Investment Q&A

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

Q: Could you comment on DH's debt position? You reported that they paid down $200m of debt in the last quarter whereas I read elsewhere they paid down $20 million so I am wondering where the typo lies. Given their recurring income streams, I would think paying off $800m of debt annually would leave them in pretty good stead.

Thanks for your help.

Q: As a newer subscriber to 5i, i am interested in purchasing your BE portfolio. The above names have had huge run ups and I don't know how to approach them. Which ones are buyable at these levels?
Of the ones you deem buyable, can you comment, for each, as to whether a half position or full position should be taken.
And can you rank these in terms in terms of your preferences at current levels?

Thank you for your excellent service, as always.

Q: I have a 5% position in Alaris and am significantly under water. Earlier this year I sold CJT at a nice profit so I am sitting with a nice capital gain. I am thinking of selling Alaris for the loss and to offset some of the capital gain with Cargojet, As I like Alaris and it's dividend I would most likely buy it back after 30 days. My question is do you like this strategy and if yes would you execute it before or after Alaris reports next week ?

Thanks Ken

Q: Hi, Nike is near its 52 week low and has a pretty amazing historical chart, not to mention brand. From some research, it seems that growth in China is challenged, and futures are down a bit. Is that it, or am I missing something?

Is this an opportunity to initiate a full (3-5%) position?

Q: MSI is trading around $20, near its 52 week high, and reports on Nov 9. I have owned MSI since it was $10, so I have doubled my investment and collected rich monthly dividends along the way. The company has steadily grown revenues and cash flow at 10% p.a. compounded over the last ten years. As a "human capital" service provider with low capex and high return on invested capital, why does 5i not cover this company? What is your long term outlook for MSI in terms of security and growth of the dividend? What are the chances of a takeover by a large cap competitor like MMC or WLTW?
