Investment Q&A

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

Q: PRL came in with strong earnings a few days ago. Whereas GSY has been on a steady downturn lately and is down 8.5% today alone. I would have thought they would trade somewhat in sympathy with each other being in the same industry ..... I'm down about 20 % on GSY right now and considering abandoning it for greener pastures ..... If it were to at least level out I would be inclined to stay the course but it isn't ..... Need 5i advice on first what is going on ? And second why it is going on ? Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: Hello,

How do I track the purchase buy backs of a company? More specifically, I'm curious to know how GSY and Enterprise Group (E.TO) are faring in their buy back programs.

You sometimes send out a link to websites but I can't find the post so I apologise if this is a repeat question.

Thanks.

Q: I'm holding PRL with a fairly big loss and I'm wondering how you would approach this situation. I'm fine to hold unless it makes sense to sell for the tax loss and buy GSY. If yes would you return to PRL after 30 days for long term? I assume they will move in a similar way.

thx, Mark

Q: Perhaps am looking for unicorns. I have some money to deploy and I am looking for companies that have the balance sheet to ride out the current situation whether it lasts another two months or >12 months. My basic criteria were those potentially undervalued, dividend over 3%, div growth of at least 5% and a decent payout ratio. Any suggestions appreciated, thanks for your help.

Q: I'm considering taking a position in the sub-prime Canadian lenders. Between Propel and Goeasy, which one would you choose to maximize total returns given the current market price? Is there an advantage in holding both with a (50/50) position? Planned holding period is 3 to 5 years.

Thanks for the great service.

André

Q: What happens to the earnings of Propel if the US economy goes into recession? I’m confused because I have heard recessions cause more people to use their type of lending. Yet you would think defaults would rise significantly. What would the net effect be?

Q: I am opening a TFSA and would like to transfer some of my holdings to that account, which I know I have in my RRSP (sell and re-purchase). My thinking is holding the items which offer more growth potential. Is this a good argument in deciding where to hold various holdings? From the following names, which would you think make more sense to hold in my TFSA than in my RRSP?
AEM, ATZ, BN, DSG, GSY, LMN, SHOP, TRP, TRI, WSP, TOI
