Investment Q&A

Q: Can I have your thought on HEO earnings and your thoughts moving forward form here? Thank-you.

Q: Would you be comfortable with TPK now?and is the dividend safe.
You mentioned before that it might be a takeover target...why do you think this?
Also with a new facility coming online is there so much extra demand for its product or is it gonna be overcapacity?
Would you prefer something else in the space?

Q: CAn you comment on their earnings last week and long term picture?

Thanks

Q: 5i ...was wondering if you could explain a little about a company being shorted. Once the stocks value has reached a certain level is the 'heat' then taken off that company or do they continue to hammer it with a 'told you so' attitude. I have made some money on EIF and enjoy the dividend but do not want to watch all evaporate. TY for explaining.

Q: Can you give me your thoughts on Trinity Industries? Some analysts love it others don't. There has been some insider movement as well that has since an increase in holdings. Three analysts have rated it with a sell, five have given a hold rating and two have assigned a buy rating to the company’s stock. The company has a consensus rating of “Hold” and a consensus target price of $26.50. I don't know what to think anymore!

Q: Team 5i, would you kindly rank these 4 REITs? I just turned 64 and now want to focus more on Dividends and Asset Protection as opposed to Growth. I like the High Yields. Are they safe? Any other suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks as always!

Q: Hi, I would like to know if you think Csh.un is fine to keep. Fortunately i'am up 37% so thinking of selling for the profit.
Could you tell me if Csh.un is fairly valued and has some more upside, or should I move on, and what to replace it with in the same sector. I also have Sia. And I do like the dividend.
Thank great work,Brad

Q: Over the last few years, I've become familiar with the likes of David Stockman, Marc Faber, Jim Rickards, Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers, and other well-known perma-bears. They spend a lot of time warning about sky high stock valuations, extreme asset inflation generally, the banning of cash, the importance of precious metals, impending market crashes, runs on banks, the freezing of stock exchanges, and other light fare. I try to balance their dire outlook with more sanguine perspectives, but I'm always wondering if some of the extreme scenarios they envision will ever materialize.

For instance, Marc Faber appeared on BNN a few days ago, warning that the share prices of some of the most successful companies are headed to zero in the coming years. He didn't specify which ones.

Are you familiar with any of these pundits, and should any of their warnings be taken seriously? Thanks for your thoughts. I'm due back at the bunker now...

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I recently learned that Canada has enacted a "bail-in" regulation so that systemically important financial institutions can recapitalize by converting some of their liabilities (deposits) into capital should another financial shock occur. Is this fact? How does this regulation work and How does one avoid forced conversion of savings?

Thanks for you great service.
Regards,
Danny
