Investment Q&A

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

Q: Could you please comment on their recent update. I was surprised to see the stock lift over 5% today with their results and with the possibility mentioned of a dividend cut. I understand low oil and Can $ is helping, but is this enough to offset other issues ? I have a small (1.3%) position (smaller now at a 50% loss than it was !) and am trying to decide if there is likely to be much upside in the next year or so. If not, then it may be one I should sell, as I am in the process of trying to reduce the overly large number of equities that I hold. Your comments, as always, would be most helpful.

Thanks

Q: Hi,

Considering the recent ruling that may allow it to be sued by customers, what do you think of this stock in the next two years? I'm at break even now. I wanted a health care stock but they seem to be taking a rest?

Q: Re Rick's question/comment to be able to "star" a question for review later.
Perhaps this might work. I know it does for me: I take a screen shot/ picture of the question which then shows up on my desktop. I then drag it into a folder on my desktop simply called "5i" - and then I am able to review these questions whenever I want and do so quite conveniently. Hope this helps.

Q: Just wondering how you report changes to the model portfolios? What I mean is, when a particular holding is removed, added or rebalanced. I don't mean price changes.

Q: Peter and Team,

Cineplex and Constellation Software are my two largest stock holdings and are now 6.0% and 7.0%, respectively of the stock portfolio.

Cineplex's earnings today were pretty good in my opinion and I like the company and the movie slate this year, but I am little concerned by the flat revenue-per-patron number and the free cashflow from last year to this year. Is this a good time to take some off the table and reduce the position to, say, 5%?

On Constellation, I love it but it is now 7% and I am wondering if I should trim it to 5% simply because its too much of the portfolio.

In the stock porfolio, I have 3.5% cash at this time if that helps.

Thanks. Great service as always.

Q: Hello,

I did very well with PHM. The CEO Michael Dalsin is starting a new company called Convalo. It was originally a resource company called Valiant Minerals (VTM) but as of next week will be trading as Convalo under the symbol CXV. They will be running substance abuse clinics which are now covered by health care insurance in the U.S.

Can you explain how a mineral company becomes a health company? Also is it a good idea to buy when it starts trading next week, or should I wait to see how it does? I've never bought into something like this. What are the risks?

Thanks,

Carla

Q: The banks seem to be big into mutual funds and TD is introducing low volatility funds, retirement funds, and shaking up their portfolios. So in the bank mutual fund space what are your overall impressions of TD Mutual Funds for the $100,000 client who does not want to manage their own investments?
