Investment Q&A

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

Q: Thanks for your excellent work. I've recommended your service to friends and you now have made new clients.

Why is ENGH hated so much ? It's in a downtrend for more than 18 months now and I thought that they would find a near term bottom here with the last quarterly earnings report.

Let's recap, investors hate high growth high valuation stocks. Investors also dislike slow growth and decent PE. Where do you see fit ENGH ? I thought we would see the end of the death spiral with this earnings report. Nope, so I guess we are now just a few believers like me and the founder of course holding the bag.

Q: AR's drop in share price has been precipitous to say the least. The last news item involved two things: the Magino construction costs and Pete Dougherty resigning.

I have two questions.

1. Which of those two news items would be more likely to have caused such a violent drop?

2. Is this an opportunity to establish a position given the strong fundamentals of the company? (for instance TMX Money says p/e is 6.4 while the p/b is .60) Didn't Ben Graham say that the way to make money is to buy a dollar worth of a company for less than a dollar?

Q: Everyone. When there is a downturn in the market I look for positives. This year I am still up more than 11%. In the last 10 years my house value has increased by a factor of 3 and my investments have increased by a factor of 12. Yes the stock market has gone down recently but in the long term - I am significantly better off. Have a great holiday season. Clayton

Q: Good morning,

I have recently discovered CDR's and would like to hear 5i's opinion of them. I am sure someone would have already asked so feel free to post a link to any answer you've already provided.

A few specific questions I have though, would include a) what benefit does CIBC get for creating these (e.g. seems like the kind of product that would have a mangement fee somewhere, but they don't....) b) is the NEO exchange a legit (e.g. acceredited, safe) exchange - I imagine it is but just want to hear it from you c) do you think they are liquid enough?

Thanks in advance. - Jeff

Q: Hi guys

In regard to Stella Jones I see it has hit a 52 low. In the past few months you have indicated it is cheap at higher levels. I remember in past years when it was the highest gaining stock on the TSX in a year. Any idea why it is so out of flavor, and what might be a spark that would see the stock move higher rather than lower?

Thanks

Stuart

Q: Hello 5i,
Aqn had an investor day earlier in the week. I understand they plan to spend $12 billion out to 2026 on new capital projects. While the expansion plans should be good for the growth of the company:
1)will getting the financial backing for these projects put pressure on the stock price and
2)will it put a cap on the dividend growth plans within the next 5 years?
Tia!
