Investment Q&A

Q: Greetings 5i team: Could you please comment on the above stocks with respect to their current versus historical valuations? I guess I am trying to gauge the extent(if at all)their share price is being "propped up" by their yield. I think I know the sectors that are considered most vulnerable to interest rate increases, but do any companies jump to mind that could be more negatively affected than their peers, particularly if rates rose faster than the market anticipates or for the wrong reasons, i.e. inflation versus economic growth? Thank you and best wishes,

Q: I'm 78 and interested in income with security of capital and I'm wondering about changing the percentage allocation of various sectors. For example, rather than hold 5% in each of healthcare, materials and energy, I'm considering holding 15% in healthcare. NWH.un, SIA, DR and SIS are broadly diversified within the sector, provide an excellent average income and have been generally approved by 5i. What do you think, and feel free to make suggestions.

Thanks for all the steady, interesting and profitable suggestions daily.

Q: are these stocks okay to hold as dividend income with possible capital appreciation or which ones would you recommend selling and what would you replace them with?

Q: Northwest Healthcare Properties accounted their quarter a couple weeks ago. Can you review and see if anything is out of the ordinary? If I had to look at one metric to make comparisons quarter to quarter or year to year, how do I gauge if this REIT is executing well?

Q: In my income portfolio, I currently have these 3 REITS invested. I have some additional funds now to invest, which of the 3 do you think is currently the best to add to for long term investment?

Q: For the past 8 years I have been trying to pick up yield by buying convertible debentures. My objective for the past few years was to get a yield to maturity of at least 5% on these debentures. Today Superior Plus is redeeming one of their convertible debentures (SPF.DB.F). I would like to buy another convertible debenture from the cash that I will be receiving. I am considering NWH.DB.B or NWH.DB.C. Both of them have yields to maturity in excess of 5%. What do you think of these two convertible debentures as a fixed income investment? Note that I am not concerned with conversion privilege. This is a proxy for exposure to a fixed income vehicle. I am only concerned about the yield and the company's ability to pay the principal at maturity.

Thank you

Q: Could you please comment on $NWH recent earnings and would you recommend for a small purchase.

Q: NWH.UN has moved up about 10% the past several weeks after a long decline over 2 or 3 years. The stock is trading slightly below book value with a low P/E of 5.3. Do you think the stock has room to increase further?

Q: Hello again: I meant to include this property in the question I asked earlier this morning, but please feel free to charge me another credit. Northwest healthcare was unloved by most analysts for the last couple of years but they seem to have turned the corner in terms of investor sentiment since the stock price is up $2 on what was a $7.50 stock at its low. Is this kind of increase justified in your opinion and what is your view on its prospects going into the future. I notice that they hold the second highest percentage of their holdings in Brazil (although it is still a distant second to their Cdn. holdings) and could this be a concern given Brazil's current economic malaise? Thanks again, Don

Q: Not sure what I'm doing wrong in the new format. I asked for a search on northwest healthcare reit but got no responses under either format. I'm pretty sure that there have been questions about this reit before, although perhaps I'm mistaken. Any suggestions?
