Investment Q&A

Q: Good morning,

I didn't have an opportunity to buy RAY.A after the recent feature by Peter on BNN. It seems to be down a touch (why?) and I wanted to know if you still like it? It would appear to be a nice opportunity if your opinion has not changed. Also, do you think a pull back to what appears to be possible support at $8.00 is likely?

Thanks

Q: The new board appears to be great & much better than the previous one. There is still a fear of increase rate environment.Is it time to start a position after recent slide.Thanks for u usual great services & views

Q: Given that TOY has been drifting down from the $58 level at beginning of July and is now approaching the $50 level which looked like some resistance in June; do the technicals show any indication of being oversold or are there any buy indicators showing. Is this a good price to be adding at considering that a toy season is coming.

Q: Hello 5i team:

Your opinion on their results released yesterday please.

Thank you

Q: Instead of purchasing a piece of real estate, am thinking of REITs . Could you recommend a few for a 5+ years hold, both Canadian & US. Thank you. Fooklin

Q: I hold alt.a, less then 1% of portfolio and underwater. I bought because no debt and sector out of favour but so far has worked against me. Should I just give up or average down expecting in the next year to turn around. I assume with no debt it can last out the down cycle.

Q: Hi FR is down 10% after earnings. They did reduce their forward forecast. Do you see the price action after Q report justified and does it change your opinion going forward on the stock. I'd like to maintain a holding in a silver producer going into the fall as I think they will be strong but wondering if I should switch out of FR. (I also hold SSRM already). Thanks!

Q: I am trying to straighten out my portfolio. I have been buying over the past 2 years based on solid companies that offer a good dividend and dividend growth for my retirement (with the exception of mining and gold stocks, which I hold for fear of inflation). I am not sure of when I will retire, but some time in the next 5-10 years. I am fine forgoing growth for security. I do not wish to change my holdings when I retire.

Could you please review my holdings? I have listed them by sector (including the lopsided distribution figures), then in descending order of current market value. Do you have suggestion for those I should sell, or others I should buy to have a solid portfolio of buy and forget dividend income stocks for retirement? Suggestions of sector weights would be great as well.

I know I am asking a lot, so please deduct question points as you see fit.

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan,
I recently sold MG from my daughters TFSA and would like to either add to 1 or 2 of her portfolio underweight holdings (DOL, SIS, TCL.A, PKI) (all held in her TFSA) and/or buy PBH in her TFSA which is also in her investment acct at a portfolio weight of 3%.
My inclination is to add to DOL and buy PBH. Plan is long term hold. Any thoughts? Disregard sector percentages.
Many thanks.

Q: Concerning Mike's question, earlier today, on Great Canadian Gaming. You indicated the expected eps for Q2 is 67 cents. I have Thompson Reuters showing consensus expected eps of 72 cents. Is that a slight oversight or is your source showing a consensus of 67 cents? Thanks.

What are your thoughts on GC's numbers? Does this report give more ammo to the longs or to the shorts? Are there any red flags? What is GC's debt profile and their capacity to handle that debt.

Thanks again.

John
