Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello 5I Team, Thanks for the great service that you provide.
I'm getting quite impatient and nervous about TSGI missing the 2019 bounce and suspect that USA potentially clamping down on gambling will remain a strong headwind for the foreseeable future. Would it be a better idea to get sell my position 4% total portfolio and re-invest in one or more of SHOP, GSY or CSU? If so, what would your order of preference be.

Thanks

Q: I was just about to buy CSU when I noticed a good report and it shot up 12%! Is it too late? I'm looking for two long term holds, minimal volatility, for a 2.5 % position each. What two do you like and why?

Q: I am wondering about the appropriateness of your Balanced ETF fund being held in either RRSP or TFSA from a tax perspective.

Q: Want to give the ETF and Mutual Fund Newletter prepared by 5iR is well worth the read. I'm a long time subscriber but never seriously read it as I'm focused on stocks. Of late, I am burrowing into this Newsletter as
I discovered that there are good points that carry over to equities. Just want to share this with you. And feel free to post it on the Q&A 5iR web site or elsewhere.....Tom

Q: Re: your answer on FCR today "The move will lower the company's cost of capital (probably). It makes sense, and most investors have likely been treating like a REIT anyway. It is a real estate company with a portfolio of assets, with a high dividend. Similarities exist already. It will be similar to others, but with a retail focus, but at least anchored by grocery stores and drug stores. It will 'probably' be a taxable conversion, so this may annoy some long term shareholders with embedded gains. "

On your last paragraph saying "will probably be a taxable conversion" that means holding FCR on non register a/c
may get taxable conversion.
I hold 1013 shares in cash a/c and have 28% gain, so should I sell before the conversion?
Thanks as always,
Tak

Q: Re your answer to Kim today on this company and its earnings.

Pre market the stock was up 5% or so. Then the retail sales announcment came out and in real time the stock is down 10%.

Does the terribly weak retail sales announcement overshadow the great earnings, because the market feels this weakness will breach GOOS earnings in the future?

Should this change my investment outlook on the stock? Would you recommend holding at this point?

Thanks

Sheldon
