC capital for $73.75 USD, is this a good deal?
Thx

Q: I am considering harvesting a current loss in QSR and reinvesting the proceeds in PBH. For a long term investor, which company do you think will offer the better overall return ( dividend plus assumed capital growth) over time and please explain why. Many thanks

Q: Hi guys,

Two questions so please deduct the appropriate credits:

1 - Is the energy sector now purely a trade going forward? Are the days or steady production growth gone given how volatile the price of energy can be? It seems like there are ample opportunities for trades, but buy and hold, unless its a pipelines seems to be finished for now at least. Agree or Disagree?

2 - Looking to add some consumer discretionary to my portfolio for a recovery. Deciding between QSR and ATZ. I like the size of QSR and the dividend, but ATZ has lots of growth potential in the U.S. and Internationally and my wife likes their clothes!! ;) If you had to choose one, which would it be?

Thank you,
Jason
