Investment Q&A

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

Q: I own shares of KXS. It’s been a bit of a wild ride. Today the stock is around $68, a price it last reached about 12 months ago. With this reset on the price the mkt seems to be saying its future potential as an investment is equal to or worse than it was a year ago; that despite a year of operations, the company is not stronger today than it was a year ago. While I would be hesitant to buy more until the share price decline stops, the risk/reward for KXS for a longer term investment is becoming more compelling. Your views?

Q: Peter & Ryan, I have been a 5i member for over a year now and do not own all of your stocks but do own the ones mentioned above. I am down thousands of dollars based on your recommendations and expertise. Please help me understand what service am I paying for? I understand the market goes up and down but there is many of your recommendations that are getting wiped out. What is 5i's due diligence process for picking companies?
Appreciate your feedback

Q: In your reply to Kimberley regarding MKP, you stated that you'd find it hard to get interested (given all the issues), but that's assuming you don't already own it. However, for those of us who do, would you suggest hanging on to it? Or would you swap it out for something like EIT.un if one wants to maintain the same level of non-dividend income?

Q: Hi,

Self storage companies in the US and companies in Canada such as SVI appear to trade at very high multiples (i.e. P/FFO and P/AFFO). Why is this? I've wanted to invest for some time but am uncomfortable about the valuation . Is there something I'm missing about the self storage space that warrants these apparent premiums?

Thanks for your response.

Q: I'm wondering if you would know what percentage of Vermillion's revenue now comes from its non-Canadian assets. I'm thinking of harvesting some losses on Cdn. energy stocks I hold and putting the proceeds into Vermillion shares as a way of staying in the sector in case of a recovery. Your thoughts please.

Q: Looking for 2 or 3 income generators for my grandsons education. They are still 9 to 10 years away from going to college so something that I can put away and check on a few times per year would be ideal.
