Q: Hello 5i Team,
On a question re: CLC you stated:
"CML is still paying one dividend. However it went ex-dividend yesterday, but anyone buying yesterday will get a $0.135 dividend."

My understanding of Ex-Dividend is different and found this online:

The ex-dividend date is the date on which investors are cut off from receiving a dividend. If, for example, an investor purchases a stock on the ex-dividend date, that investor will not receive the dividend. This date is two business days before the holder-of-record date.

Perhaps you can clarify?
Thanks,
Ron

Q: Hi 5i. I have a very basic investing question: If I sell everything now, when should I buy everything back?

Q: CLC was sold at $10.75 a share. It is currently trading at less than that. If I simple hold on to my shares until the deal finalizes in September, will I receive the full $10.75 per share automatically?

Q: It looks like Paladin Energy is getting hit because of their delay in announcing their strategic initiative, which I assume was meant to help their balance sheet. Any thoughts? Could this company conceivably go bankrupt before the improvement in uranium prices?

Q: Hello team,

My question is regarding the acquisition of CLC and how could one ever benefit from this jump after the fact. As you know CLC closed at $7.20 on June 24 and opened at $10.60 on June 25, a whopping 47% increase.

I want to know how some retail investor like me could know about this takeover in advance? And even if I knew about this deal the night before the jump how I could have purchased it when it is already up by 47% at the open?

I also want to know how stocks can open so high before the trading day even start? And finally is there any point in buy CLC at this point?

As you can see I am a novice investor so please keep up the superb job. Thank you!

Q: A BNN guest suggested selling resource and materials stocks which are down 15-20 % ytd now before tax loss selling begins in the Fall which is sure to drive them down much further. The idea being that they can be bought much cheaper later in the year.

That sounds pretty drastic. Would you agree, disagree or have a different perspective?

Thanks.

Q: I was wondering why you do not include the P/E multiple in your model portfolio summary. As a value investor, I have always found P/E to be a useful filter.

Q: Hi, Peter.
If this question is beyond your scope of research, please ignore it. I am looking to buy a US large cap that has a dividend and a higher level of safety. I am considering Chevron (CVX). What is your opinion of this company? Would you recommend an alterative from any sector other than materials.
Thanks,
Ed

Q: Hello, I would like your opinion on a macro economic situation. The "govt" keeps expounding the line that there is virtually no inflation and the central bankers (fed etc) can keep printing more money because of this. However, in your answer about G you mentioned that the cost of production keeps going up for the miners. All of us "commoners" know that everything that we have to buy is going up in price or being disguised with smaller packages etc...so my question is this: how do these two opposing situations of talk vs reality play out? As a small retail investor I am very concerned about where we are headed and what is going to happen to ones savings?
Thanks for your insights.
