Investment Q&A

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

Q: Stock screeners. Could you suggest web sites with a great stock screener tool - free or paid?

Failing that could you list Canadian companies that currently pay a dividend above 2.75 % and have no debt?

Q: I read in the G&M that iron ore prices were basically at their peak, by some estimates. I bought LIF in January, knowing it in a cyclical industry. I am a buy and hold investor but I knew I would not hold on to LIF for very long i.e. 1-2 years at most I made a nice profit since then and received 2 delightful dividends… How can one estimate the likelihood that LIF’s share price can grow from here and jump out if in all probability it is not going to materially grow in the next year or so? The SP has not been this high in 10 years. What would be factors that would lead us to believe the SP will continue marching higher in this case? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

Please help me understand something. Was the recent substantial run up in LIF's price since mid June followed by today's substantial decline of over 6% all attributable to the special dividend of $1.75 that was announced on June 15 with an ex-date of today? Are there those out there who chase dividend payouts even if it means putting up 40K to realize 1.75K, while also assuming the risk that the stock might head south?

If so, is there anything to be learned about LIF's future prospects from the recent dividend driven activity and, if not dividend driven, what else might have caused such a decline today? For such a pricey stock it seems pretty volatile.

Thanks for your insight.

Peter

Q: If I were to pick one of these three - STLC, RUS and LIF - strictly on SP growth in the next two year time span, which would be the choice? Also, on a scale of 1 to 10 for SP growth what would be your ratings of the three? Thanks.
