Investment Q&A

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

Q: The current price of GSY is tempting. Your market data shows a median target of $227 which is 33% over current. Earnings are expected to grow 20% next year ($20.28-16.91) which gives a forward P/E of 10 and that compares nicely to the 5 year low P/E of 7. Historically the stock has performed well, the 5 year CAGR for the stock price is 30% which doesn't include the dividend. While the numbers look tempting, the market is giving a big yawn and I wonder what I am missing that others aren't. Perhaps you could try to explain the yawn. Feel free to correct any of the numbers if Bloomberg is reporting something different.

Q: Hi 5i, "...Brookfield Corp. scrutinized for stake in Peru toll road project plagued by allegations of ‘corrupt practices’..."

https://www.thestar.com/business/brookfield-corp-scrutinized-for-stake-in-peru-toll-road-project-plagued-by-allegations-of-corrupt/article_9629182a-a364-11ef-8826-2b980726b1dd.html


There are many proofs that indicates Brookfield knew about Odebrecht corruption in Peru and went ahead an bought at reduced price 57% of "Rutas de LIma" (HighwayToll systems) , Can this harm Brookfield credibility, and integrity and the stock. Sell/Hold?
thanks

Q: I'm interested in an ETF - BANK-T - that holds mostly Canadian banks and major financial companies. I'm surprised that it's yield is about 14%+, and pays out monthly too. That seems to be too good to be true.

My question is how can BANK-T do it, consider the ETFs can only get cash from two sources - dividends from the stocks they hold and from trading gains of those stocks.

Kindly enlighten us on how they can afford to pay such hefty monthly payout? Thanks.

Q: I'm trying to get my head around EQB . I've read 5i's analysis of the company but the part I don't understand is why would " Joe Sixpack " go to them for a car loan or to renew their mortgage rather than one of the big six ? ...... Not to mention I suspect " Joe Sixpack " has never heard of them . I also don't understand why or what a Credit Union would use them for ? ..... Could 5i explain just who their market is ? And why using EQB would be more attractive than a mainstream financial institution ? Thanks for your terrific service .......
