Q: Hi,
I'm considering the purchase of a full position for a 5yr + hold in a company that pays medium range but increasing dividends as well as modest yearly capital growth. I already hold full positions in TD, BNS, Fortis, BCE, T. I'm looking at CU but would appreciate your recommendation for several other preferred companies.
Thanks,
Joe

Q: Looking to start an entry to BPF.UN as an income fund at this point.How do see this ?
Q: Hi 5i,
My current strategy is to have a hybrid approach so that I have some of the income portfolio holdings, some growth and some from balanced. In addition I have taken the same approach with US holdings and UK/Australian (to a lesser extent) so my version is diversified (both by sector and geographically, well hopefully) and I think of it like a balance equity portfolio.
Generally how does this (balanced) approach compare to the income or growth portfolio which seems more targeted in its purpose. Are there persuasive arguments to follow one style over another?
Thanks
Mike

Q: Hi 5i: Are there any general observations to make about how markets and different sectors usually react once a yield curve inversion occurs? I understand that subsequent recessions may not typically begin until 9-18 months after a yield curve inversion but I’m wondering if bear markets in equities most often tend to lead recessions and by how much. Along similar lines, at what point during the sequence of events would you expect to hear a lot of talk about 'engineering a soft landing’ and expect to see ‘easing’ steps such as interest rate decreases? I’m happy to do a little further reading on this myself if there is a good info source you’d like to point me toward. Thanks!

Q: I understand that Parex is in the middle of a strategic review, I just don't understand (a) why a sale of the company makes sense, and (b) why the stock price continues to fade. Doesn't Parex have one of the better business cases out there? Cash, Brent pricing, new wells - what's not to like?
Some months ago, on BNN, Dennis de Silva suggested that their assets are entering a declining phase - which would certainly make a prospective buyer think twice. But aren't most (all?) O&G companies constrained by the wasting-assets problem? Yet we continue to invest in them.

Q: I have owned Dorel Class B shares for a few years and it has gone down quite a bit. It currently trades in the range of $18.50 which is a far cry from the trading range of the low $30's in 2016 and 2017. Do you know why the price has sunk so low lately? Would you sell this stock now or wait for the price to recover?
Q: Apart from P/E ratios, is there a key valuation metric for a sector that would help one to select one stock over another in that sector?
There are many valuation metrics - P/BV, FCF, FFO, EV/EBITA, for example. Some are more suited to one sector versus another. Could you advise which valuation metric(s) you rely upon for each sector.
Thx
Sam
