Investment Q&A

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

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
RET. is going to buy back shares at a price significantly higher than current market. Please tell me all the reasons it would do this. Of course the obvious is that it for the moment increases value for loyal share holders who are seriously under water. However I wonder about the long term. Your thoughts please. Thanks!

Q: Hi All at 5i! I was reading an article in the post which made reference to Canadian debt. Not just the debt held by individuals, but also , the debt held by corporations. In a down turn, it has been predicted that this could be a large problem for the corporations and the lenders. Are there corporations that we should stay clear of as investors, which are heavily debt laden, to the point of being a major concern? Cheers, Tamara

Q: What kind of EPS growth do you forecast over the next 1-5 years? The estimates that I have seen are similar to the past 5 years, ie quite good.

Morningstar and others have been and continue to be negative on this company, due to the highly competitive environment which is only expected to get worse. Yet, the company continues to put up good numbers. I’m confused.

Q: I would appreciate your take on Saputo's results.Revenues are up for yoy and qtr vs 3rd and last year but earnings appear weak. Is this a one-off due to the recent acquisition or something more concerning. Quite frankly I have difficulty judging the impact of IFRS accounting on the income statement. I look forward to your insight.
Thanks
Ian

Q: When you introduced the Portfolio Analytics I immediately subscribed.The information provided has been very useful. The portfolio you suggested, based on the information I supplied, is made up solely of ETF's. I have very few ETF's in my portfolio and would prefer investing in individual stocks. That being said there are sectors where an ETF would be the better option such as in Healthcare.
You have listed 11 categories. What would be your top 5 stocks to own in each category? If in some of the categories an ETF would be more suitable could you please offer 2 suggestions.
Thank you so much for your great service.
