Investment Q&A

Q: Is the termination today of he Redknee deal likely to be of meaningful benefit to CSU ?

Q: CCL.B is up 18% today on news that it bought Innovia. Thoughts?

Q: Usually when a company makes a big purchase it's stock takes a hit, but CCL is up over 18% on the news of its purchase. Is this overdone? If you own should you sell now in expectation of a pullback, or contrarily if you didn't own now would you buy it here?

Q: CCLindustries hasten up ~18% this AM. Is it purely to the purchase of Innovia or is there another reason? Is this acquisition that benificial? Thanks for your insights.

Q: Please comment on the offer by Baazov being terminated? What does this mean for the future? Are the company fundamentals good? Is this a time to start buying a little?

Thank you!

Q: can you give me your opinion of the CCL purchase of Innovia
CCL market cap is about 9B. This purchase is more then 10% of its
MC.A big bite. My read is very positive, but what do I know.
CCl is a large % of my portfolio since about $89.00

Q: I have held all the stocks in the growth portfolio since inception and am thinking about moving back towards an ETF portfolio approach. If I were to proceed, would you do this gradually over time, all at once in December or January, etc?

Greetings Peter.

Q: Hi Peter and gang,
A few days ago, in a response to a question regarding MDA,
5iResearch indicated that the P/E ratio for MDA was 11X. But according to TD Waterhouse's site, MDA's P/E ratio as of yesterday was 21.5X based on an EPS of $3.07. Just wondering why there was such a big different between the two P/Es given that MDA's price did not move significantly either way over the last week or so. Thanks.

Q: Comments on Enghouse earnings release ?
Thinking of averaging down my cost after what looks like a solid earnings release. Appreciate your views.

Q: I already own Chartwell (csh.un) and like it as a stable company with a strong demographic play and nice dividend. With the recent pullback, would you suggest this is a good time to add to the position? Or should I wait for more of a pullback? In your opinion, is there a certain price in which this this company becomes a screaming buy?

Q: I hold Chartwell Retirement (CSH.UN) and have trimmed my holdings earlier this year due to overweight and the expected interest rate hike. My plan was to repurchase CSH.UN back to full weighting once the interest rate has been announced. With the US Fed announcement of a possible 3 interest rate hike in 2017, maybe I should defer this purchase until later on the year. Then again in Dec 2015, US Fed expected to raise interest rate hikes four times in 2016 but there was only one interest rate hike. Currently, the dividends are DRIP since dividend income is not required for many years. CSH.UN has increased its dividend twice since 2011. Therefore I wonder if the increase of interest rates will exceed the future potential dividend increases? What do you think of the plan to add to CSH.UN holdings or should I hold off since income is not required at this time and the DRIP over time will increase my holdings or is there another idea to consider? Thank you.

Wishing everybody at 5i and its members, best wishes for the holiday season.

Q: In my experience, Enercare is a stable equity, with a reasonable payout and a history of rising dividends, with few surprises. Anything to account for recent ongoing weakness in it's common stock [rice?

Q: Hi 5i and Merry Christmas,

Can I get your first take on TIO's Q1 results?

Many thanks!

Q: I'm having trouble understanding why TOY has been losing ground for the past few weeks. It has the best selling toy for Christmas although I understand there have been issues with keeping up with demand. Any explanation why it's been steadily dropping of late?

Q: Further to my comment on Dec 2nd: I checked, and TD Waterhouse synthetic DRIP, as you thought, will not be giving the ECI discount on shares. It has to be done through the company itself to get the discount.

Q: Would you consider XTC a buy or have the risks increased?
