Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i Team;
I having been following Pender Funds and am wondering what you think of them? I was thinking of their Pender Value Fund class F for some long term growth in my TFSA, as well as their Pender Corporate Fund Class F, for some stability in the same account or my partners TFSA. I’m interested to hear your thoughts in general on these funds, if the mer is worth it, and if they would be appropriate for a TFSA? Would corporate bonds be an okay investment right now?Thanks so much!

Q: What prices would be support level for Lspd to get back in? Thanks as always.

Q: I believe quality of management is a key component of your stock evaluation. In this context I wonder how you would score TXN as it seems to have had a lengthy history of success.

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5I
Concerning Plantronics share price drop today. Combined with there recent earnings and forecast, at its current price, would this be a company you think is investable? In your opinion do latest earnings merit 40% drop in price or is it a bit extreme.
Thx

Q: Would you consider this good time to add to Fedex as a long term hold?

Q: Hi there,

I need to add to my consumer discretionary and am comparing these two. Given that PII is currently trading at a better valuation and has better product diversification, which you choose it today over BRP (DOO)

Q: What do you think of TGRE? It seems like a remarkably steady performer.

Q: Lots of activity, have you become more bullish,, certainly seems positive. Would you double down yet? Appreciate your comments.

Q: Does Intact Financial Corp's dividend qualify for the Canadian div. tax credit ?

Q: Hi Peter / Ryan, do you know what reasons companies use to determine stock splits. I've heard the price of the share is to high so to allow more people access to it they split the shares. Now a lot of shares are over 500 dollars but they don't split, which shoots that reason out and some split more often than others, for example ATD.B gets to about 90 and they split, its happened twice since I've owned them. Banks used to split more often now they don't. Last time RY split it was around 90 now it's over 100 and still no split. Thanks, Nick

Q: Hi, what are the earnings expectations for BIP.UN?

Q: What do you think is holding back this company from being another high-flying Canadian tech stock?

Q: I am following up on a question asked by Gary on December 6, 2019.

I am also looking to find an international dividend growing ETF similar to VIGI. I am not looking for high dividends per se. I do not like many of the international dividend ETFs due to their often high exposure to financials (IGRO would fit in this category).

IQD looks promising, and its methodology appeals to me. I would appreciate your advice about the pros and cons of this fund, and why you gave it only a very tepid recommendation.

What are your top dividend growing ETFs, regardless of whether they are Canadian or US ETFs. Per your previous answers, I understand your top two choices are VIGI and IGRO. Do you have any others?

Thank you again for your insightful advice.
