Q: Hi, all.
I look after the finances for my father, who is 76. He lives simply in a mortgage-free home and his monthly pension more than covers his expenses. He has some cash ($40K) and a GIC ($5K)and I have maxed out his TFSA, which contains CDZ, XEG, SPB, and BNS. That's it for his investments. I would like to add to his TFSA and, based on some of your answers, was thinking Sunlife and/or Boyd.
I would appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you

Q: Good morning - I am comparing HCG & FN.
HCG - PE 11 Yield 1.4% Payout Ratio 15%
FN PE 8.8 Yield 5.9% Payout Ratio 53%
I also assume that both companies will be affected by raising interest rates.
Your thoughts please.
Thank you as always

Q: Good Morning Peter & Team :
I think there are good investment opportunities in businesses involved in financing loans to self-employed people or people with poor or no credit history, euphemistically called "bruised credit". These are companies that provide chattel mortgages [mainly car loans] and/or "Payday" loans. The companies must have rigorous and effective loan loss controls in place. Many of the widely advertised payday loan companies such as Wonga and Cash Stores do not appear to trade on any exchange but there must be others that do.
So far I have identified Easyhome [EH], Carfinco [CFN], and Rifco [RFC] which might fit into this general category of high risk loans.
I would appreciate your advice on what other companies there are that I should consider, and I would value your opinion on the best and safest way to invest in this category, for both strong growth and at least a modest dividend.
Thankyou........... Paul
