Investment Q&A

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

Q: Feel free to disregard is this question is outside the scope of what 5i offers.

My question surrounds investing in real estate. Many investors have heard that even if we buy into the stock market at its peak and there is a crash, we will still be up in the long term. Does the same apply to real estate? That is, should an investor attempt to time the real estate market? We live in Alberta and not sure when the best time it is to upgrade our home. I'm also curious if real estate should be viewed as a portion of one's portfolio.

Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter and Team - I am thinking of taking a position in Kinaxis. However when I checked the Insider Trading using INK in my TD Waterhouse account it shows net selling of $40,640,658. This seems to be very high plus the Insider ownership seems to be quite low overall. Is this accurate and generally speaking how much can I rely on these insider reports from INK.
Also I understand that Kinaxis is involved in cloud based subscription software but I just couldn't understand much of the rest of the description in my TD Waterhouse site. Would you be able to summarize their business in terms that a relatively non-technical person can understand. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i team, I am looking more closely at ENB financials. It looks like they have negative EPS and FCF but then they have comprehensive income of 2030 mil added to their Income statement. Can you explain what this is and if it should be added to EPS. Also would you still say ENB is your favorite or is there another pipeline that you are liking better today. Thank you for your guidance.

Thanks for your good work. I am always impressed by the quality of your answers.

Q: On your recommendation I purchased about 2.5% of SIS & it has gone up about 20%. Would you feel an increase of 2.5% more shares would be too much considering their recent financial report?I can use the diversification since I have a lot of oil pipelines.Thanks for the advice as always since you've saved me from myself on many occasions.
