Investment Q&A

Q: ALA: Sorry, another question about ALA. I just want to confirm: Is your best advice to sell ALA, take the loss (in my non-registered account) and move on, despite the 50% loss in share price? Besides ENB as an alternative for a long term income objective, what other quality stocks would you recommend now?

Q: I am interested in your opinion on this company - seems to be in the right demographic space and has a good dividend yield currently of 7.263% - how safe is the dividend?
Thanks for any information you have on this

Q: Your thoughts on the announcement today and dividend cut. Thank you.

Q: Hi. I contributed some money to my RRSP account and would like to buy 3-5 stocks that have a lot of upside potentials given the latest drawback of the market. Though I have a 10+ years holding period, it would be nice to see short term gain. I don't mind buying US stocks (or Canadian stock) if you can recommend.

Q: Based on current fundamentals and projected earnings over the next 1 to 3 years which pipeline company would you recommend for purchase during this tax-loss season? ENB seems to have better growth potential in the next 1 to 2 years but PPL has been much less volatile over the last 3 years.

Q: In response to a question today from Balbir (Ben) you said "KMP.UN may see a cut." Why?

Q: My understanding that there might be hundreds of companies on the Venture and CSE exchanges involved with the BridgeMark Group. Can you comment it seems both exchanges have almost zero monitoring in terms of investor protection. The news was general downplayed and many of the affected companies named continue to attract investors.

“Based on evidence obtained in respect of the other seven issuers (companies), Staff are concerned that members of the BridgeMark Group also executed the scheme with those issuers,” stated BCSC. The other seven companies include: Kootenay Zinc Corp.; Affinor Growers Inc.; Beleave Inc.; Liht Cannabis Corp. (formerly known as Marapharm Ventures Inc.); PreveCeutical Medical Inc.; Speakeasy Cannabis Club Ltd.; and Abattis Bioceuticals Corp.

To date, BCSC has temporarily banned BridgeMark members from buying or selling shares of the 11 companies. It has also blocked all CSE-listed companies from using the consultant exemption to sell shares to BridgeMark members.

Q: Carmanah is selling its Sabik assets and will end up with net cash of about CAD $118 million. This for a company with a current market cap of only CAD $65 million. Are there significant residual assets after the Sabik sale? On its face it looks like this is an opportunity to buy a dollar for 55 cents and get the remaining business for free.

Q: Which technology shares would be the most stable and promising from the ones listed?

Q: Hi 5i!
Pretty tepid reaction to yesterday's news. Even on today's broad market bounce, the stock doesn't seem to get any traction, holding barely into positive territory. And after a 50%+ fall from its june high, what are your thoughts on such negativity on TSGI? Has the fundamentals changes this much in 5-6 months? In hindsight, this feels like such a fad...

Anyways, thanks for 2018 and a Happy Holidays to all of you folks at 5i !!!

Q: Hi, I currently own Et ,Otex ,Pho, Shop, SYZ, and i’am thinking of selling two or three and buying Csu.
I will be doing this for a more stable and overall better portfolio if or when we get a further market downturn.
Is my strategy sound? And which two or three would you sell? I would also be open to sell four and keep two of the best if this works.
Thanks
