Investment Q&A

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

Q: Within each of their sectors, CPX and GSY seem to have suffered larger drops than their peers.

Can you comment on why they each have been so negatively impacted and provide your thoughts on whether you think they should be continued to be owned or do you have other preferences in these sectors, if one's goal is income and some growth.

Thank you

Q: Hi 5i,

I have a couple of questions about the noted companies - please deduct as you see fit.

I'm interested in dodging direct tariff risks, and it occurs to me that these two names fit that criterion because of their all Canadian business models. Do you think that conclusion is sensible?

Are there material differences between them leading to a clear favourite over the next 5 years? I note the SIA dividend is substantially larger than that of CSH, but would it be reasonable to assume this will be offset by greater share growth by CSH, over time?

And finally, would you consider one (or both) of them appropriate for a RRIF?

Thanks 5i - I look forward to your thoughts. Peter

Q: Can you please provide some thoughts on its recent softness. Other stocks like WSP and STN have held up relatively much better, during the current market setback. Stock price is now off over 20% + from its recent high of $84 and and continues to be in a downtrend. Is present valuation expensive, compared to its peers ?

We have a 2.5% holding with an ACB of $73. Do you see potential for recovery in the stock price or should we let it go ? Please support your view with reasons to hold or sell.

Thank You

Q: What would be your favorite Consumer staples/defensive names at this time and are they over valued now, or continue to be a flight to safety, considering the circumstances of the day. Your thoughts on the above or any additional companies for this sector.
Thank you,

Q: Hello,

I hold BNS:CA for dividends. It has been dropping in price recently and I am looking to add to my position. I seem to remember it is a long term favourite within the bank stocks. Given the current Canadian and global "uneasieness", would your opinion change or would shift to TD:CA or XXX:CA (a bank) be in order. I have read the recent Q/A re: BNS:CA in the database,

Q: Any stocks dropping that you feel represent a good buying opportunity? Perhaps something being sold that is an ‘overreaction’ or will look like a good buy in a year or so from now? Thanks
