Investment Q&A

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

Q: I read your review of 2/23/17 which explains the financial fundamentals; ergo, would you consider this a good, safe, long-term buy & hold? I am thinking of buying for my wife's account. She currently holds FTS in one of her accounts. This would, by comparison, be a small holding vs the size of her total portfolios.

Q: Please dock two questions for this:

1. Would EIF be best held in a TFSA or non-registered account?
2. What would you recommend for a high divdiend paying stock in the consumer space for a non-registered account. Would BPF.UN be a good choice?

Q: Box.un is 5 percent of my non-registered holdings with my cost at $16.00. There doesn't seem to be much more upside from the current market price and, if perchance, the takeover should fall thru, box.un will drop back to the $26 range. The risk of holding seems too high. Is there any chance the buyout could fall thru and would you hang on or unload the stock?
Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,
What did you think of NPI’s report? The stock does not seem to be selling off very hard today, despite the down market day. My main question is the status of the strategic review. There was no mention of it at all in the detailed press release. It was announced last July so it seems to be getting a little long in the tooth. Thanks for any thoughts!

Q: On Friday there was a question to the effect of is EMP.A about to turn around. I live in a Vancouver suburb and the Safeway store anchors a small neighbourhood mall which became a no go zone for many in the community after Empire took over the operations. I sit on a local community board and we were concerned because the usual patrons had given up - shelves not stocked, disorganized displays, poorly trained staff etc etc. However, very recently things have markedly improved. My wife, who had given up on the store, came home yesterday and said it was the first time ever thatthe parking lot was full. I go in occasionally and it is better, in fact it is now a better operation than under Safeway. I would say it is a good time to look at the stock.

Q: I have been a longtime owner (10+ years) of PSI and ARX which are held in my RRSP. Their performance over that time has been ok but not stellar.I am considering selling one or both and replacing them with IPL,VET, or KWH.UN. I am more interested in income with reasonable growth at this point in time. Thanks, Joe
