Q: Hi 5i team:
I have a decent position in NA, which I like , but its price response to the recent month volatility and the "hold" recommendation from analysts is leading me to believe I should switch to another bank , what is your opinion and which bank would be a better buy now ?.
thanks
PD. There would be a new update on the market recent volatility

Q: Would appreciate your overall review and comments on Grande West Transportation (BUS-X) announcement today of their First Buy America Contract by a group of Mississippi based transit authorities. There was no financial information in the announcement I read and wondered if you know whether the company provided this info elsewhere? Thanks

Q: Further to my previous question on ACI, as the company holds Cdn drop down pipeline assets of ALA would you generally view the dividend as more secure than ALA’s? Also, how would you compare ACI vs RNW in terms of dividend security and growth profile as both are Cdn drop down companies. Which is more attractive? Thanks.

Q: Good morning 5i,
My question concerns tax loss selling. If half a position was sold, say, roughly a month ago, I would be able to purchase the stock again today. But, say if I decided to sell the other half of the position today, would I have to wait another thirty days before buying anything back? Or, could I buy the original half back, now.
thanks

Q: Greetings team 5i,

Beside my core portfolio, I invest about 5% of my money in a “fun” portfolio. It has not been much fun recently. I bought ABBV (at the top) in order to write covered calls and cash-secured uncovered puts.

These calls, written just out-of-the-money and puts written just in-the-money on Mondays with the expiry date on the Friday of the same week, have produced premiums ranging from $US0.81 to $US2.73 which happened this week.

Why is there such a wide range of premium prices and what do the higher premiums suggest?

Thank you.

Milan

Q: The stock price of EMA has fallen from $50 to below $40 over the past 12 months. What do you think is the reason for that?
Secondly, as an income investor, the current yield of 5.84% dividend is very enticing. Or, is such a high dividend a red flag in this case? Is it sustainable?
What is your advice on purchasing this stock at the present time?

Q: Hi, The listed companies have been where I have taken a big hit. As a novice investor the lesson I've learned is that it makes sense to average into a position, especially in an uncertain market. Losses in these stocks have taken over 5% of my portfolio. Can you comment please that all of these companies show promise for the long term, and there is good reason to say they will bounce back when the markets do recover? I know that MFC has a litigation issue, and TCL.A has an acquisition that is somewhat off the rails. I don't need this money for at least 15 years, but also want to feel sure I'm setting up my RSP for an increase within a few years. Thanks.
