Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am setting up a new portfolio for a friend and am thinking of suggesting WCP. I know you like the company but I was wondering about hedging and how it works in the oil industry. When oil first dropped, concerns of certain companies (I forget which ones in particular were noted) were alleviated because hedges were in place. As time moves on and these hedges expire, do the same companies have new hedges in place, and if so, at what price? Are companies, WCP included, in danger of lowering there dividends as time goes on because these hedges are expiring?

Thanks for the insight.

Q: Is this a BUY at this level and yield .... Seems insiders are recent buyers to the tune of 3500 and 29000 shares ... You suggest it has a sustainable dividend, currently but situations can change ... But with recent acquired companies and once the Iran issue is clearer and some suggest better oil prices by year end this stock may recover substantially ... Your insights please .. And thx

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

We hold HCG in several accounts.

It's down substantially in our grand children's RESP, so we probably should just hang on as it's only 3.2% of a well diversified portfolio that won't be needed for over four years.

However, in my RRIF that holds many 5i recommendations, I'm still up over 8% as it's been a long-term holding. Should I hang on and "hope for the best", or swap it for another divided paying financial stock that has better prospects going forward? (We hold BNS in a margin account).

As always, your advice is highly valued.

Q: Do you folks have a vantage point that gives you insight into who's selling off CPG? (i.e insiders or institutional investors) I know that their reputation as a serial stock issuer is a sore spot but in my mind the $2.5B shelf prospectus is just a positioning move in the event that casualties with good assets surface. The volumes today were almost double the average. Severe punishment over the past few days!! Any comments would be appreciated.

Q: Dear 5i,
What are your top 5 growth picks (from your growth portfolio) to buy at this time? It is for an RRSP that would not need to be used for 10+ years. There is need to worry about sector / mkt cap as we own to many stocks. From growth portfolio we have already accumulated: AVO, CXI, DHX, XTC, PHM, PLI, SCR, AYA
Thanks for all you hard work,
Kerri

Q: HCG took a big hit today on downgrades. Yet its ROE is still above 20% and it is a dividend grower. Concerns are over lack of growth of new single family mortgages and conservative policies. I would look at this conservative approach as positive in present housing market. I have a small position in HCG. Should I panic or use this low price as a buying opportunity? Thank you.
