Investment Q&A

Q: Hello 5i Team

Could you please provide an update on the mortgage investment corporation.
Are they a reasonable source of higher yield interest income?
The four MIC and First National have suffered the declines similar to the market.
These investments would be held in my RRSP for long term interest income and not for capital gains. These would be a small portion of my high yield fixed income portfolio which includes corporate bonds and convertible debentures.
How did MIC fare in the low interest rate environment after the 2008 crash / recession as most stock charts only go back 10 years.
Thanks for the excellent advice in the last four weeks with all the market changes.

Q: Looks like a good entry price here, do you feel the dividend is secure.

Q: Do you think the very high yield of First Financial is simply a case of being dragged down with everything else or is there anything else I should be aware of.

Thank you

Paul

Q: FN is down over 5% on a secondary offering. Can I get your take on this, and also on what you think of First National as an investment now? Is there a similar company you feel would make a better investment?

Q: Hi. May I please have your comment of FN’s earnings. Cheers

Q: Will you vibe me a list of 4 mortgage funds and their annual dividend. Thx

Q: Why did FN plunge today? Already own - is it a buying dip?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,

Portfolio Analytics is telling me to lighten up slightly in CDN exposure and add to International.

I hold First National (up 25%) and Corus (down God knows how much but bouncing back recently). Both in my TFSA. These were literally the first two individual stocks I ever purchased.

Just based on the fact this is a TFSA and my time horizon is decades, the answer is probably a no-brainer but I've got to ask your opinion anyways - should I dump these and roll the $ into an Intl ETF?

I've got lots of exposure (XAW) to developed markets but much less so to emerging. I am considering both VEE and XEC. Thoughts on either, or a better option?

Please deduct credits as appropriate for the multi-part question.

Thanks!

Ryan

Q: Hello
May I have your comments on earnings please

Q: Hi – what is your general view of the MIC’s now, for TFSA or RSP.? Which MIC do you prefer if any? Can you please rank the three listed and indicate if there’s a different one that you prefer. Thanks.

Q: Good Day How do you rate First National for a dividend payer as compared to the big 5 Canadian banks? Can we expect some growth in the stock price over the next 3 years? If so how much? Thanks

Q: Hello
May I have your views on FN. I have owned it for some time and I am worried that increases in interest rates may cause a decline in the share price
Cheers

Q: Your opinion on FN for income, long hold as opposed to Fierra. Thanks

Q: Good morning,
Just a noticed a sudden one day drop in the price of TF. Can you please provide me your opinion on this MIC and are any other MICs that you would prefer in lieu of TF for income in a TFS or RRSP account. Thank you.

Q: May I have your comments on the recent results for FTS and FN. Thank you

Q: May I please have your comments on First National’s recent earnings. Thank you.

Q: Thinking of selling pza and buying fn what do you think of this for income and some growth.

Q: do you think either of these is a buy now?

Q: Do you recommend this stock for investment?
At what price would this be a good buy?
Is the monthly dividend sustainable?

Q: Hello Peter, I am wondering what you think of First National (FN) and MCAN Mortgage Corp (MKP) for income. Would you hold both or do you prefer one over the other? Thanks for your advice.
