Investment Q&A

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

Q: SPB has taken a big hit since the beginning of this month. Do you know why? The technical based on my charting look quite poor. Are there any good reasons that we should continue to own the shares, ie do you see the share price recovering and if so why? In a recent ranking of stocks to buy similar to SPB ( your answer to a question) you rated this company last out of 6 or 7 companies, Not sure that instills a lot of confidence in our retaining the shares as I sense that you are not overly positive on the company?

Q: Hi,
I have these 4 companies in my portfolio. I try to copy your balanced equity portfolio as much as possible which is why I have ENB, MX and WCP. I added SPB last year on one of your suggestions and I'm up 46% on it.
Do I have too many in this sector and should I sell them, keep them or do you have a better company to replace it with?

Q: I hold the above companies (pretty much at equal weights) in my Utilities portfolio. I need to trim because I am overweight in the sector. Perhaps I should reduce the number of holdings by 1 full position. May I please have your opinion. Thank you.

Q: Sold ALA at a lost and DHX with a gain to minimize my capital gain, with the intention to repurchase ALA 30 days later in my none registered account.

Q: I was listening to someone talking about the dire propane situation going forward in the U.S.
I didn't really get much of the picture, I tuned in precisely because I hold Superior Propane and wondered if I should look into the issue, but better still ask your opinion of that statement. Is there a reason for concern? Thank you.

Q: I am thinking of rebalancing my Dividend growth portfolios by selling some of my over weighted bank winners and buying some of my laggards and lower positions. Could you please rank these potential laggards for acquisition into a mainly dividend growth portfolio, the candidates are SIS, SYZ, PUR, AGT, CGX, AQN, SPB & DHX. Please let me know if you are really strong for any of these stocks or would really suggest avoiding any of these companies. Thank you again for your great service.
ps KHW looks like a real winner, thank you.

Q: I am looking at this company mostly for income and my research indicates that they supply some chemicals to the US Midwest. Just wondering if it is possible the quantify the effect Trump would have on this company if he slaps a tariff on these products? Are these products a large percentage of their sales?

Q: Hello 5i team,
I own a full position of CHE since 2012 and my total return of over 10% compound annual is mostly yield. As of recently, I also own half a position in MX. The other player in the field is SPB which I do not own.
(1) If you had to select only one, would it be MX?
(2) Is there a case to be made owning a position in all 3?
Thanks,
Antoine
