Investment Q&A

Q: What do you make of the CEO leaving? Is the sharp drop in the share price just about the small cut in the dividend, interest rate worries, or maybe some bad news related to the sudden CEO departure.

Thanks
Peter

Q: Good morning,

I'm considering adding a small position of BXMT in my Non Reg US portfolio to generate some additional US $ income. With a 7% yield, how safe is this distribution and would you recommend any other name in its place to achieve my objective? Also, your thoughts on TF in my RSSP account would be appreciated. Thank you

Q: Is there any reason TH continues to drop in view of their seemingly excellent 3Q report, released Oct 4. First time EBITDA positive with good growth ahead, good balance sheet with 66 mil in cash and really no debt. An enigma!! thanks

Q: Hello 5I.
I have a question about warrants and the tax loss. Are the Greenspace warrants and the greenspace common stock consider the same entity for tax purposes? Meaning could I see one and purchase the other on the same day and get a loss or would it be forfeited?
Thanks

Q: For a 35 year old with $6000 to put in self directed rrsp would it be better to buy the etf ZEB and pay the mer or would it be better to allocate $2000 each to RBC, BNS and TD or all $6000 to BNS

Q: In a question on GS you referred to a decline of 2.3% in assets. Could you explain what those assets are { I'm guessing customers } the reason attributed to the decline and how GS is planning to address the issue ? My impression is that GS is a wealth management firm and I would like to know why customers have left them and how they plan on getting them back or any other plans they may have to increase business......
Thanks

Q: I had to respond to comments respond to comments regarding 5i's reluctance to issue early sell signals.
It's OK to want this, but the onus is on the individual investor to make those decisions him or herself. I'm shocked every time I see someone say I'm down 50% on this stock, is it time to sell?
If it's down 50% you need a double to break even.
I would suggest a stock rolling down a hill is unlikely to double in anything resembling a short time frame.
There are plenty of ideas on how to mitigate losses. Stops (I prefer mental because it gives me more freedom) to charting to just plain, common sense.
If people are willing to let their investments ride the roller coaster down, blaming the messenger won't fix the problem.
Sorry for the rant, but I pay attention every day. And make corrections as needed,
If a person doesn't have the time to invest it seems unlikely, to me, the money they invest will perform up to their expectations..

Q: I have owned Gluskin Sheff for some time. Could you give me an overview of your thoughts on this company.

Q: Question 1 - TEAM has announced quarterly results and can you comment this.

Question 2 - There is reference to IFRS and Non IFRS financial information.
I find this confusing. On one basis the results appear good, on the other not so good. I feel more comfortable with the Non IFRS reporting. Can I discount discount/ignore the IFRS method or is this the wrong thing to do.
Appreciate your guidance.
John

Q: Thoughts on TEAM's report? Do you still like the company for a 5 year hold?

Q: I have owned Fortress Global Enterprises Inc. (FGE) for at least 5 years with an average cost of about $20.00 per share. It is now worth about $2.00. Fortress used to be involved in several paper businesses. However, due in part to the imposition of import duties imposed by some of the countries in which its customers were located, Fortress sold off some business lines, re-focussed on its pulp business and under-gone recent re-financing. Is there any hope for this company or should I dump it from my non-registered account and claim a capital loss?

Q: Hello 5i.
Any idea why it has been dropping? At what price would you get interated again? Lastly is it a buy?

Thanks

Q: Hi, was thinking that the market is volatile, and in a small downward trend, hopefully nothing comes of it.
As a mostly income, small growth investor i’am down 20% on INE, it seems to be over done? I was thinking of holding on into the new year even if it goes down more.
Are you ok with the quality of INE to hold for a recovery and collect the dividend, or would you sell and move on? What is your favourite income stocks to HOLD in a market downturn?
Thanks for your views

Q: There is news today that Amazon & Sirius will be competing in SPOT's
territory. Stock is taking a hit.
