Investment Q&A

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

Q: Thanks to you Peter, I purchased Winpak (a co I'd never heard of) when I first joined 5i over 5 years ago. and am up about 75%. That said, it's been flat for the past 3 years and, since it's now in my TFSA, I'm wondering if it's time to sell for either a growthier or a higher-dividend paying company. I'm prepared to be patient, but if you see WPK as having a low dividend and slow growth future, perhaps it's not an ideal TFSA holding. Your thoughts appreciated.

Q: I am a conservative, retired, dividend-income investor. I normally save up to 5% "full positions" for typical blue chip stocks, like the telecoms, pipelines, banks, etc.

I have partial positions in Leon's (2% position), Magna (2%) and Nutrien (1.5%). Would you add to any or all of these? At this stage in the market cycle, would you favour one over the rest...please rank.

Thanks...your guidance throughout 2019 was much appreciated...love the service.

Q: I note that while you and others have highlighted pressures on NFI (pre mid Dec) the news flow of orders appears to have improved of late and there has been a concurrent effort by NFI to maintain a professional approach to their business prospects. I guess the question is does the hesitancy with respect to their prospects, and particularly their share price, still apply and are the new orders significant or already factored in. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5I: Just a miscellaneous query. BYD.UN has recently reorganized and has become BYD. Someone here threw out the idea that this company might want to list in the USA and you answered saying there are no such plans known. But if they ever did want to list in the USA, what would they trade under....there already is a USA company with that ticker, "BYD", (Boyd Gaming Corp). Would they have to use a different ticker there? would that cause confusion?
Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: My question is about GC. Am reviewing my TFSA positions and am trying to decide whether to continue to hold or move on to something else. Short term seems to be "dead money" but longer term may see return to good growth. I am okay waiting for 3-5 yrs, but not if there is little growth over that time frame. What level of comfort do you have with the management team's near term execution and capex returns? The money laundering issues have seemed to die down somewhat. Do you think that there could be a take-over because of the current valuation?
Thanks
