Investment Q&A

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

Q: In their recent news release they have this paragraph:
The acquisition and subsequent integration of a Schedule I bank and Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) member into Home Trust helps the Company further develop its deposit diversification initiatives much sooner than would have been expected if the Company continued to pursue its previously announced plans to apply for a separate Schedule I bank license, as described in a November 10, 2014 Home Capital press release.
Does this mean they will no longer seek to apply for Schedule 1 Bank status?
Many thanks
Mike

Q: Hello.

I'm down almost 17% on GH (non-registered account). Do you think it's worth keeping or would replacing it with IT be a better option. I have also own AYA.

Thanks

Q: Hi,
I do not understand why you include BEP.UN in your income portfolio.
This is what I read on Disnat :
P/E Ratio 145.27
Earnings/Share $ 0.26
Dividend/Share $ 1.66

The income is great, but the payout ratio seems unsustainable. Is the capital safe? Can you comment?
Thanks

Q: I cannot find any information on Home Capital's site about the geographical breakdown of their mortgages. Finally I found a Seeking Alpha article suggesting that about 3% of their loans are oil patch related and that the majority of their loans are in Southern Ontario and in the GTA specifically. Is this correct and where might this information come from so I can get more detail? Thank-you.

Q: Are you there, Peter? Its me, John.

Sorry, I had to start off with the Judy Blume reference for a laugh to prevent myself from crying over High Liner's quarterly results. Did you get a chance to listen to HLF's conference call? If so, any further insights?

Do you see anything in the report that potentially jeopardizes the business, or was it simply just a bad quarter. I have held HLF for years now and am use to them missing estimates (5 out of the last 6 reports have missed) but cant remember a time when you started an answer with "yikes", as you did with the last HLF question,(LOL).

Lastly, do you think there was any use for High Liner management to halt the stock for three minutes before issuing the earnings report?

Thanks, again. Looking forward to resubscribing with 5i soon.

John
