Investment Q&A

Q: Is FCR breaking down or moving into a buy zone or otherwise?

Q: Hey Peter & Team,

To date I have done very well on EFN and yesterday as a prudent measure not ever wanting to be the pig that gets slaughtered took some profit off the table.

Today I noticed the recent financing via Element Financial Corp Sub Receipts (EFN/N) is up almost 9% from $17 - $18.50 on 2.02 million volume while EFN is down 1.22% to $18.57.

Can you help me better understand the relationship between these two issues and what EFN/N increasing from $17 - $18.50 means for us little people.

Thanks for all you do

Q: I have positions in AVO, CXI, DHXb and DRT from the growth portfolio and would like to add another to my wife's TFSA. Assuming a generally balance portfolio (except a bit overweight in financials), which would you add from the growth portfolio? Thanks

Q: Can I get your opinion on the recent 10%+ SP erosion. Did it get oversold due to the $500 dividend bonus and now buyers are selling off after the Xdate?

Q: 5I Team,

I'd like to get your views on the public offering by Infor Acquisition Corp. It seems to me to be a very unique risk/return dynamic given the special purpose acquisition company structure and, given the people behind it, seems quite compelling. It makes me wonder if there is something I might be missing so I'd appreciate hearing your analysis and comments on the shares.

Thanks

Q: Good Afternoon,
What are your favourite ETFs and/or mutual funds for Emerging Market exposure and EAFE? Thank-you.

Q: Is there a site that gives accurate PEG ratios on a forward earnings basis? Thanks for your help

Q: Hello, thanks to 5I I feel comfortable with my diversified assets here in Canada, and I'm happy with what I have in the U.S.
Can you recommend some ETF's that can help me cover the rest of the world(maybe 3-4)? I'm ok with risk and can hold for 10+ years if needed. What would your total percent weighting recommendation be for these?
I would like to hold these in a TFSA, but what would the tax implications be? Or would it be better to keep them in an RRSP account because of the implications?
Thanks as always, I greatly appreciate your advice.

Q: Can you comment on the earning for pivot, seems sales have slowed down quite a bit, was thinking of taking a position now that it has come back from the highs. They are still going a head with their .03 divident which would be a almost a 7% yield, would this divident be sustainable?

Q: Your response to today's report please. Thank You.

Q: I need to get back into oil at some point. Could you please comment on the prospects of Rock Energy and Painted Pony over the next year or so. Many thanks.

Q: After analysis of my portfolio, and finally realizing that building a diversified portfolio is key to limiting risk as much as possible I've discovered that I need to add to the following sectors. Would you please suggest 2-3 companies that I could add to these sectors to help my diversification. Since I'm retired some yield and a company's ability to sustain and increase it would be helpful.
1. Utilities (currently 5% of portfolio) Already own BEP.UN
2. Industrials (currently 7% of portfolio) Already own BIN and WSP
3. Info Tech (currently 5% of portfolio) Already own ESL and XLK.US
4. Energy (currently 4% of portfolio)Already own HSE
5. Materials (currently 0% of portfolio) I own no companies
Thanks again for your guidance.

Q: I've been sitting on POE for a couple of years waiting for a home run. It hasn't happened. There are a few moving parts to the company (Thailand producing oil fields/Indonesia gas exploration/Canadian SAGD test plant)so it's a bit complex. How would 5i rate the potential of POE?
