Investment Q&A

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

Q: Greetings Peter and 5i team: Along with every other investor, I suppose, I am interested in companies that have consistently created shareholder value over the long term with a history of dividend growth and superior ROE relative to their competitors. I am wondering if in today's environment there are any mid-cap or larger companies outside of the financial and energy sectors that fit that criteria but with a reasonable P/E relative to their historical valuations? I am thinking that based on previous Q&A that Magna might fit the bill right now? Any suggestions greatly appreciated, thanks.

Q: I have owned gsy for several months now and it was on a good upswing. I thought its 3rd quarter results were pretty good and from another question asked I believe you did too. Can you explain the dramatic drop over the last few days? Do you think it will rebound? Is it a lot of profit taking? Or is there something fundamentally wrong and I should sell while i'm still ahead?

Q: Hi guys
I see that there is a major shareholder that wants to call a special meeting and replace the board. What do you feel about this action and what it could mean to the company.At least it is encouraging to see that some one is trying to affect a change.The stock is trading at $.32 and they have about $ .70 in cash,it's almost in the best interest of the shareholders if they fold the company and give the shareholders the money after they pay back the debenture.

Thank-you

Q: Hello,

I have 100k (non-registered) that I need to use for a child's schooling over the next 5 years. I will need 20k each year for the 5 years. Looking to balance preservation of capital while looking to at least match inflation over the 5 years. No interest in equity. How would you recommend going about investing the funds? GIC's? Short term bond funds? Money market funds? Recommendations?

Regards,

Robert

Q: I'd like to get equity exposure outside North America through some ETFs. Could you recommend a few ETFs that would provide sufficient diversification across the rest of the world? Where should I focus? Europe? Emerging Markets?

Thanks,
