Investment Q&A

Q: I've decided to begin building an income portfolio and have chosen the companies listed above. (Mostly from your Income Portfolio). I am retired but my pension income covers my monthly expenses. I'm looking for companies that you believe are strong enough to maintain, and hopefully increase), dividends in the long run. I understand we are in a climate of interest rate increases and income stocks could suffer as a result so I'm wondering if I should wait to begin building this portfolio. My intention is to round out the portfolio by adding companies from your balanced portfolio. My questions are:
1. Can you suggest a strategy that you consider to be wiser as I begin to develop my new portfolio?
2. Do you consider the companies I have chosen to be the best choices for a new portfolio considering all current investment metrics? Could you suggest any I have missed?
Thank-you for your continued support.

Q: What's wrong with GS? Metrics look good and the dispute with former owners has been resolved, yet stock does nothing but decline for the past 3 yrs.

Q: Insider buying of note ?

Q: Fsz or GS and why? Which is the safest for a long term hold for income?

Q: Morning..just looking to rebalance...my financial weighting is 22% of portfolio (BNS 4.6, SLF 4.4, Tricon 3.8, G&S 3.4, TD 3.2 and ECN 2.2%)...was thinking of selling Tricon and ECN ...I am down on both also G&S..but like the dividend for G&S...any thoughts...

thanks

Q: In view of the BNS deal with Jarislowsky Fraser, do you consider the valuation of GS adequate?

Q: Hi, I know you like GS for income and stock is cheap based on valuation.
What in your view is the risk level for the stock.
What is their full year revenue estimate for year ending June 2018
They recently had a departure of a main partner, do we know estimated revenue impact of that.
Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi 5i,

What is your take on Gluskin Sheff's earnings?

With the stock down over 5% today, do you view this as a more attractive buying opportunity, or would you wait till the markets stabilize?

Thanks

Q: Good Morning
It was reported this morning that the results of GS met expectations. Why the over 4 per cent drop?

Is it still a hold?
Thanks

Q: hi
Joe asked about your top ten juicy dividend payers. Some are barely in the 3% zone.
Are you preferring these because of safety? Growth?
Are the higher yields from the names I listed at risk of cuts? There are quite a few out there yielding 5% +
Thoughts on these higher yield names?
Thank you!!

Q: What's your favourite Canadian value stock that yields at least 4% ? Thanks

Q: What would be your preferred pick for new buying today between Fiera Capital and Gluskin Sheff for a long term hold?

Q: Good Afternoon 5i,

Excluding the big banks and MFC, SLF, what are your top 3 picks for Canadian financials?

Thanks!

Q: I am retired living on dividend income. Over the past 4 months I have bought 1/2 positions in the following stocks because they are in the 5i portfolios, and they are down (some substantially). My question is should I add/hold/sell the following stocks:
CGX -20%!
GS-6%
KWH.UN -6%

Q: Just a comment on reason for GS share price down today.
GS had a news release yesterday. Net Outflows accelerated in Q2/F18 to their highest level in over five years, thus validating our concerns surrounding the recent departure of key portfolio manager Ms. Jeannine LiChong (responsible for managing ~22% of GS' AUM at Q1/F18) which was announced early in the quarter (Oct. 10th).
Publish as you wish.
Thanks
Victor

Q: DOES THIS 4% DROP TODAY LOOK LIKE AN OVER REACTION TO THE INTEREST RATE HIKE OR IS SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON. I AM DOWN A LITTLE AND WOULD LIKE TO ADD MORE Thx James

Q: I am looking to add either CGX or GS to my holdings primarily for income. Aside from the dividend payments, which of these two would you prefer with capital preservation in mind? (i.e. which one has the lesser likelihood of a steep decline below its current price, and would hold up better in a general market decline)

Q: Hi 5i.
Great job on the new website!

My question is whats waking up SRU.UN today?
Should I keep holding for income or should I sell?
Could you also suggest 3 best buys from your income portfolio at this time?

I look forward to your answer.

Q: Hello Peter,
I hold a balanced total portfolio across my TFSA, RRSP and non-registered accounts. I keep my highest dividend payers in my non-registered and currently have them on DRIPs. Are there any of theese that you don't think should be on DRIP because they are too risky?

ALA, KWH.UN, FTS, BNS, SLF, GS, NWH.UN, ECI, EIF, BCE

Q: Greetings. CBL, MKP, FC all pay a great dividend, but have lost Cap value over the past year or so. Forward trending does not indicate much value appreciation. Should I be concerned with this sector of altrenative lenders to the major banks. Sell or hold ? Other options to consider. ie some growth expectation and a reasonable div or say +4%
Thanks
