Investment Q&A

Q: Hello,
I have held FSZ for a few years now (small position of less around 1%). The share price has not moved basically since mid-2013. I am very happy with the dividend (another increase this quarter) and it appears to me they are a well managed company.

I know they operate in a sector that is not favorable but are there any catalysts on the horizon that might be a positive for the share price in the mid to long term or should one simply hold this for the income?

Would National Bank eventually buy this out (I know this is speculation but had to ask)?

And, what would be a good target % to hold in a well diversified income portfolio inside an RRSP for the average investor? I have full positions in BNS and SLF.

Thanks,
Dan

Q: Hello all.
Looks like GS has worked out ok for recent purchasers.
Given this:
"The Gluskin Sheff board of directors, after consultation with its financial and legal advisers, has unanimously approved the transaction and determined that it is in the best interests of Gluskin Sheff, and unanimously recommends that Gluskin Sheff shareholders vote in favour of the transaction." I would expect low likelihood of a competing offer- your thoughts?

Also wondering if you can recommend another pick, (in any industry), with similar qualities, especially a significant and solid dividend.
Thanks

Q: Can you comment on earnings?

Thanks

Q: Your comments on earnings ?

Q: In July 2018 you had a b+ rating, hoping for growth in AUM, and possible acquisitions, can you provide current scorecard on these points please? Opinion on sale of Mutual Fund business to Canoe and how that will effect previous points? Your report was accurate forecasting slow and steady and enjoy the dividend, suppose I'm bored and looking for a reason to not bail and look for more capital appreciation when markets are flying.

Q: Hi 5I.
What is your take on these stocks? Debt level and earnings? Next reporting? Growth potential?
Are they worth keeping?
I bought FSZ for income. Is income safe?
Many thanks,
Dick

Q: I bought Fiera some time ago and am at a loss, but, do appreciate the dividend being paid. I am a senior, very conservative investor and a "buy and hold" investor to a serious fault. Please advise if the dividend is sustainable. Should this be sold or can I buy more to bring my cost down? I know you are not a fan of averaging down. Please suggest other stocks that provide a good dividend and have a favourable outlook.
Thank you for your great service.

Q: A good article on Jonathan Goodman (GUD) in today's ROB magazine. Also, full page ad submitted by Fiera Capital Corp alleging increased investor interest in 'alternative investments'.

Q: Please recommend one of the financial companies to be added in my portfolio.

Q: Given the uncertainty in short term market direction,I have 50% of my TFSA in cash.I believe Canadian interest rates are not going to rise.I am considering the choices listed above, unless you can suggest others.I also have some cash in my US$ RRSP and am considering the Vanguard fund for this cash.US rates may climb further,but not much.Perhaps you could rate these according to risk.
Thank you.

Q: The markets have changed since the last report on Fiera Capital, what do you see for this company for the next 3 to 5 years?

Thank you,
Mike

Q: I'm 75 and sort of religiously line-up my rrsp based on your income model portfolio,granted i dont expect always 2017 performance and i'm ready to surf the wave but in few case a Tsunami hit few holdings at this point i wonder if GS and FSZ will ever recover or end up like KWH . Mandatory disbursement (wich you are not responsible)and losses could seriously jeopardize my capacity to keep the divi/income in line.
Thank You
Daniel

Q: Which company would be your preference as a buy and hold investment in an RRSP account? I'm more interested in capital growth over dividend growth.

Q: Hi 5i, Seasons Greetings. I generally am a buy and hold type but could use some tax losses against earlier gains this year. The above mentioned stocks could be sold and repurchased in early January. Would that be prudent? Is there anything I should not repurchase? Thanks, Ted

Q: Hi 5i,
I am considering small average down purchases of the listed companies but unfortunately cash is limited so can't choose all of them! Could you rate/order them for rebound potential ? Currently MX & TOY are approx 3% each, FSZ 2%,and TSGI/SLF/SIS have been driven lower to approx 1% each.

Thanks
Mike
