Investment Q&A

Q: Hi5i,
Could I get your thoughts on TOG. How is the balance sheet and the sustainability of the dividend?
Thanks Dave

Q: Good morning, I have a special cash account which I view more or less as a replacement for a savings account at my credit union so I've focused this account on fairly safe dividend payers with a few growth stocks sprinkled in. I'm planning on selling CGX and will then have enough cash for 3 new positions. In financials I'm thinking of some growth. Would you choose gsy or ecn? In tech. Evertz or ABT? And lastly, Valener,SPB? or Enbridge? Thanks, Rod

Q: They reported for 3 month operations, I thought the report looked good, but the the stock price went down, so I'm not sure I understood the report & don't know what good is. Can I get your option on this stock please.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I thought there Quarterly Report was strong however I see they are 4.5% down in after hours trading. Please give me your opinion about the report in relation to there future. Was the market expecting more, profit taking or is the stock over valued...your thoughts please!
Always great to know that the 5i Team is there when you need them!
Respectfully...

Q: Hello Peter,
With regards to the question posed to you for HCG by one of your members, i can relate to the frustration and disappointment that your team did not see it coming. However, at the same time, as investors, we have to realize that you can only advise based on the data you have available. Past data can be used as input to determine Future company or sector trends, but cannot guarantee success as no one can predict the future. I think it is best to focus on how we can avoid such stocks in the future given great metrics in the past (HCG had high ROE, decent PE etc ) and all of a sudden we start hearing issues with the company. Can you please shed light on what investors can watch for to avoid such pitfalls? I am using your service, watch BNN, read newspapers and other letters along with placing stop losses to minimize downside. From what i have seen, it is best to stick to decent paying dividend stocks like BCE, SLF, Banks, etc Growth stocks just seem to have too much hidden which comes to surface later or they are targets for short sellers. Thanks for your valuable input.

Q: Hi folks,can please get your opinion on Q results for Cpg and their guidance going forward. Is there actually some light at the end of the tunnel as been a long pain hold,thanks for great service from a very satisfied,long term member of 5i family

Q: Bruce Campbell on BNN last night thinks that the new management at PHM has turned around the company to a profit,I know your thoughts on this company in the past and agree with you,but is it possible,through organic growth that they could double in the next year.What are your thoughts going forward under new owners thanks Greg

Q: Hi, I have Bce,bought at 49,and thinking of selling for a profit. There are a few hold ratings with a lower target price. Could this be just to get you to trade?
Would it be a good idea to take profit or hold for longer term? If I sold I would have to replace it with a dividend stock (similar) with a two year+ hold, any suggestions?
Thanks,Brad

Q: What about Zimmer Biomet's results today did the market not like? ZBH is down 7% today.

Q: Good Morning,
Any comments on the bid to take Lumenpulse private? Seems like a pretty good offer to me although I had great long term expectations for this company.......

Thanks as always,

Rob

Q: Hi,

In an answer to Bill today you mentioned "some ETFs are specifically designed to own just a few stocks, or hold riskier assets. "

Could you list a few of your favourite examples of Canadian ETFs that fit that description?

Thanks,

Gord

Q: I am hoping this question doesn't count against me (my question allotment) as it is intended to improve further the high quality of your service. I have on occasion been quite impressed with a comment or question by a subscriber. Is it possible to then track other queries and comments made by that subscriber? I think that would be quite valuable

Q: hi. im looking to add 3 names to my dividend portfolio. can you rank these names for me for best investment choice for long term play and safety.

Q: Hi 5i, is it more upside for Pho? Wondering the share price usually dropped after release earning? Thank you.

Q: Comments please on Constellation's latest quarter.
Thank you

Q: In light of the recent HCG drawdown what are your thoughts on subject?

Q: More of a feedback comment than anything else. Thank-you, thank-you for this wonderful service you provide. I have been a member of this service from the beginning, and I have followed you careers for sometime. I used to be a mutual fund investor, and overtime slowly dabbled in stocks to take control of our family finances. This service has been invaluable to me and I suspect so many others. In light of some recent company issues I wanted to reinforce the quality of this service. You may not pick all the winners, and that's not your job, but you have certainly helped this individual take control of his families investments and taught him to choose my own winners rather than throw darts and gamble. I may not ask many questions, but the information and insights on this site are outstanding. Thank-you for sharing your talents. - Cheers

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
Is it CRH overvalued now? It seems that investors do not like the financial result and outlook. Your opinion please.
Thanks

Q: GUD. The stock seems stuck at 10.50$.

Would you advise simply resilience, and awaiting the outcome ?

Q: Hi 5i - Bruce Campbell has had PHM as a top pick a few times in a row on BNN (could be just pumping the stock that his clients own?). What would you need to see with PHM for an investor to continue to hold it (or would you simply sell and move on)? Thanks, Neil
