Q: Genworth is down 25 percent in 6 weeks. This seems surprising for a company in its type of business. Do you think this reflects an expectation of mortgage defaults? Other explanations? Do you think it is a buy for a conservative long term investor? Thanks!
Q: I would like your opinion on Tesoro specifically, though more generally on the sector. My overall thesis is that these fuel refiners and marketers are being unfairly lumped into the oil sector in general and that overall there is little reason to think that they should suffer from lower oil prices. Do you agree or am I missing something? Thanks very much.
Q: Is the drop today just because of the market. Is this a good entry point. Also does dividend from CUD qualify for the dividend tax credit even though the fund buys US stocks ? Thank you.
Q: I recently asked about rmp and you seemed to like it as well as mentioning rock and raging river. I would like to know how you rate dtx in this mix. Thx for your time
Q: Hi Peter and 5i staff.
I've been browsing the website for awhile now and really like the service you provide, it's great for a novice investor like me. I've made most of the newbie mistakes in the past and as a result went completely conservative to GICs for a few years. Your service has given me the will to get back into buying Stocks and EFTs.
My first question is an easy one, but I think it's important for me to be clear on this:
Several times I've seen where you mention a company is good for growth, are you usually referring to a share price increase, or can this also mean dividend growth?
Q: Greetings
Petrofrontier has recently abandoned it's exploration for oil on it's land claims in Australia. The company has $10 million in cash, no debt and 80 million shares outstanding. So it has cash on hand of 12.5c per share and the stock trades near 4c per share. Considering the current low price of oil and that potential farm in partners are reducing spending in general how likely is it this company might just shut down and return that cash to shareholders? Or does that put the current management team out of a job and I am merely dreaming out loud here?
Thanks
Tim
Q: Could you advise what relationship there is between Brookfield and this company? I heard today on BNN that Brookfield is covering the high dividend yield of this company by purchasing stock in the company. If this is true, does this mean that the dividend is safe at these levels?
Q: FRU cut its dividend after market closed today. Do you feel that the market already anticipated the cut or do you think the stock will go down further tomorrow?
Q: I agree that the U.S. market is a good place to be and you have had a number of inquiries on which stocks to buy. But what am I missing? The exchange rate is at $ 1.19. To me, this means any stock purchased would have to increase by 19% just to break even. Can u help me with the logic of buying US at this time.
Q: Magna guided forward (2015) for lower revenue and lower sales. While we still have a bit of profit (TFSA,cash account), after the 7.7% price decline this morning, is it time to bail out in this co. or is it just a short term blip. It depends I guess on the economic outlook (Europe, China etc.).
Thank you for your invaluable help today,yesterday and always.
Q: Could you please offer your opinion on whether the Canadian Federal government would allow or interfere in a foreign company buying Blackberry. The latest news indicates South Korean Samsung is interested in BB. What do your sources say about this possible buy-out?
