Q: B of M is trading at a PE of below 8 with a decent yield. Why is trading at a relatively low PE ? Is it more financially exposed to the a recession? Were you you rank it amongst the Cdn banks ?

Thank you

Q: I understand from reading the latest report, your confidence in the company has come down considerably. How would you rate your confidence in management to turn things around on the revenue side and do you still consider the stock a good long term hold at these level? I had a full position but the stock has been down a lot in the last 2 years. I see many A ratings in your grade system but an overall B rating concerns me a bit. I am wondering if now is the time to move on to better opportunities? Thank you for your guidance.

Could I be missing a red flag somewhere?
Thanks

Q: What is your view of this company? It has an attractive yield an TD has a buy on it with a medium risk rating.

Q: Hi, you mention short interest from time to time. Using MTTR as an example, you say that short interest is very high at 15%. I assume this is a negative as there are a lot of shorts (or shares short) that want to drive the price down. However, some view this as a positive as any good news can force all the shorts to cover. There are also different views on days to cover. MTTR shows 6 days. Some view higher numbers, such as 10, as positive as it means there could be a sustained rally if the shorts have to spread out their buying over a longer period rather than a quick spike.

What short interest levels and number of days to cover do you view as being positive or negative influences on a stock price?
Thanks

Q: I had inadvertently marked the following question 'private' and am now sharing it, along with your response. I also have a follow up question: please rate ENB and AQN on a scale of 1-10 for both growth and safety over the next couple of years. Thank you.

Wanting to dip my toe back into the market with a 2.6% total portfolio investment. My goal is to purchase stock in a Canadian company with a dividend >2%, that is anticipated to experience strong growth in the next 2 years and is not particularly volatile. Please rank the following on a scale of 1-10 for both growth and safety: MG, SLF, TCN, LNF, and IIP.UN. Other than GSY, X, BEP and BIP (already held) are there any other Canadian companies you would recommend that would meet my criteria? Thank you.



Asked by Maureen on August 17, 2022
5I RESEARCH ANSWER:
For growth: MG 6; SLF 4; TCN 7; LNF 5; IIP.UN 4

For safety: MG 7, SLF 8, TCN 4, LNF 6, IIP.UN 7

We might add ENB, AQN, X to this list.

Q: Hello

Presently ATZ is 4.29% of my RRSP account. I have done well as a result of your help.

I am thinking of selling half of my ATZ and increasing my holding in GOOG that is only 1% of my RRSP holdings.

My thinking is GOOG is huge and appears to be safer based on its size.

Your comments please.

Thank you

Mike

Q: I went to cash towards the end of last year in my TFSA. It turned out to be the right move at the time but 8 months later I am still in cash and suffering from whatever the opposite of FOMO is. As a senior, who lives off investments without any employer pension, my target return is any combination of growth and income at 6% -10% or better. While I am prepared for reasonable risk I can't afford to lose the TFSA headroom for a 3-5 years while a stock recovers. I am looking for 8-10 positions and would appreciate suggestions.
