Investment Q&A

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

Q: Based on other responses you prefer OTEX over DSG when forced to choose. I understand one reason may be valuation, but please expand on your other reasons for that preference. For example, does OTEX have a better growth outlook. If one owned DSG currently but not OTEX would you sell DSG and buy OTEX. My preference is to own one or the other and trading commissions and taxes are not an issue. Thanks for your reply.

Q: Hello 5i,
I don't have much healthcare exposure right now but I'm thinking about getting back in. I noticed the resent many reasonably priced options in Canada - CRH and GUD seem like the go to names but each have massive P/E ratios.
As a result, I was thinking about buying a US retail pharma stock like CVS or just buying the XLV instead. I like CVS as it is kinda like "owning the race track instead of the the race car". Am I hitting the mark with this analogy or am I missing something? Some Bio tech names appear quite cheap due to pricing/political risk etc. But I also would never know which one to buy. Do you see any issues with the CVS in general? Would you recommend just buying the XLV instead? Thanks

Q: Hello team -

A recent BNN guest has a sell recommendation on Altagas, with the comment about the company having to borrow to pay the dividend (if I recall correctly).

I know that you seem to be comfortable with their ability to pay the dividend, and that the WGL acquisition will support future dividend growth. Will this support happen soon or a few years from now? I was also wondering if an increase in interest rates would affect their ability to pay the dividend.

Thanks.

Jim

Q: Last night's guest on Market Call Tonight said Savaria was a great company, and he met with them last month and likes them. But he said the stock was way overpriced. He said he would not buy and if he owned it he would sell it. He said if they continued to perform the stock is going to move sideways at best for the rest of the year. I take it you have a different opinion.
