Investment Q&A

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

Q: I noticed a few questions on why BPF.UN, Boston Pizza, has been weak. I would suggest that the increasing Payout Ratio is not a good sign, especially considering they have been borrowing money to buy back units in an effort to keep the POR down. That debt has to be paid back one day, which will cut into profits at that time, and possibly lead to a distribution cut. I know that is in the future, but that day will come. And won't the low Canadian dollar and drought in California lead to higher input costs for the short-medium term?

Q: Hi 5i,
Would you still give CFN (Carfinco) the same rating if you were to review it today. I am invested in it but wondering if other stocks in the same sector would be better choices right now since it might take some time for it (cfn) to recover? Thanks a lot,
Keith

Q: 5i has become invaluable to myself and many others but another tool that I use each and every day is globeinvestor.com's Watchlist. Recently I was ranking my portfolio by various headings in their Build Your Own dropdown box. One heading was Forward PE, in which I noticed that BEP.UN is 83.46. Knowing that different services have different numbers I thought I would run this past 5i - it doesn't seem right. Views?

Also is it possible that even after their huge runs upward, CSU could have a forward PE of 12.98 and HLF similar at 11.07 i.e they're both still cheap?

Thank you!
