Investment Q&A

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

Q: NFI had fair bit of news over the holidays. The market seemed reasonably happy with it all. Could you give some colour to all the new bus contracts? Also, somebody on BNN was expressing concern about the competition opening up in the EV category and NFI's ability to compete. Do you have anything to add to that? I noticed one of the contracts included EV's from NFI.

TIA

Q: I am invested in the balanced portfolio and would like to understand what makes SU more attractive than IMO?
EPS and D/E appear similar and the SU dividend is slightly higher.
P/E for SU is 14 vs 9.6 for IMO.
Thank you for sharing your insight.

Q: Considering selling My position in AD at an 8% capital gain plus dividends over the last year. Selling to raise cash for a pullback in the market.
It’s one of the higher risk stocks in the portfolio and it is near the target price of a number of analysis. What do you think? Also taking a serious look at selling into the strength of MMX.
I’ve held it for less than a month, and am up 20%.
The target by cibc is $7.75 with the rise in gold , I know this can change. Also thinking that the rise in gold may already be price into mmx. What does your experience say?

Q: I note that while you and others have highlighted pressures on NFI (pre mid Dec) the news flow of orders appears to have improved of late and there has been a concurrent effort by NFI to maintain a professional approach to their business prospects. I guess the question is does the hesitancy with respect to their prospects, and particularly their share price, still apply and are the new orders significant or already factored in. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5I: Just a miscellaneous query. BYD.UN has recently reorganized and has become BYD. Someone here threw out the idea that this company might want to list in the USA and you answered saying there are no such plans known. But if they ever did want to list in the USA, what would they trade under....there already is a USA company with that ticker, "BYD", (Boyd Gaming Corp). Would they have to use a different ticker there? would that cause confusion?
Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: I currently hold TFII in my portfolio and am considering a switch to SIS for a long term hold. Which of the these two look best over the next 2 or 3 years to you? Is it worth a change?

Q: I was thinking of buying into A&W consistently over the next 3 to 5 years. What do you think about having good old A&W as a very long term holding?
They keep raising the dividend and adding new stores to the Royalty Pool every year. I also personally love their food. I do not want to trade a lot. Looking more so to buy and hold.
It is 2020 now and I can see A&W lasting for at least another 15-years with positive SSSG. Was hoping on owning this company until 2060.
Would love to hear your thoughts.

Q: I'm an owner of the Balanced Equity portfolio. I had to turn over a lot of the portfolio in the second half of last year due to some transactions I was doing. I'm now back to having my cash and looking to rebuild the part of the BE portfolio I'm missing.

How do you see GIL for new purchases today? Any key BE names other than this one I should focus on now given market conditions today?
