Q: What's your take on this DBM acquisition? How much more do you think this deal will push up its share price as a result? Thanks.

Q: your comments on dbm earnings please.
thank you

Q: Very disappointed by your reply yesterday to my question which looks like a plain dismissal, as you didn't utter a word on the second part of the question on industrials, while making it private as to avoid embarrassment.

This is a public question.

Q: What would be some investments that would benefit from the potential residential building boom that is being incented by Federal money in Canada?

Q: Hi !

I am looking for an industrial stock for my TFSA. Strong growth in a short period of time is the objective.

What do you think of Target Hospitality (th-q), Vertiv (vrt-n), Preformed Line (plpc-q), MDA Ltd (mda-t), Doman Bldg (DBM-t) ?

Any other suggestion ?

Gratefully yours,

JD IDS

Q: I'd appreciate an update on your analysis of DBM; previously the high debt load has been ID'd as a concern. If one subscribes to the view that the next year or so will still be weighted down by inflation and interest rate challenges is this a stock to buy now (if at all) or put on the watch list for an upturn?

Q: I own MTL and CN and done well. Any other similar companies I could add (with decent div. )

Q: Good day and which of Doman’s and Acadian do you prefer?
How safe are their respective dividend?
Thanks

Q: hi, can I get your short analysis of this company. growth rate? payout ratio? value? is it a buy or sell? long term investor. cheers, chris

Q: Hi 5i,
I need to access some cash by selling some TFSA holdings and hope you can give me advice as to the best way to go about that.
I'm nicely up on WCP and TVE, and with dividends accounted for close to break even on DBM. CTS, CURA, QST and WELL are down a lot, and GXE is down some but not too bad.
Selling 1/4 of the WCP or 1/2 of the TVE or DBM would cover my cash requirement, whereas I'd have to offload pretty much all of any one of the others at their presently reduced values to get where i need to be.
If I didn't need the cash I wouldn't sell anything at present, in the expectation that WCP and TVE will continue to do well, that DBM will at least hold steady, probably rise relatively soon and keep paying dividends, and that the others will find their way out of the woods in due course. But unfortunately I don't have that luxury.
Given the above, could you advise what i might best hold on to, and what might be best to sell in fairly short order?
Thanks!
Peter

Q: Good morning folks. I am a relatively cautious retired income investor. I would appreciate your thoughts on DBM. The dividend is attractive. What do you think of the company's outlook? Thanks.

Q: What is your analysis of this company? What are the perspective long term and how sustainable is the dividend ?
Thank you as always for the excellent service

Q: Is Dbm a buy at this level?

Q: Please rank the above 7 stocks in terms of the negative impact a recession-based bear market would have on their price, and also on their ability to maintain their dividend.

Thank you!

Q: Can you please comment on DBM's recent quarter. Was it as bad as the market is suggesting? Was it's forward guidance strong? With a yield of over 7% and some growth opportunity does it offer a decent risk/reward?

Q: Hi 5i,
A while ago i wrote and asked about selling ATZ because it had risen substantially, and you advised "we think one of the worst reasons to sell a stock is because it is up". I heeded your advice, did not sell and presently, I'm very happy I asked and that you answered as you did.
Which brings me to my question(s):
I hold DBM and after I bought in it dropped considerably and I was down just over 20% for what seemed like quite some time. Recently it's been climbing, to the point I'm now down 5%. I put a fair amount in (for me that is) so the money involved is significant to me. Along with hoping for capital gain, the dividend was a motivating factor in my buy in.
EQX did the same thing after I bought in and at one point I was down just over 40%. It has now recovered to the point that I'm down about 18%. Monetarily speaking I don't have nearly as much on the line as with DBM, so my level of concern is considerably less.
If these stocks continue their recent trends and continue to rise, would the advice you gave for ATZ hold true for them, or would you advise me to let them go if they get to or near my buy in?
I ask because I expect - but am not sure - that the advice not to sell just because a stock is up may not hold true in every situation, depending on the names in question. Your thoughts regarding DBM and EQX in this context will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Peter

Q: Would appreciate your providing comments on DBM results released after the close yesterday Nov 4. It increased it's dividend and is now yielding 7.8%. The stock hit a 52 week high in April of $10.83 and pulled back significantly to a low of $6.13 in September. Analysts had a average target price of $11.29 in August. It closed Nov 4 at $7.18 I checked your list for Canadian Stocks Tax Loss Selling and it is not included. I'm wondering if you think the worst is over and its okay to buy now? Thanks
