Investment Q&A

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

Q: I'm trying to find reasons not to buy a little taste of this. With all of the oockroaches etc hiding here, what are the odds of a takeover? Would another company step in here and purchase and if so, what could a projected sale price look like? At what point does the risk/reward make sense if a buyout is unlikely?

My thought is that if the company/governance is terrible but the business is excellent there has to be a price that makes sense but admittedly I am just looking for a reason to do it!

Q: A year ago I asked for your assessment of the prospects of Fiserv. A year later it is up substantially. Given its share price gains and recent earnings release I would appreciate an update on your assessment of the company over 3-5 years. I would also like your opinion on this stock being a buy, hold, or time to take some profit off the table?

Thanks very much.

Q: I'm considering a new position in MU and/or VRT. The latter has run up, the former hasn't recovered from the tech reversal. Would you favour either one for a new position, or if there is enough funds, would you try to own both? Thanks.

Q: Hi, With the stock's magnificent rally of 25%, Today, after the blow out results, would you consider trimming and rebalancing the SHOP weight in the Balanced Portfolio ( Should be 8.5%, I believe, now from 5.96%, Oct end ) ? Or, you would be comfortable with it and let it run ?

Thank You

Yet another question about this name .. I know u like names with strong momentum and certainly this is the case here at the present time .. do u expect this price action to carry on here and do u believe the stock price will fall back to the low thirties when I bought or will it continue to chug along higher with some volatility on occasion .

Q: Hello Peter,
CSU's results did not beat estimates , yet stock is up. If other companies had similar results, the response in the market may not be that great. Is it due to constellation's history of being a good capital allocator? I saw this article on yahoo, link provided with an extract ,

"Toronto-based Constellation reported third-quarter financial results after the closing bell on Friday, booking a higher profit on an annualized basis, topping analyst expectations. Revenue for the three months ended Sept. 30 fell shy of estimates, while rising nearly 20 per cent year-over-year to US$2.5 billion."

Question,

Could you explain the higher profit that exceeded the estimates in the above extract? Thanks very much

Q: Hi 5i,
I really like your creation of DOCCKS through amalgamating those 6 Canadian names, and the comparative 5 yr history you've put together of some salient numbers.
I think it might be helpful to also see where the money comes from, and wonder if you would also be able to break down the geographical origin (percentagewise) of each company's revenue and, further, compare those results to the net profit, FCF etc resulting from each geographical source of revenue?
Thanks 5i,
Peter
