Q: Hello Team
TD Waterhouse states that the dividend Payout ratio of WIN is 201%. Does that mean that they are paying out 201% more than the cash they are taking in? Other than that all their fundamental numbers seem to have (+) signs. What does the 5I team make of their numbers.

Thank You
Clarence

Q: Hi Mr. Hodson. Thanks for the question opportunity.
My question is re: today's Globe&Mail article titled 'Why banks should be feeling very, very afraid'. He recommends shorting the banks because they would be dinosaured by Apple pay, Google pay, paypal etc. technology, Just like entertainment, publishing, travel-agency industries.
I am worried. I have 20% of portfolio in Canadian banks for dividends for pension.
Should I trim the banks? Thank you so much. sarah

Q: Hi 5i team,

In the medium to long term, I believe you would agree that US economy is heading for a much better growth compare to Canada (unfortunately). In which case, wouldn't you advise increasing US exposure for Canadians to 50%, if not much higher? The current exposure recommended by 5i is around 20% as I understand. Can you please shine some light on this, are there implied risks that we are not aware of?

Thanks as always,
Jerry

Q: Hello,

Considering that WIN is at 52 weeks lows and the 7% yield, do you think it's "safe" to use it as bond replacements?

Thanks
