Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Peter,
I have small amount of cash left in my TFSA. My current stock holdings are FFH, GIB.A, GUD, SJ, and DEE (less than 1 percent). I would like to deploy it with the hope of a good pop in one of the three stocks 2-5 year timeframe. Which one would make the most sense (HBC, GS or POT)? Much appreciated. Thank you in advance for this reply and other detailed explanations you have provided in the past.

What is your opinion about this company (Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corp. Class C
NYSE: AGM), considering the financials as a long term hold? I was considering the COW etf but the MER and some of the companies owned within COW are not to my liking..Would this be a good option for the agriculture sector (although it is really financials) in the longterm.. Thanks. Regards, Shyam

Q: As a follow-up question to yesterday, when you suggested TPH ... What could be the possible effect of the Fort McMurray properties to this stock? Out of a total 13 properties in Alberta, I note that 8 of them are situated in Fort Mac.

Q: I am wondering who pays BDI to accommodate the unfortunate people who have lost their homes in Fort McMurray? I rode this stock all the way down (over 75 percent loss) and am wondering how far it could recover now that they are housing displaced Fort McMurray residents.

Q: I purchased 50 shares of ENL at 36.5 Canadian considering it was very cheap on a valuation basis. Looking at their earnings they will be earning almost US 4.9 per share in 2016. After hours the stock is down to USD 20. This price makes it around 5 times earnings. Do you suggest I bail out at the market in the morning or should I keep holding for next several months for the price to recover.

Q: Not including Brookfield Renewable (which I already own), what would be your top 2 picks for a renewable energy company, ideally with a dividend?

Thank-you

Q: I was looking to add to my position in CI since I noticed that they raised the dividend as part of the earnings release - which on the face of it looks like good news. however, when reading through the results, specifically cash flow, i noticed that the dividends and share buybacks are more than the cash flow from operations and it looks (to me) that CI has used debt to fund the share repurchase and dividend. i know people think CI is a potential take over candidate but i'm not so sure. Who knows if that is ever going to happen. given the headwinds facing CI and the industry in general i'm hesitant to put additional funds into CI. Can I get your take on CI's cash flow? And would you prefer BNS, TD or MFC as an alternative to CIX?

Q: How would you rank these 3 industrials given a 2-3 year time period?

Q: PLI went down nearly 7 1/2% today, and I suppose the bought deal must be the problem. Can you enlighten me as to just how a bought deal affects the share price in the short term?

Q: Good day 5i Team, I realize the focus is not on US stocks, but if you have an opinion, could you provide one on Solar City. I am looking to add a renewable energy stock to my Tfsa (Have BEP.UN in Rsp act). Solar City is near it's 52 week low. Also, what are the implications of holding US stocks inside a Tfsa?
