Q: Hello,
I've been looking for a good Canadian utility stock that has limited exposure to Canadian O&G pipeline exposure (ie. Not TransCanada or Enbridge) and for one that has a great track record of raising its dividend, has some growth and hopefully trading at a reasonable P/E. Algonquin, Emera, and Fortis came to mind. How would you rank these three on those metrics? Also the app I use shows Algonquin as having a very high trailing P/E (35) as compared to the other two showing in the high teens. Is that wrong?

Also would you wait for a bit of a pull back for some of these names and what are there expected forward P/E's.

Thanks a lot!

Q: Hi 5i staff,
I am contemplating in shorting Directcash as the fundamentals suggest that the stock is due for a correction.
The yield is about 12% and appears to be unsustainable to support the current price.
What are your thoughts and recommendations of such a trade?

Your feedback is kindly appreciated.

Q: From a technical standpoint as per IE,if SYZ breaks out from $9($9.35 high today & also 52 week high),the next resistance is $11.Note your recent positive comments( including its repurchase of 1.4 shares @ av.cost of $6.94 since 7/15 & suggestion that it can be a multi-bagger when probed by National Post in early march-was $8.34 on 3/4 ).Is this a good point to add to my small holdings?Thanks for your usual great services & views.

Q: I noticed Sylogist has a strange looking chart where there is a distinct upward trend from early October. You can almost draw a support line from the lows of about $6. It also hit a new 52 week high today. I'm not sure if this is significant from a technical analysis point of view, or if your team even thinks technicals are worth looking at. Any comments?

Q: Torstar (ts.b) was recommended by a BNN guest at around $6.00 and again this week at around $1.50 and my screen shows a 16% dividend. Is that actually the dividend and do you see growth for this company as they transition from advertising to digital? I look at newspapers as a very tough business to stay competitive but if this one survives, it could be a great investment. Would you buy it and do you think the dividend will be cut (dramatically)?
Thanks.

Q: 5i mentioned that DSG could be a takeover candidate. What kind of premium could DSG fetch and I know it got tossed from the model portfolio but is it still a good hold for tech ?

Q: I bought this quite recently as its valuation seemed decent and the stock seemed to be firmly in recovery mode. Do your resources indicated why it dropped 14% today? This is not a small cap stock...
