Q: I'm looking for some help in understanding the Sandbox transaction Alaris Royalty just reported.

Given that they didn't receive full value on the preferreds, doesn't that mean the common for Sandbox was worthless? Do you have any information on the other details of the transaction.

I've scanned the last three quarterly reports, I see quite a few top up investments, both additional Preferreds and debt. I didn't see any red flags in comments until Q3 where the investment was written down by $4 million and the rating was lowered. Certainly nothing indicated the common equity of Sandbox was worthless. It looks to me like they were blindsided.

What am I missing? Should I be concerned about a possible re-evaluation and writedowns of Alaris Royalty's other investments?

Thanks as always.
Peter

Q: I have $50k cash available for my non-registered account. Looking for 5 or 6 income stock suggestions to follow through the virus correction and that would be expected to rebound well. Would like yields of 5% or higher. Also do you have any sort of gut feeling on how far down this could go?

Q: Greetings 5i,

What a week! Looking to sort through the rubble next week and start picking away at a few hammerd down blue chips. I have a question regarding ZDY and its dividend as I have 3 different postings for it.
TD states its $1.29/year = 4.32%
5i show its $0.20/month which should = $2.40 or 8% and yet states its 3.743%.
To make it more confusing Morning Star states 3.25%.

Hmmm.. everyone can't be correct? What are the true numbers here?

Cheers!

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I am looking to fill up my RRSP with NYSE listed US dividend stocks and US Reits over the next few weeks. What would be your six top picks in order of preference for each? I am an income portfolio investor, looking for a decent dividend, with some growth potential with stocks that are currently "on sale". Also, if you could suggest one ETF for both US listed Div Stocks and US Reits. Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i team,
Regarding Rogers, Bell and Telus, judging on their readiness for 5G rollout, their most recent quarter performance, and their current valuation, which of these companies will be the best buy for a 2-3 years hold? Thanks,
