Investment Q&A

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

Q: Charlie Munger's philosophy has always been buy great companies at a reasonable price. When you look at EPS growth over the last 20 years for a company like Starbucks what would your evaluation be for average entry point price.
From Peak to Trough it went from around $16.30 in Oct 2006 down to $3.32 in Nov 2008. The negative sentiment back then at the time, reminds me of the Canadian Oil and Gas industry today. Thanks for providing such a useful chart in your companies profile section.

Q: When I look at the FLTR shares in Dublin, they are trading at 97.24 euro, which implies a value for TSGI of 97.24 X .2253 X 1.44 = $31.55, however, when I look at the FLTR shares in London, they are trading at 8,478 GBX which implies a value of TSGI of 84.78 X .2253 X 1.76 = $33.62. Is my math correct and if so, why the discrepancy? TSGI is currently trading at $31.04 on the TSX. Why such a difference between the Dublin and London valuations?

Further to the question I just asked about TSGI, I called TD Waterhouse and I thought your members might be interested to know:
1) I could hold FLTR in my TFSA or RRSP accounts as well as my non-registered account as its listed on a major exhange (LSE)
2) if I traded it on the LSE, each trade would cost $125 US for trades of $5,000 - $20,000, $150 for trades of $20,000 - $30,000 ETC.
3) since it sells on the US OTC Pink, under ticker PDYPY, I could do the trade online for $9.99........however they cautioned that if I choose that route I should always use a limit order (makes sense). I just checked and it is trading on the US OTC Pink exchange under ticker PDYPY at $53.82.........which I believe implies a value of 53.82 X 1.33 xchange X .2253 conversion = $16.13.........it should be $30+....what am I missing?

Q: Greetings 5i,

What a week! Looking to sort through the rubble next week and start picking away at a few hammerd down blue chips. I have a question regarding ZDY and its dividend as I have 3 different postings for it.
TD states its $1.29/year = 4.32%
5i show its $0.20/month which should = $2.40 or 8% and yet states its 3.743%.
To make it more confusing Morning Star states 3.25%.

Hmmm.. everyone can't be correct? What are the true numbers here?

Cheers!

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I am looking to fill up my RRSP with NYSE listed US dividend stocks and US Reits over the next few weeks. What would be your six top picks in order of preference for each? I am an income portfolio investor, looking for a decent dividend, with some growth potential with stocks that are currently "on sale". Also, if you could suggest one ETF for both US listed Div Stocks and US Reits. Thank you!

Q: Thoughts on the ETF REM? I know you are focused on Canada, but would I lose withholding taxes on dividends since this is the US? Likely would be held in RRSP.

thank you.

Q: Natural gas has declined over the past 5 years or so and I am considering taking a position. I believe that LNG has a longer term very bright future especially exports.
Can you comment on AR:US, DVN:US ( producers) and UNG:US (natural gas pricing etf) or any other natural gas security.
Thank you
