Q: Can I have your opinion on DR? The basics seem reasonable but it is a very small company, so I'm thinking of a half position just to get a toe in.

Q: Hi Guys,
Would you purchase Winpak at todays price of $49.46? It is trading with a PE above 24.
I know it is a good company, but is now the time to buy or should I wait for a POSSIBLE reduction in price.
Thanks
John

Q: A hold a small position in CBO. Last week in the Globe John Heinzl discussed CBO's return of capital as part of its distribution or yield. He stated that an investor holding CBO gets a fatter distribution now that will be partially offset by a capital loss such that the investor's net return will be approximately the yield-to-maturity of the bonds less the fund's expenses. I didn't realize that CBO returned capital and now I am wondering whether I should be holding this ETF or not. I hold little fixed income in my portfolio currently but receive a defined benefit pension. Would you care to comment on CBO? Is there another CDN bond ETF that you would recommend instead? Thanks for all you do!!
Q: Any thoughts on this co? . Thanks Alnoor
Q: I have done pretty well with BEP.UN but am wondering how sustainable it is at this price. With a yield of 5.96% and according to my BMO Investorline a P/E ratio of 3929. Has it just been rising on the strength of 'Renewable Energy' in its name? Thks for yr valuable insight as always.
Q: May I please have a current opinion on ISV? I checked the Q&A section and it has been a couple of months since your last view was published. The dividend looks very attractive. Thank you again for your excellent service.
Q: Would a switch from Trimac TMA to Gamehost GM make any sense? - are they equally risky? Or should one hold either? Thanks Jim
Q: Hi 5i:
Your last comment on Endo (ENL, ENDP.US) was Feb 29th and at that point you thought that it was unduly beaten down by the market given the company’s recent performance and outlook. That was when it was over $40 US. Now that it is under $30 US, what do you make of it? Is it worth continuing to hold or have fundamentals deteriorated to the point where alternative holdings in the same space look much better? How does it stack up on a comparison with CXR? Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i team,
I’m concerned on Amaya’s future after reading this article in La Presse+ on April 2nd.
According to the article Michael Shatilla a Westmount broker and Jacques Lemelin a day-trader are part of a group that wish to obtain authorisation for a collective law suit against Amaya and its directors. They have deposited in Quebec’s Superior Court in order to get compensation for investors who lost after trading between March 31st 2014 and March 22nd 2016. They claim that privilege information was shared in order to boost the price of AYA in order to buy Poker Stars. Other distinctive law suits are in the works in the United States as AYA not only trades on the TSX but also the Nasdaq.
The fact that David Baazov has stepped down was appreciated by the markets. How much damage can this law suit do to AYA and is this going to keep the price down making it easier for the company to go private or is it too early to comment?

Q: Hello Team
Just wondering when we will see the blog on AYA?
Peter.

Q: In an earlier reply on BNS you said it was up 12% over the year well ahead of other Canadian banks. Looking at 1 year chart from TMX shows BNS -1.29 over 1 year, BMO 3.91%, CM 6.25%, TD 3.49% and RY -1.5%. This data does not include dividends. Also looking at 10 year data you see significant differences in performances between Canadian banks and this was the same 15 years ago. Unfortunately, I could not paste the graph to prove my point but you can easily compare stocks using TMX Money over various time periods.

Q: Please comment on the following:
While it is exposed to oil in the west, Artis will still be able to cover dividends and, even if they cut common dividends would continue paying preferreds.
Second, reset preferred shares in general have been knocked down as rate increases failed to occur and exposure to oil in the west has pushed some down even further.
Third, Artis will likely recall AX.PR.A in September of 2017 when it comes up for reset, especially if rates are increasing at that point. I understand that Riocan recently recalled a reset. Currently trading around $17, AX.PR.A would be recalled at $25 if that happened. Worst case, assuming falling oil doesn't hurt Artis further and/or they don't recall AX.PR.A is that you continue to collect a pretty decent dividend when it is reset.
This is just speculation on my part. Please comment.
