Q: I had asked a question about boardwalk selling off recently and you mentioned oil price sensitivity in Alberta and while it has sold off slightly more than peers the entire group has gotten crushed pretty much straight down for the past 6 weeks despite rates trending down (probably at or more than expected) in Canada. Why are these names selling off? I don’t get it. Thanks

Q: Hi! Wondering if you are still positive on Interrent. Can you please comment on how this company is doing and if you see it as a buy, hold, or sell. With interest rates being lowered do you see this stock improving?
Thank you!

Q: Hello,

Thanks for all that you do.

CAP REIT has had a good run and is near my price target of $56. Do you think it still has room to run? If not, would you advise selling and picking up some VRN, or are any other beat up companies looking more attractive (I'm indifferent to the sector, but would prefer to stay away from consumer discretionary).

Thanks!

Q: My husband is 8 years away from retirement and wants to buy dividend stocks to leave mostly alone (not checking daily like me!) - he'll check in on it now and then. This is the list he's come up with - slightly higher positions in BCE, BPF.UN and slightly lower in AW.UN, CAR.UN and OLY, otherwise fairly evenly split. Do you see this a good list for his purposes, and is there anything you would leave off, or add? Any other alarm bells? Thanks!

Q: I hold BAM as an income stock and also CAR.UN, both in a TFSA. Going forward, I am considering combining them into either BAM or CAR.UN. (And I also hold DIR.UN, a larger position than CAR.UN). I know 5iR likes diversification, however the family has a home and a cottage. If I combine them, what would you suggest as the one to hold, BAM or CAR.UN??? .....Thanks....Tom

Q: My wife and I hold a blend of mainly dividend paying blue chip Canadian stocks (examples shown) in a diversified equity/fixed income portfolio. PE ratios on some of our dividend payers seem enticing to add to. As retirees with a reasonably conservative approach, what sectors does 5i feel have the best opportunity for P/E margin expansion over the next several years, assuming no 'abnormal' (whatever that is) market volatility and some moderation of interest rates? Consistent with the margin expansion theme, would 5i suggest we add to our existing dividend payers, or to more growth-oriented names like BN group?

Q: A cursory look suggests CAP REIT, in spite of its fall in price, still trades at a high multiple to FFO. How much of an impediment is this to the recovery of this stock? I have held CAP through a tough multi-year stretch, liking its conservative approach, being in residential (vs other sectors), its selling non-core properties to invest in newer buildings, etc. Interest rates have hurt, but that trend line may be changing. What does 5i think of CAP here. Is it worth holding in a TFSA for better days?
