Investment Q&A

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

Q: Thoughts on latest results. Listened to the call - while not in a position to follow everything -I felt the tone was a bit dismissive to the questioners. And what are your thoughts on the debenture buy back - not seeing where they have the cash to complete that but easily might have misread the statements or perhaps a line of credit? Mainly just wondering if that points towards or away from a share issue as Engine is concerned about.

Q: Please comment on its most recent Q. It is still held in the growth portfolio yet it has been in a down trend since early 2022 from almost $60 to a current price of around $36. Do you still have patience with this one? Is it a buy, sell or , hold? Is there another name you would consider as a replacement with better growth?

Q: Hi Team,
What do you think of yesterday's results versus estimates.

I have a small SPB position in my RRSP (about 1%) and I am think about increasing my position. I own it mainly for income with, what I consider, a relatively safe dividend of 7.6%

I am thinking about gradually increasing my position to about 2-3% but I find the debt level a bit concerning, would you agree with the move?

I have some cash to deploy and I took many positions in the utilities sector in the last months and these positions are beginning to do well.

I would like to add some income diversification. What companies in other sectors (REIT, Financials, consumer staples, etc. ) could you suggest to add in a RRSP portfolio that pays a reasonable dividend, have a limited possible drop in price even in an economic downturn and a fair chance of capital appreciation over the next 2-3 years.

Thank you!

Michel

Q: I had high hopes for small caps this year, and it looks like, in the past 30 days, they finally started moving up with IWM at 5% gain and IJR at 6%. Unfortunately, my choice for small caps ETF was CALF and it barely moved up in the past 30 days. What is wrong there? I know that it is actively managed and has less holding in its portfolio... is there some problem with one of the holding? Should I sell it and switch to IJR or IWM? I know that CALF overperformed these two over longer periods of time, but the lack of momentum in the past 30 days when the small caps are up worries me.

Q: I would like to buy ATD (as 5i's stated: it is a great name at a discount price), and have long appreciated its growth trajectory and management seems very astute. However, in order to buy, I would need to sell something and since I am overweight Industrials, the name I come up with in my holdings is WSP. Which of the two names would you favour for a 5 year hold? My hesitation is what I understand to be a growing industrialization in Can and the US favouring WSP. Thoughts on this switch?
