Investment Q&A

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

Q: I saw that Citigroup downgraded NTR to neutral from buy. Can you go over their report? They seem to now have a 12 month target of $47 down from $61 (please confirm that this target is in US $ and not Cdn $) Seems like NTR went down on Friday 14th due to this? What is your current view on NTR?

Q: Peter & Co.,
I am reviewing Vermilion’s operation, financials and dividend in light of the Coronavirus. The virus is still largely an unknown factor in world health and economics. However, the impact on travel and commerce is certainly being felt. Among my concerns is the short/long term impact on energy consumption. Vermilion has 60% of its production in North America and 35% in Europe. Is there any way to evaluate what impact we can might expect on VET over the longer term?
With appreciation, Ed

Q: I just become member today and trying to familiarize with your contents on website.
What portfolio should I consider for TFSA and for my RRSP. I really like your BE portfolio but there are total 25 holdings. Leaving aside portfolio consideration, what would be your opinion/suggestion for me to buy in BE today for my TFSA. If you could suggest at least 7 to 10 holdings as I have all my TFSA contribution in cash (all of my 67 K so far) in Investment account.

Q: Do you believe that PFB could represent a good investment opportunity given the potential structural rise in residential housing construction in the United States?

Can you shed some light on debt, dividend sustainability, insider ownership and others factors that you can think of?

Much appreciated.

Q: Hi 5i team,

I like the big cap Consumer Discretionary names for growth, and with lower beta than the tech names I own. I think the U.S. consumer is still alive and well. There hasn’t been a question on TGT since it issued its earnings warning in mid-January, as SSS were slower than expected over the Xmas season. If I recall, TGT attributed it to softness in toys and electronics, which it brushed off as not being key categories. The stock sold off but is coming back, so I think that warning is now baked in for the Q4 results. Since then, we have the coronavirus and many factories in China are closed. I think TGT sources many products from China. There could be another warning coming from TGT for Q1 on inability to secure product. What do you think of TGT here?

Thanks again for the insight.
