Investment Q&A

Q: Morning boys:
What can I say , another great show from hodsen on market call . Looking forward to his sidekick soon. For a long term retail investor like myself, 5i is the go to service .
Thanks guys,
Mark

Q: Is there a particular reason for VET's jump today in the light of record low oils prices?
Thanks

Q: I have a long time to wait on investments and don’t have much interest in trading, as I prefer value investing.
1)I’m still up 30% on Nvidia, with a long term in mind. Do you think it’s better to sell out now and buy back later, or do you see enough growth and value coming to make it better to just sit on and wait?

2)I’m trying to build the core of my portfolio around long term holdings in strong dividend payers (with a bias towards aristocrats) and use all drips available, and even proxy drips through my broker when I need to. Could you give me your top 1-3 dividend payers for each Sector (with a bias towards dividend growth and safety/ aristocrats).
Also, I’ve read lots of articles that state that dividend investing on average out performs the market by a few% per year, just without most of the wild swings. Do you agree?
Hopefully my rambling makes sense...
Thanks

Q: This is not a question, just comment.
So nice to see Peter on BNN's show today. I subscribed to 5i for some time. I made some money but also lost on certain stocks. But that is expected in equity market. It is different from bonds or treasury bills that ensure you won't lose the principal. I listened to Peter's webinar on how to pick stocks and made notes. I read it again and again to remind myself not to make stupid mistakes again. For Peter and 5i staff's advice I want to express my gratitude. Other 5i members' valuable input and ideas are also highly appreciated.
In bad time, it is hard to be an optimistic investor, but it is a very important attitude to get through corrections or depression. We have seen the 'safe' bank stocks go down to an incredible level before and go up again. Understand one's own risk tolerance and 'do your homework' is a must. I also look at other resources though they have different views and sometimes confusing. There is also an element of luck when I sell a stock at a high price and then it drops a lot on the next day. Cheer up, things will change although we do not know when.

November or December ?
If I make tax loss transaction in my investment account and buy back the same stock in my TFSA account ( within allowable limit ) would I be penalized ?

Q: I would like your view on siyata as a speculative buy. What is their debt situation, is it manageable? Is their technology viable and saleable?

Q: Good Day,
With these companies taking huge hits lately isn’t this the time to be greedy when others are fearful? Do these companies deserve full positions with a long term outlook?
Thx

Q: Guest on bnn continually refer to rising interest rates good for banks and insurance CO’s. It’s a bit misleading because unless spreads increase it’s not going to happen . Could Peter Address this point when he is on bnn on Thursday. Thank you

Do I have the right to tell my (discount) broker not to lend my shares to short sellers? Alternatively can I ask the broker to share whatever he receives from such a loan?
Thanks in advance

Q: Please advise what analyst's expectations are for NVDA's quarterly release which will be issued after the bell today.

Thank you, Peter

Q: Why is wpm down today

Q: I , as an investor, agree with you that no company shall be judged by its single quarter performance unless it is extremely bad . SIS after an improved performance in the last quarter compared to last year ,has been beaten to ground . The stock price has slided back to its level in Jan2017. So , in nutshell, it appears that all aquisitions and imprved performance that SIS boasts in the last 2 years at all fronts including dividend increase have no relevance. It looks as if the market and values do not follow any logic/science. Do you still think it is worth holding this stock?

Q: I am down approx. 30% on this stock. Would you continue to hold or move on? Thanks Clare

Q: As a logistics company largely relying on international trade and the movement of goods, I'm surprised you did not comment specifically on the potential impact of US/China tarrifs on DSG (you did mention changes in global trade).

While obviously negative to DSG, are you able to quantify what the impacts of the tariffs might be?

Thx.

Q: Despite a significant recent increase in the price of natural gas, Birchcliff's stock price has not substantially rebounded from its recent low value. Any explanation? Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan

Looks like lots of stocks are at adjusted valuation now. I will appreciate if you can list couple dividend and bit growth sleep well stocks for RRSP account irrespective of industry.
