Q: Hi. I have 200 shares of TSGI in a TD RRSP account and 200 shares of TSGI in an Interactive Brokers margin cash account (account that can hold shares traded globally)

Unfortunately,the share offer by Fllutter is still below my purchase price.
Questions:
1) What should I do with the shares? Do you think I should hold or sell?
2) What do you think is the potential of the share after both giants merge?

Q: Reliq states that they will be cash flow positive by the end of the year. However, I have concerns about their burn rate. One estimate is that they will use up their cash within about 2 months. Do you agree and what would you expect them to do -- borrow/stock issue, etc.?

Q: Each of these stocks make up between 2% and 2.5% of our portfolio. I have some cash to deploy and am thinking of adding to one of these. Which one, if any, would you see as a good choice at this time, and why?
Thanks once again for your valuable input. RAM

Q: Visa vs. Mastercard for a new investment?

Q: I would welcome your thoughts on Brookfield Global Infrastructure BGI.UN. I am considering it purely as an income play. Safety and consistency (or potential for increase) in the dividend are my only concerns with this investment. If it isn't deemed to be too risky, I might consider taking as much as a 5% position in it. If the statistics indicated on the TMX website may be relied upon, it appears to be trading at a very reasonable P/E multiple of 8 times and its price to book value of 1.018 also seems to me to indicate that one isn't paying a particularly high premium for it. I however, have no idea how someone should properly assess the value of such an investment and so I am seeking your thoughts and guidance. Thank you!

Q: Hello,

I've recently acquired a half position (2.5% of my portfolio) in NFI Group. The company has announced several, large new orders since the beginning of August, is trading at a quite reasonable 12 times P/E ratio and is paying a very healthy dividend of approximately 6%. I have several questions however that I'm hoping 5i might be able to assist me with.

When NFI "sells" a bus do you know if they actually get paid whatever price has been agreed upon and are then free and clear of that transaction OR do they actually, typically either lease the vehicle to it's new "owner" or finance the sale price themselves in any way?

Are you able to please provide me with NFI's current dividend payout ratio, as well as with any information about what their dividend payout ratio may have been, on average, over the past 5 - 10 years? Have they ever cut or eliminated their dividend?

Do you believe that their recent acquisition of Alexander Denis Ltd. (ADL) might be exposed to any risks from Brexit?

Thank you!

Q: YOur site lists a yield of 2.67%, Issuer blackrock lists a Yield to maturity of 2.3%. which is more indicative of future total yield? With being able to get 2.3%, risk free, on saving at EQ Bank, why take risk in this bond ETF?

Q: I am looking at Gold mining companies and royalty companies. My preference is low to no debt with good management. My preferred choices right now are KL, LUN, WPM, and FNV, all of which are priced high right now. I own mostly NGT, but I'm not sure about them. I'm having a hard time selling NGT, priced 'OK,' to buy higher priced companies. My question is:

What are your preferred gold companies with no/low debt and good management?
Is NGT a slow but safer company, or should I move on to the others?

Q: What is the expectation high for this, before the move to the UK exchange?

Q: Hi there
I am looking to invest 30% of my TFSA portfolio in a bond ETF . The remaining 70% are in dividend stocks (mainly in financial institutions). Would you please suggest what bonds ETF or any other fixed income option should I be considering? The goal is to protect my principal amount.
Thank you
