Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Clarification please: 5i's response to Edgar's question on how split corporations work was, "If a certain net asset value is not maintained, common dividends will cease to protect the preferred shares." The sentence sounds as though the preferred shares will stop being protected. Is it more accurate to say, "If a certain net asset value is not maintained, common dividends will cease IN ORDER to protect the preferred shares"? Sorry about the caps but wanted indicate the difference between the two statements. Thank you.

Q: Could you give me your assessment on ETI (Enviroleach Tech) and JBL (Jabil Inc). I just watched a segment on BNN Commodities today and found the discussion on E-waste enviromental processing very interesting. JBL is currently building a new processing plant for ETI in Memphis. And E-waste is becoming a major problem for the world.

Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i
Thanks for the ongoing commentary on company.

Would you please comment on what you believe to be the drag on the stock price?

It has been written about downgrade, share overhang thru year end and investors moving out of income names.

I am in this for income but not interested in going to zero while I collect monthly payments. Also supporting my buy decision was the expectation for company to follow through with one more dividend increase in 2017, and the fact they have cash building up due to 60% payout ratio. On the latter, management commented they would decide on cash use in Q1 2018. Do these aspects ring true in your review of the situations?


THANKS
Dave

Q: Hello,
I would like your opinion on this. Do you feel it is important to try and keep a certain number of stocks in your portfolio, based on the size of it of course. If you do, could you advise what "approximate number" you would have for each of following sizes of portfolios to give me a sense of how you would handle this:
-$100,000 portfolio
-$500,000 portfolio
-$1,000,000. portfolio
-$1,500,000. portfolio

Thank you
Margaret

Q: Currently I own the shares of RUF.UN, recently its share price fell due to the Hurricane Harvey which hit Texas, where most of the RUF.UN's real estate properties are. Since this is a one time catastrophic event do you recommend that I increase my position in this company. I see this company as a good bond proxy (dividend yield is approx 6.00%) with little volatility. The purpose of my investment is "income" and moderate price appreciation. Do you agree with my reasoning or do you suggest another company?
