Investment Q&A

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

Q: I realize that there is much to like about CXI, but wonder if its post-banking-license-value is already reflected in the share price; as such, what's to prevent a sell-on-news decline? Put another way: for the price to go up, there needs to be a meaningful number of potential investors who haven't bought-in, yet, because they don't think the license is going to happen (or happen any time soon.) But there seems to be a consensus that it will, so where's the driver for price appreciation?

Q: Regarding Tom's question on Prism Medical, I was watching Prism's market depth all day and at one point there was 1200 shares on the bid at $13.50 but after that there was something like only 500 shares from $13.49 to $12.00.

Conversely, a few days ago, during Prism's rise, at one point a 2000 share buy order at marketprice would have jumped the price to $19.

Feel free to share if you think this helps.

Q: While I'm a shareholder in Boston Pizza for the income, I'm concerned about the risk to a downside in the stock price. With pressure coming from fast-food and also fast-causal, how risky is this to be held for the long term?

Q: Hi. I've been watching Trimac for a while and $6 seems to offer some support. What do you think of $6 as an entry point for a long-term hold (5 years or longer)? Thanks in advance for your great advice!

Q: Good morning,

I have been considering adding to a holding in Exco and wonder if the dip yesterday was the result of something worrisome or just profit taking and a possible buying opportunity. Any insight?

Q: Hi 5i team,
I've read back to the previous questions about the CSU rights and am still confused. Here are some more questions:
- when does the interest start accumulating?
- why do I get the privilege of using 10.596 rights to pay $115 for a debenture worth $100 (obviously I'm missing something)
- will the debentures be less attractive if I don't hold them until maturity?
- do the rights transfer with the stock? (ex., if I sell my CSU today, do I lose the rights? if I purchase more CSU today, do I get more rights?)
- how safe is the yield and/or principal?

I can't be the only Confused Canuck on this one!
As always, thanks for all your help.

Q: If the Canadian loonie were to maintain it's low level or go even lower in the future should Ms.Yellen decide to raise rates. Could you give a short list of Canadian companies that will benefit from a lower Canadian dollar that make a significant part of their earnings in US dollars ? MCB comes to mind as it does 49% of it's business in the US ?
Thanks Garth

Q: RE- BDI, SYZ, ACQ, SLW

Hello Peter, If you were to sell, how would you rank them.

Being considerably down on these, would you suggest holding any of these or better to take a loss and move elsewhere. Looks like energy and precious metal sector has no support.

Q: I am helping my mom invest for her TFSA. Currently she holds equal weights of a perpetual Brookfield preferred, Altagas (ALA), ZEB, and WSP. She has enough cash to invest in 3-4 more positions. I want to add relatively conservative dividend stocks with some growth potential. I was thinking of CGX as one of them but am not sure if it is overvalued. what would you suggest for 3-4 stocks?
