Investment Q&A

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

Q: I noticed when comparing both stocks (TDwaterhouse data base),
TOU : EPS =1.65, div/year = 0.48, P/E=7.6, P/CF =2.6
WCP : EPS =0.13, div/year= 0.34, P/E=32 , P/CF =3.2
If both have lots of cash flow, why WCP has much higher P/E than TOU ?, What is WCP doing with its cash ?, Is capex, paying debt, shares buy backs any of the reasons to explain their main difference in earnings? Can I assume that TOU has a better balance sheet and therefore is safer ? Thanks

Q: I am as of today down 15% with vet.with a 12% yield. My thought is that if I do not really need the tax loss and would be quite happy with a 6% yield . Can you offer an opinion on if a div. Cut is in the works that vet .with it's track record and balance sheet does not need to cut div. By more than 50% TKS. Larry

Q: With XTC's 4th Q report yesterday, would you be comfortable taking a small position for growing income?

I see they have increased their dividend every year since 2010, but the share price has declined about 50% since 2016, so not friendly to capital in this particular time frame! What would turn things around over the next few years?

Also comments on the quarter please. Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,

I noticed CLVS had a good run lately. I am wondering whether the fundamental has been changed. Is it a good buy now?
Please also provide a few (CAD and US) names that are stable for long investment in the next few months, particularly with good valuation. It is almost RRSP season.
Thanks,
Yiwen

Q: Good morning 5i,
Once again thank you for the excellent service and advice that you give so generously. This morning there was a question about putting Boyd into a TFSA. I had been wondering the same thing. But, you mention that you dont really see it as a high growth stock. I imagine I would be better to put Google in, if I want growth. That means another capital gain, however. The beauty of Boyd is that you have to take the cap gain anyway. Getting to be a long story here. But, how would Parklawn compare with Boyd in putting in a TFSA?
thanks
