Investment Q&A

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

Q: I originally purchased this stock reluctantly on the advice of my (then) advisor. I've never been a fan, as they seem to bounce from one crisis to another and have been stuck in a trading range until the recent hiring of Mr. Doyle; the trading range so far appears just slightly higher. There seems to be lot of investment advisor/analyst support at odds with my view. I am rethinking this position in my portfolio now I've no advisor, and am trying to decide if this one is worth keeping in my Consumer Cyclical group (currently underrepresented overall). I am interested in growth with this stock more than the dividend. Would appreciate your thoughts as it resides in your Income Portfolio. If not QSR then what is a plan B in this sector? Thanks very much.

Q: Couple of days ago you listed some preferred shares that you like. As they are perpetual, and not rate reset, will the yield vary from what they are at now? When can the issuers change the rate?
Thank you

Q: Thank you for your insightful reply on a concentrated core US portfolio. Although greater than 5% allocations in the 3 Canadian portfolios provide guidance on building a Canadian core portfolio, I would appreciate your reply focusing on some of the key differentiating criteria [such as compounders, duopoly] that you identified in your US selections. I assume CSU will be on the list, but uncertain as to he rest. As with your previous answer, please provide key rstionale and target buy prices.
Thank you

Q: Hi 5i,
I have a meaningful stake in WCP and am nicely in the green. I also have what I worry may be an irrational faith in its future prospects and its management, regardless of predictions that the energy sector will begin (or should I say continue?) to underperform in the not-too-distant future.
So, I'm looking for a reality check.
I have recently read elsewhere that WCP's debt, both short and long term, while presently manageable, is of a magnitude to potentially cause WCP significant problems that may well negatively impact both its share price and dividend if its revenues decrease by the amounts some are predicting over the next year and beyond.
Although I understand that there is 'good' debt and 'bad' debt and can both tell the difference in my personal life, and recognize how it is affecting me, analyzing the debt of a specific company in relation to its current and anticipated future revenues, CAPEX, FCF, EPS, P/E, etc. etc. is beyond me.
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on the future prospects of WCP in this context.
Thanks.
Peter
