Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi Peter & Team,

A commentator on BNN predicted a 90 cent loonie compared to the US dollar in the not-too-distant future. In general, and if there's a choice, would an unhedged ETF (e.g. CLU.C) be preferable to a hedged version of the same or similar ETF?

Thanks in advance and Season's Greetings to everyone at 5i and also to the members who ask such insightful questions.

Q: Thanks for the update today on Great Canadian (GC). I am looking for some exposure to the gaming industry. This may be comparing apples to oranges, but of the three companies that you follow(GC, GH, AYA), which would you consider the best investment given that only one of the three pays a dividend. Or perhaps a small bet on each of the three.
Thanks, Chuck

Q: Hi,

First of all, I like to wish happy holidays to all of you. Hopefully we do not bother you with any questions during this period:)
Second, I like to get your take on TRZ.B. The earnings were pretty good and they have tons of cash but the stock is under pressure. One reason I can think is the weakening of Canadian dollar and the second could be that the investors were expecting some sort of special or regular dividend from them. Do you think of any other reason and do you like the company at this level.

Q: Peter and staff, My question is on Cominar. It cotinues to be not well liked by the market. Many of the other reits have stopped going down or are recovering somewhat. I thought that Cominar was a very good stable reit. I must be missiing something. Can you please tell me what it is? Is there something different about Cominar from the other high quality reits? The best of the season to all of you, Thanks, Ken
