Investment Q&A

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

Q: Greetings 5i,

Trump retaliates in trade war with orders for American companies to "immediatly start looking for alternatives to China".

Where, what industries or companies in Canada, would you speculate there to be rising opportunities as a result?

Any additional thought would be welcome.

Cheers!

Q: I own shares of MX and down significantly on this stock. From what I understand, a big part of the drop can be attributed to largest shareholder M&G Investments selling 3% of company shares in August - here is their letter to MX shareholders: https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/m-amp-g-investments-sends-letter-to-methanex-shareholders-868146646.html
What do you think of this situation? Would you recommend MX as a 3-5 years hold or should I sell and take a loss?

Q: The only one I've owned and still do in this group is SLF - been a great investment over last 10 years +. I was thinking of buying MFC for my wife's portfolio since she does not have an insurance company. MFC's balance sheet looks great: very little debt., low pay-out ratio (lots of room to increase dividends). The stock seems to languish - low interest rate environment, I guess? Do you like this one for the long haul??

Q: Steinberg offers 2 "funds"; an international equity and a junk bond fund paying a 6% distribution. I like the idea that the equity fund can hold a large cash balance at times compared to other equity funds that must stay invested at all times. Do you have any opinion on each of these funds suitability for a balanced investor looking for a combination of income and growth? Let's say a 50-50 exposure to each.
