Investment Q&A

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

Q: This company is getting no respect of late. I thought that opening the TSX this morning would have provided some momentum, which it did to the downside.
Would you consider this a good buying opportunity now that it has a 6 handle or do you think it will languish here indefinitely until a major acquisition occurs. What percentage of a portfolio should this be for an aggressive investor?

Thanks Peter

Cheers

Q: hello 5i:
could you please comment (generally) on the new preferred shares being offered by BEP.UN. Can I purchase these through my online broker ie BMO Investorline or Scotia iTrade? How would these preferreds compare to others being offered at the moment? The reset, pegged to Canadian Treasuries seems like good protection for the investor: is it? Would these be acceptable as the fixed income portion of a diversified portfolio for someone who is (becoming) more risk averse? Held in a TFSA, is the interest taxable or not?
thanks

Q: Love the company and the demographic space that it targets. Long time holder so I have done very well. Found the name through 5i, so "thank-you". My only concern, does the large increase in share count over the last 3 or 4 years worry you at all? Do you feel the increase is being utilized correctly?

Regards,

Robert

Q: I guess I wasn't clear in my last question. Would you please rate these companies as to which would be your first choice, second choice , etc. for a 5 year investment and purchasing today. I have no US exposure but otherwise have a relatively balanced Cdn portfolio and need to deploy US$100,000. Please explain why you rated them as you did. thank you. This was the prior question: What do you think of Int'l FLavours and Fragrances and their latest quarterly results? How would you rate it relative to HD.us, PBH.us and STZ.us for a 5 year investment? Thank you.
