Investment Q&A

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

Q: I've owned Game Host since 2016 mostly for income. I used its monthly 5% dividends and put them towards my mortage payments. Since my mortgage interest is now 2.85%, I think it makes sense. I just wanted to check if the company is still doing "ok" to continue with my strategy (GH.CA is a 2.0% position relative to my total account and 1 of 5 income stocks that pay my mortgage interest). Could you share some of its metrics, like debt-to-equity and other metrics that matter to income stocks?

Q: I just bought more Tricon today after RBC downgraded the share price target from $14 to $13. Am I missing something here? I have looked at this company very meticulously - management has hit its numbers consistently over the years and the recent merger looks great in terms of scale - why the consistent market punishment?

Q: On July 22 you stated that NFI is listed as Consumer Cyclical...are you sure? When I check the TSX website I can’t find Consumer Cyclical stocks. There are Consumer Discretionary stocks but NFI is not listed as one. To the best of my knowledge there is no heading using the word Cyclical. Of course we understand Material and Energy stocks are cyclical. Consumer Discretionary stocks would seem to have the potential to be cyclical since the consumer could elect not to purchase. Peter in the past has warned us that NFI is a cyclical company but maybe he could clarify what makes it so. I suppose in times of high unemployment people could stop taking the bus to work. Large buses are used by the tourist industry to transport visitors so I guess that could be a cyclical use too. Any other uses? With the retirement of us Baby Boomers we seem to be traveling more (speaking for myself) then when we were working and that seems to be a fairly strong trend which should be good for another 10 to 15 years. This trend should help a company like NFI don’t you think?
