Q: Good afternoon 5i
I have been hanging onto nfi, thinking there might be brighter futures. Recently, however, I have been reading about the prominence and advanced features of Chinese electric vehicles, including busses. It seems that the only thing keeping them out is tariffs. I am really concerned that if they had free reign that the hopes for nfi would dwindle. Tariff policies can be changed. What likelihood of more permissive tariff policies for Chinese electric vehicles happening.
Thanks for your great work

Q: Everyone, I am not sure when the information overload started but there is so much information out there that it makes you pick and choose the sites that you feel are the best for you. If you could list a few paid and free sites it would be appreciated. At this point this is my only paid site ( I use to have three) and all the free sites (CNBC and BNN). I really hate all the talking heads on most shows because they are usually promoting something. Clayton

Q: How safe do you think Magna’s dividend is?

Current earnings/cash flow seem to cover the dividend quite well, and buybacks could always be stopped/reduced if needed to maintain the dividend.

Even if it takes a few years for the auto industry to recover, Magna’s over 5% dividend yield at least pays us to be patient (assuming Magna can adapt to whatever the future of the auto industry looks like)?

Q: Perhaps am looking for unicorns. I have some money to deploy and I am looking for companies that have the balance sheet to ride out the current situation whether it lasts another two months or >12 months. My basic criteria were those potentially undervalued, dividend over 3%, div growth of at least 5% and a decent payout ratio. Any suggestions appreciated, thanks for your help.

Q: Hi Gang,

If you had 40K CAD to invest in an unregistered account for a short 2 yr old.. given the environment in which we are in....Where would you invest? Sector is irrelevant - CAD stock is a must (I can't stomach the hit on conversion) UNLESS there is a CDR you would recommend although I know you prefer the real deal. Can be one or multiple. Goal is to maximize growth while preserving capital. Thank you!
