Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have US$ in a US account and I am looking for how to best allocate the money. I am a little light in industrials, but was thinking about adding NFI and CAE in CAD accounts, or is there a better US company to add to my portfolio.

Other options are:

Healthcare I have about 5% in GUD and CSH, but I could add a US company or ETF

Or just keep it simple and add IWO.

As always thanks for the guidance.

Q: Good Morning 5i,

Yesterday I read an article in the Financial Post that was talking about how the Liberal govt was planning on putting aside 25% of the existing total allowable catch of Arctic surf clams to issue a new license that will be open to expressions of interest from “Indigenous entities” from the four Atlantic provinces and Quebec. I hold shares in CLR and I'm concerned that this could be a potentially massive setback to the companies operation. Especially since they have recently been investing heavily in new ships.

Is this old news and already accounted for in the share price? Or do you think this is the time to sell my shares in the company?

Q: Any insight or info on the ICC sell-off the last several trading sessions? Over a week removed from earnings release so would have expected to see that last week.
I know you're not huge fans of the sector and even less so on an Uruguay play but any intel would be appreciated. I do find it a more interesting option than the oversaturated Canadian players.

Q: I would like to hear from you on the potential impact that bad policies such as the rise of minimum wage, high power costs in Ontario and the risk of losing the NAFTA framework may have on good companies that were thriving under previous governments.

Q: Canaccord has identified CanadianTire as one of their top 10 dividend stocks.

2 questions here:

1. Is there any information as to the sales volumes and comparable profitability between their 3 major divisions: Canadian Tire stores, Marks Work Wear House and Sport Check? And if so, projected future numbers.

2. Would you agree with Canaccord's opinion?

Thanks.

Q: Hi there
Love your service. I have held NWC for quite a well and like that it has a rather protected market in geographically isolated places, plus it's dividend and steady price.
I was thinking of adding to my position to bring it up to 5%. I would like your opinion of their recent earnings, prospects going forward and any thoughts on their damage in their Caribbean stores e.g. although some are damaged will their sales ramp up in the rebuild.

Thanks

stuart
