Investment Q&A

Q: Hello. I am looking for some advice on preferred shares. Given the current situation of rising interest rates, which type of preferred shares (reset, perpetual, or floating) should I buy to maximize my dividend income and capital appreciation in the future? Thank you.

Q: If the appeal process results in the current judge's order being upheld and Enbridge being forced to "move Line 5" (which sounds to the uninformed to be potentially rather costly) what is the possible effect on the equity - in other words, what are shareholders looking at as a possible downside, what is the risk of this worst case scenario, and what does the 5i crystal ball say will likely happen. Does this alter your positive outlook on this stock as a solid income hold with some likely capital improvement over time - is it still a buy. Thanks for your opinion on this news.

Q: Can you suggest a few US and Canadian stocks with good momentum and fundamentals that are well positioned to trade, but at the same time can be kept long term if the trade goes sour?

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you name a few start-up companies that have good management and decent growth potential as well as some cash on hand to fund operations, research and development for at least the next year, hopefully more. These would likely be companies that have not yet attracted analyst coverage and are low on the radar screen of investors. Any sectors in the U.S. and Canada are fine and market cap is not a concern. I feel that LMN and TOI might fit this description but I already hold them and am looking for some new ideas. Thanks.

Q: Hello,

TD believes that BN is only pricing in BIP, BEP and BAM and ascribing no value to BBU, oaktree, insurance and the real estate.

Do you agree? If so, this must be a deal of a century?

TD- After subtracting the market value of BN's stakes in BAM/BEP/BIP, the stock is ascribing negative value to the stake in BBU (~$1.75/share), real-estate (~$20.00/share), insurance (~$2.50/share), and carried interest (~$3.60/share). BN's ~$4bln of annual FCF provides considerable firepower to address the discount, although share buybacks must be weighed against the prospect of growing the franchise. We believe that BN's conviction in the intrinsic value of its stock price is evidenced by ~$750mm of TTM share repurchases and ~ $100mm of share purchases in the open market by the senior executive team.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Portfolio Analytics indicates an overweight position in Utilities where the current holdings are BEP.UN, CPX, and FTS. Only CPX is showing a loss, and the other two have substantial gains. In what order would you sell part positions, in order to raise cash for Consumer Cyclical? This sector’s holdings include ATD, BYD, and CCL.B. In what order would you add to existing positions? Please suggest other Consumer Cyclical stocks to consider starting a position, if you feel it would further diversify our holdings in this sector. Thanks as always for the pertinent advice.
