Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am interested in buying Cummins for a long term (5-10 year) hold, or a comparable industrial in USF. Honeywell is my only other USF industrial. Could you please give me your opinion on purchasing it on the fall, or recommend other industrials, with a at least a small dividend.
Your advise is always appreciated!

Q: Just for my understanding, what is it about SHOP that makes it so appealing? Looking at their financials, their costs have ramped up almost as much as their revenue. Revenue has grown 1600% over 5 years but they still haven't turned a profit. With revenues approaching 1 Billion, in order to achieve a reasonable P/E of say 25 based on today's price, they would need to increase earnings from a loss of 0.53 per share , to a profit of 8.00 (based on FY17), which represents revenue of 743B! I know the math isn't precise, but I think it illustrates my point.

Q: Maybe - we're really going to see a sustained positive - ongoing movement in the Cdn. oil patch. That said, I'm looking short term (1 yr) for a bite into several undervalued stocks, particularly where leverage is large. Would appreciate your comments on these in order of preference as well as any others. Thank you.

Q: Hello Team 5i,

Our current weight on DRG.UN has shot up to 7.6%. It's the only holding we have at this elevated weight, so not a huge danger to the whole portfolio. I would prefer to keep my winners but price is quite a bit above 200 day line suggesting pullback to mean and I wonder if I should sell some and take profits? Any words of wisdom from your team greatly appreciated.

Regards

Q: I initially bought a 1.5% position of COV but with the recent decline and me adding cash to other positions, it's now less than 0.7% of my portfolio...
I know you guys are not big fans of averaging down in bad momentum, but in this situation would you recommend doubling my position if I have some extra cash?
Leave it as it is or just sell since it has become such a small position?
Thank you!

Q: I have 2 questions.
I am looking to buy a few / up to 3 high dividend yielding US stocks for an income portfolio. What could you recommend ?
Looking to hold these US dividend stocks for at least 5 years, does the exchange rate and the premium to buy a US stock matter ? Or is that a long enough time horizon to migitate most of the exchange risk . Thank you
