Investment Q&A

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

Q: Spruce Point has written some quite negative things about Dollarama such as saturation of the market, more competition than expected or mentioned, buying back stock at inflated prices to line the pockets of upper management & buying the distribution centre in the east of Canada rather than building one in the west to enrich the family that began the business in 1992.I'm down a ton on this stock so I'd appreciate your comments on the above accusations. They value the stock at $25 with hopes at best of it going to $43.00. Thanks as always for your valued insights.

Q: Hi 5i team,

I am 65 and want to invest my TFSA money into 3 equity ETFs, one for US, one for Int’l and one for emerging markets. I am prudent investor that prefer companies with some growth but decent valuation, strong balance sheets and stable business. Nothing too aggressive. Could you please suggest ETFs for TFSA that suit my needs and are traded in C$ and hedged? Thanks.

Q: Hi,

I heard a term this morning, "accidental high yielders" which was used to describe companies whose stock price had come down so much that their yield (presumed very safe) was "accidentally" high. The example was British Petroleum who apparently yields 6%.

Gluskin Sheff now yields a whopping 9% which doesn't even include their special dividends. You've said before that they have a good cash position, and that their dividend is safely covered, thus I might argue they are an "accidental high yielder".

Do any others come to your mind that might yield 5%+ after the recent sell off and have very good balance sheets and cash flows?
