Q: Hi Peter! I hold a large position in GWO through a stock purchase plan. The stock hasn't really moved a lot in recent years and I'm wondering what you think the prospects are for the company over the next 2-3 years as an investment? Ian
Q: Hi guys, what do you think of their latest earnings report. It seems like the eps/revs are growing, it's trading at 11x PE, ROE 13% and with a 7% div. Am I missing something?
Q: Hi Peter, Can you please suggest me 5 names based on today's price which I will hold until 2030 and those will have a good growing dividend? Does Fairfax financial qualify? I just mentioned FFH as I am looking for those names that will predictably increase book value and dividend on a 15% CAGR basis for next 15 years. Just want to mention that the changes 5i made to the site is very effective. Great service!!
Q: Telus is basically flat from one year ago (even including the dividend), and has compared poorly over that period to BCE and Rogers. For a long term hold in a non-registered account, do you still like it? (I already have a full position in BCE, and wouldn't go near Rogers, so if you're not keen on its prospects I'll probably look to a different sector.) Thanks!
Q: Hi 5i Team, Empire Company had a 2015 unusual expense of $1.9B, what was this related too? Also, can you explain EMP's arrangement with Crombie REIT and whether you think it is a long term positive? Also, EMP has the largest concentration of stores in Eastern Canada (ON, QC, Maritimes). Based on recent challenges in the Western provinces & demographic data/projections do you feel that Canadians moving from West to East will have a positive material impact on EMP? Thx!
Q: Hi 5i, I just received a package from GWR for a special shareholders meeting later this month. One of the items to vote on is to move the stock listing over to the US Nasdaq listing. The rationale is to add more value to the stock, open the stock up to a larger pool of investors and to simplify the structure of the company. It looks very positive to me but could I get a second opinion on this development? The only downside I see is the stock will be a US security and there are tax considerations for Canadian investors. Thanks, greatly appreciative Dave T.
Q: I currently own WSP Global at 3% weight and under water on it. I also own Stanec at only a 1% weight. Would it better to sell Stantec and add to WSP or increase Stanec to a 2-3 % weight.
