Investment Q&A

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

Q: Friday’s large drop brought Galaxy to my attention and its P/E of 3 per your data made me look further. But I don’t understand some of the other numbers: Revenue = 0, Interest coverage is negative 123.9, and Price to cash flow is 1246.
If P/E is correct it seems like a something to add to my list. I could imagine that revenue might drop if a significant portion of their customers were to drop or reduce their crypto currency activity after taking big hits on those assets.
But I don’t understand their business. Is this as cheap as it appears, and is the outlook decent?

Q: Hi 5i
You have mentioned in previous responses that REAL should/could be taken private. If this was to happen, what happens to shares holders and what do you think share price could be worth if this was to happen.

What do you think odds are of this happening?

Previous answers you have clearly stated you could not endorse the company heading into earnings....In your opinion at this point, down -68% would you continue to be holders or rushing for exits ?

Thx

Jim

Q: I bought a full position in CM at $72.70 in 2020 in an unregistered account. I generally look for dividend payers over or near 5%, so I could sell and purchase another company that pays a higher dividend. Today it is at about $165, which means a substantial capital gain.

My concept is to sell and buy something relatively stable like PPL, ENB, BCE and such. I calculate the return on my initial tax cost to be about 13-15% annually in higher dividends, at current pay levels, with what I see as similar risk.
However, I have read that the banks are maybe expected to again have a much higher than normal dividend raise, which might mean CM goes higher (assuming that isn’t already priced in).
I would appreciate your thoughts on this concept, particularly in regards to CM. Is it time to sell and put the funds to work elsewhere? I thought I had asked this question last Friday, by the way, but it is not answered so assume it is lost in the ether.
Thanks! Paul K

Q: Hello Peter,
With rising rates, it seems that banks, commodities and industrials do well. Can you please suggest some etfs in Canada that would take advantage of those sectors? For the banks, i am thinking xfn and zeb but unsure of the others. Also, the US banks are taking small hits. Do you think canadian banks will follow suit or are they very different? Thanks very much.

Q: Hi,
Looking to add a small/mid-cap Cdn insurance company, either pure P&C or a specialty/reinsurer. (already own a lifeco and banks). A 3-4 year hold planned, in my TFSA.
Which do you feel has more promise for growth, and have you been hearing of any potential acquisitions for either?
DFY has no history as a public company, so it's not likely to make it into your Growth portfolio any time soon. TSU is already there.
THX.
