Investment Q&A

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

Q: In the US last week, there was a landmark agreement with the National Realtors Association that should change the way commissions are determined across the board. There should be more competition with lower commissions. Can you comment on how the decision and the new direction might impact the housing market here in Canada and what impact it may have on companies in the real estate buy/sell market? What companies might be affected? How big might the impact be? Who could be winners and losers?

Q: I am looking for a good dividend payer in a non-registered account. The industry does not really matter but a stable dividend and preferably a growing dividend would be important for the next 3 years.

Would Cascades be a good bet? If it is, what would be a reasonable entry point for price?

Thank you.

Why is it that only American analysts recommend selling a stock and not Canadian analysts ?
For instance the three analysts that recommend selling Fortis are all American.
Thank you

Q: Assume that you've come across LMN's annual report. You have no idea the name of the company and its attachment to CSU. You area also aware of past metrics, and other numbers - the short history that it has.

Question - based on seeing these numbers, what do you see as a reasonable P/C and P/S valuation (or any other better valuation metric) for this unknown company in an assumed economic slowdown....just roughly. Thanks.

Q: What would be your opinion of the 50 for 1 split to be voted on in June? I know these splits don't change the company but can help generate buzz with more retail investors seemingly able to buy more shares to form a meaningful position. My question would be do you think CMG have the same ability like a TESLA or Netflix which are two I can think of off the top of my head that split and then ran back up towards their previous pre split price.? thanks

Q: WSP is frequently favourably mentioned in the Q & A and its share price has been on a nice run (about 30% in the last 12 months). But at present its P/E is about 50 and its Price / Cash Flow is above 28. Are these matrices somewhat concerning? Apart from J:US (which I also own), do any of its peers look more appealing? Thanks much for your excellent service.
