Would you be a buyer of this stock in the current environment with a possible 2 year hold. (How does the above affect a current shareholder? Thank you.
Q: I held this for a while last fall and finally ran out of patience. It's down around it's 52 week low and is trading at $ 13.00. What are your thoughts overall. Is the company stable ? Does the share price have further to fall ?

Q: HI Peter and team - I hold some Concordia in a US account and am interested in adding Concordia to my Canadian account. However it has a P/E ratio of about 190. Of how much concern should this be. What would it take to bring this P/E down to a more reasonable level and is Concordia on track for this. Thanks.
I rarely ask questions. I find the answers usually in the Q&A database. I have a credit of 93 questions. (Hmmm, wonder if there is an aftermarked for 5i Questions, ha ha ha).
Seriously, I would like your opinion on Dividend Select 15 Corp. I understand it is a holder of quality Canadian dividend producers and can increase the amount of its distrubuted dividend by writing covered calls against the underlying holdings. I would like to hold this in my TSFA, with a DRIP strategy. I would be looking for at minimum a 5 year hold after which I would exit the DRIP and use the income to supplimnent my retirement income.
You have the best service out there.
Jim,
PS. It would be cool if the 5i person who actually answers the Q&A's indicates their intials (P=Peter, R=Ryan, T=Team) etc.)
Q: Hello 5i team,
In my previous question, I asked for names of Canadian ETFs or Mutual Funds that invest in US New Techs; I specified "Canadian" because I did not want to pay a 40%+ currency premium. You gave me FDN (a US ETF) instead.
I look forward to your response
Antoine
Q: FTS is down 10% as I write. Do you regard the drop in price because of the acquisition as a good entry point or should I avoid because of the size of the deal? Thank you
Q: Hello Peter and Team.
I exited this position @225.00 high is $231.00 and have been following this down daily and have considered pulling the trigger a couple of times but held back.
Today I noticed it seems to perhaps turned the corner for maybe a fresh leg up. Currently up $3.31.
Could I please have your thoughts going forward, in your opinion has a bottom been put in on this stock.
Q: I am looking to deploy cash in my TFSA (2016 contribution) and with so many beaten up stocks I am wondering what to buy. I was considering the healthcare section and adding to my existing position in GUD, or perhaps initiate a position in CRH. GUD is now below its financing of $6.75 done around Dec 2014. What are your comments on GUD? Add now or wait for a better market? Or do you prefer CRH or something else in the healthcare sector. Longer term hold, and for a TFSA.
In healthcare I own CXR and GUD, smaller positions in DR and PHM, and very small positions in SIS and PM.
Q: Hello Peter & Co,
Do you know of any Canadian ETF or Mutual fund that invests in US New Tech companies, such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc?
Thanks
Antoine
