Investment Q&A

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

Q: Still a new-ish member, wondering about the March 1 Research Report.

Am I correct in thinking that this extensive list does not represent necessarily your favorite stocks, just ones you have decided to do research on? I assume our favorite stocks are in the Model Portfolio instead. I am just wondering what criteria you use for a stock to make the research list, since there are many stocks you like in the Questions area which are not on the Research list.

Thanks so much, Peter, Ryan and team!

Q: Hello Peter....Since recently signing up for 5iR, I'm doing more homework as like trying to guess your response to questions. About the comparison of PPL and ENB, I looked on the free Bloomberg site for info and it shows ttP/E as 34.5 and 85.0, respectively and then forward P/E as 32.0 and 23.9. And you mentioned ENB is cheaper. When doing a comparative analysis, what are the reason for using the forward P/E rather than the trailing ratio? Also what accounts for the significant difference between trailing and forward P/Es? Exit question: For these two companies, Bloomberg doesn't show PEG ratios. (?) What "weight" do you place/give to this ratio for analysis purposes?.........Enjoy a deep freeze week-end....Tom M

Q: Peter,

FTP (Fortress Paper) is trading at 10 year low and at a fraction of its book value. Is this company going to survive? What do you think of the management? Is this a good entry point to go long?
Thanks.

Q: You have advised to notice the start of dividend payment as a significant event in corporate development and investment worthiness.
Could you please list companies that have started dividend payments over the past 2 years plus any comments you have on them. Is there a site to find this sort of information? Thank you.
