Q: Hello 5i Team
I own Government of Canada Real Return Bonds as follows:
All dollar figures are shown as per $100 face value
Dec 01, 2021
Cost basis - $178.9998
Market Value - $179.0590
Dec 01, 2026
Cost basis - $179.4574
Market Value - $200.2690
Dec 01, 2031
Cost basis - $185.6486
Market Value - $213.501
Dec 01, 2036
Cost basis - $145.3914
Market Value - $185.9052

My first question is the series 2021 market value has been declining the last couple of months. As the maturity date approaches does the market value go to $100.000 from the current $179.059 or is the decline in market price the result of the flattening yield curve (i.e. short term rates approaching current long term rate for the bond).

My second question, should I continue to hold these Real Return Bonds as part of my fixed income portfolio. They represent about 8 % of my fixed income portfolio. I have been quite happy with them since I purchased them.

Thanks for the excellent service.

Q: Tegna has been recommended to me and, given that it is a company that I know very little about, I was wondering if you could give me your thoughts on it and whether you think it would be good for up to a half position in a portfolio for a 3 to 5 year hold.

Thanks.

Q: 4:17 PM 5/8/2019
Your 5i profile on NPI shows Debt/Equity of 9.22 and Morningstar gives a comparable figure of D/E of 8.96. These figures are a world ahead over, for example, Enbridge [1.05 and 0.93 respectfully], and PPL [0.63 and 0.53], and RY [0.12 and 0.49] and CSH.UN [2.31 and 2.32].

These figures suggest that NPI has staggering debt. Can you resolve this issue.

I do not want to invest in companies overburdened with unmanageable debt yet you still recommend NPI over AQN [answer to Morgan may 8th] which has D/E of "only" 1.11 and 1.05 from 5i and Morningstar respectively.
Thank you............. Paul K

Q: Team,
What do you think about Bombardier? Is it a good stock to buy for a trade.?
I know they have about 9.5B in debt and lots of it is coming due in 2020. But given that they have the support of the government and the Quebec pension fund already invested 2.5B, it seems to be okay for a trade.!
Thank You

Q: Any comments on TOY results. Just wondering why the EBITDA margins were so low and amortization/depreciation so high and if these are expected to continue or more of a one-time.

Q: I was watching James Hodgins on Market Call last week and he mentioned that he is "restricted on the name and cant talk about it too much". What can be possible reasons for this? Thank you.

Q: ENW has been doing well, but ENW.WT has been doing much better. Two questions: what rights does a warrant give the owner? And why is the warrant doing so much better than the common stock? Thank you.

Walter
