Q: I am thinking of adding to SYZ after their recent credit facility announcement. Talking about having 80 million available for aquisitions (40 from the credit facility with good terms). This seemed to be a past knock on the company (not as much top line growth and not putting cash to work). What do you think? Thanks
Q: Hi 5i, how significant is the court ruling regarding the tax benefits for Hydro One?
Do you see a continued bump upward on the stock price and will these benefits likely lead to increased dividends.
Thanks
Rob
Q: I had Colliers then got FirstService as a result of a split . I have 0.85% in CIGI and 1.26% in FSV. Should I continue to hold both or sell Collier then add to FirstService. Both are held in a non registered account. . ..thanks
Q: My understanding is that higher interest rates would help ECN (please correct me if I'm wrong). If so, I'm trying to understand why it has rebounded as much as it has since March. Can you comment?
Q: Apologize for the newbie question. When I look at Suncor's price chart, in my head something is telling me that it will double in one year? Why is not everyone buying it right now? It looks like a steal price and I'm even thinking about putting half of all my money into it. Please stop me if it's a crazy idea. Or if you have better stocks to recommend it would be wonderful. Currently I have 15% AC, 9% BAM.A, 7% KXS, 3% LSPD, 3% WELL. Thank you!
Q: What is your thoughts on Cameco . With increased Hydro Usage likely coming ( EV ) etc.. is it not a better base load option than natural gas ?
Where does it fall on ESG or green investors radar ?
Q: Based on BIP.UN and BIPC performance i'm thinking of switching from BEP.UN to BEPC on the first day of trading. I think July 24th is the ex-date and that BEPC trades on a when issued basis starting the same date. Please confirm. I know there are tax pros and cons but as an investment can you comment on the short term and long term of doing this switch.
Q: I notice that you both hold VZ and are generally positive about it, and conversely are generally negative in regard to AT&T.
I hold neither of these stocks at this time, but have been thinking about getting back into one of them.
Interestingly, Standard and Poore's rates VZ a sell and T a buy.
Beyond "that's what makes a market", any comments in defense of your position. Thanks.
I previously asked about DND and what a reasonable amount would be to pay over an IPO price of $7.50 (you said 25%). It's up quite a lot today $13.50-14 and I would like to ask whether 5i would view it as a buy, sell or hold at that price point? If it were in your growth portfolio would you take profit or let it roll? My take would be that KXS, DSG, SHOP etc would have all been terrible things to sell just because of a Day 1 pop after IPO which argues in favour of holding DND as well.
Q: Good morning,
Not a question, but a note to offer another possible reason as to the recent “lift” in preferred share prices, especially in the banks sponsored shares. A new capital note structure proposed by RBC (Limited Recourse Capital Notes – LCRN’s) has been accepted by the OSC as qualifying as Additional Tier 1 capital. In short, the view is that these notes, primarily issued to institutions, will limit future issuances in the traditional retail preferred share market, while also potentially funding the redemption of existing shares, resulting in better market tone.
Q: Hi Guys
I just use these 2 ETFS to cover the World it keeps it simple, I was told Canada only represents 3% of the World so that is the weighting i use, would you find that an acceptable weighting. Also. VXC has Japan at 8% and China at 4.5% would this be acceptable or would you add another ETF to compliment the 2 listed above, to get a higher exposure to China and other countries, and if so at what percentage weighting.
Thanks Gord
Q: Basically this is a follow-up to a healthcare question asked by Sean July 6. My only healthcare position is the steady eddie medical devices ETF IHI. I would like to diversity in this sector using another ETF or two that has similar potential returns to IHI. Candidates are:
ARKG Genomic Revolution
BTEC Healthcare Innovators
PTH Healthcare Momentum
Are any of these worth considering? Or is it best to purchase a few individual stocks? Pros and cons please. Thanks - James.
Q: Regarding the recent issue of shares and debentures, which closed July 16 - what does this do for the balance sheet… or for any other aspects of PBH you feel is relevant?
Thanks!
From the press release:
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement to reduce existing indebtedness under one of its revolving credit facilities (the "Credit Facility"), thereby increasing the amount available to be drawn under such Credit Facility, as required, to fund future potential strategic acquisitions and capital projects that may arise.
