Q: Good afternoon Peter, Ryan and others in 5i
Right now my wife's TFSA is down 20%, trailing 12 months return. In her account, she has BCE 11.19%, ENGH 26.04%, NFI 15.53%, SIS 9.41%, TOY 32.49% and MU 4.71%. TOY is down over 9%. And ENGH, NFI and SIS have all dropped from 33% to 81% from their highs. But she bought these three stocks early. As a result, unlike TOY, they are still in positive positions (unrealized gains). She thinks that in TFSA there should not be any stocks going down so much for quite some time. She is thinking of selling or trimming some of them. What is your option on these stocks? Which stocks should she trim or sell? We are seniors at age of 67 and 69, and we don't need to take money out of TFSA for a long time. Could you recommend a few U.S. and Canadian solid growth stocks for her TFSA? We do need to have some consumer discretionary stocks. Could you also suggest Canadian and U.S. stocks in this sector? Maybe three each?
Thank you very much for your excellent advice all eight years since we jointed 5i.

Q: Good morning 5i Team

This is a general question about secondary share offerings like the one issued by Savaria recently. In coming up with the offering price, is it typically based on a fundamental analysis of the corporations value or is it just a negotiated discount to the current market price?

Thanks as always.
Peter

Read Answer Asked by kenneth on April 10, 2019
Q: Hi, What will be the new no. of outstanding shares for Savaria, with 5 mln new shares issued and the insider ownership ( Mr Bouroussa and family, with addition of 71,000 committed from new issue) ? Based on 2019 guidance, and taking into account this dilution, what will be the pay out ratio ? Is this dividend 3.5 cents/month sustainable, in your view ? While no one likes a secondary at $14.15 after an issue at $16.60, a year ago, on a positive note, company could pay down a large portion of $101 mln debt, thus strengthening the balance sheet. Is there a silver lining and stock is worth adding at current level for 3% dividend yield and growth ? Also, is there a lock-in period of 4 months for the new shares from April 22, the expected closing date of secondary? Could it place more pressure on the stock, down the road ? Thank You
