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 suggest some candidates to buy during year-end tax loss selling, either from the 5i universe or more generally? I am considering BOX, DHX.B, VCM, KBL, DH. Your views on these five would be appreciated.

Q: I am primarily building an income portfolio for retirement in 5-6 years. It will represent about 30-40% of my retirement income. Alongside this I like to invest in some equities for capital gains. My question revolves around the need for any value investments I have owned EFV for about 10 years and really has done nothing. I also own the Chou 100 and 102 funds. My question is whether or not you think to be properly diversified one should have some money in value investments. If so, what ones would you recommend.

Thank You

Paul

Q: DCM was a top pick on BNN. I had never heard of it so did a quick peak at the management presentation and the numbers on TD web broker. Not a big fan of the print business but the numbers looked amazing. According to web broker its barely trading at 1x cashflow or earnings. Does that seem right? How much cashflow are they actually generating and what is the total level of debt?
What are you current thoughts on the company?

Q: I have questions about the recent acquisition and stock offering for Milestone, one of my largest holdings.

1. They did not mention whether the acquisition is accretive - is it accretive?
2. Why would they sell about 185 M worth of stock for a 242M property, especially since they are also disposing of another property?
3. They say the NAV of properties will increase by a net amount of about 300 M, yet the cost of the property is 242M (and recall that this includes a disposition of one property) - isn't it a bit hard to b believe that they got a 300 M property for 242M? Is this possible? Or are they playing with the numbers?

Q: (You may receive this twice, but when I sent in the message a few minutes ago, I received an error message that suggests it may not have gotten through.)

Do you have an estimated date for when these companies report their 3Q earnings, and whether they may have telegraphed expectations? Thanks.

Q: This stock has had a great run but its latest results, which seemed to be pretty solid, didn't move the stock. Do you think most of the growth is pretty much wrung out of it now and that it should be viewed as largely an income stock? The main reason for my question is that I am currently more interested in a stock that combines both growth and income such as FEZ or BEP.(sector not important)

Appreciate your insight.
