Q: Hi, Why the Propel stock keeps dropping, despite excellent results ? Now, seems like, it has broken below the $25 support level ( recent gap up after earnings ) and is down $6 or, 20%, from the post earning bounce. Is it worth accumulating around $23 ? Thanks

Q: There have been questions asked about what Buffet would probably buy in Canada and 5i said that it would probably be in the energy sector. I wonder whether you would have an idea whether it might be in the oil side or the natural gas side? What do you think would be a likely target for him?
with appreciation

Q: I subscribe to your Portfolio Tracking and Analysis service and would like to suggest adding a feature to help clients such as myself who manage multiple accounts. (In my case, I manage registered and cash accounts for both myself and my husband,) It would be immensely useful to be able to track performance over time and compare it to the TSX, S&P and NASDAQ - both on an individual account basis and on a total account basis. Is this something 5i might be open to providing?

Q: I seem to recall OTEX being included in the past on your list of companies that were possible takeover targets? If that was true once, do you still see the possibility that the “assets” of the company would be desirable to someone today at it’s current valuation?

Q: TD launched a series of Target Maturity Bond ETFs that terminate in Nov of each given year (e.g. TBCF winds up in Nov 2026)
Normally, for Fixed Income, an investor could:
- own individual bonds with exact payment/maturity certainty but very laborious
- own traditional bond ETFs: very easy, but perpetually renewing maturities and mysterious trading prices---often downward, it seems
However these new ETFs seem to offer the best of both worlds.
MER is 0.20 vs XBB 0.10 which isn’t bad.
By TD’s offering chart (May 2), TBCF shows a Yield to Maturity (net of fees) of 4.87%.
Seems like a lot to like here for the individual investor, in Fixed Income.
As a Portfolio Analytics subscriber, the Asset Allocator is unhappy with my dearth of Fixed Income holdings!
