Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i, can you tell me why CCL.B is showing a negative forward PE ratio? I was looking at starting a position but am wondering if this should be a concern.

Thx much.

Q: Hello 5i
Could you please give me your take on whether to add Zre at this time or wait until the interest rate decision is made by the FED?
Thanks,
Rick

Q: I'm going to buy. How low do you think this goes before first quarter earnings in Nov?

Q: I owned TCN for just three weeks and I'm down about 10% already. That's a very big and fast drop for such a short stretch for this type of relatively stable companies.

What do you think happened? Thanks.

Q: I signed up for the Money Show 2016 seminar but missed the presentation and would like to see the webinar, but I cannot seem to be able to download it on the website.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Q: Good day 5i team, question relates to Healthcare infrastructure within the hospital type environment. In talking to professionals working in primary healthcare (medical/surgical, palliative etc) I get the impression there is a strong need to re design and upgrade aging equipment (beds, monitoring equipment etc). Also, and this is already happening, software upgrades to record charting, patient file keeping etc. Do you have any mid/large cap TSX listed companies or ETF'S operating in this space that you would recommend for a registered/diversified portfolio
Thank you

Q: Is now a good time to buy Wells Fargo?

Q: Good morning! Could you please give me your thoughts on adding Blackstone Group (BX) to my RIF account? I hold mostly dividend paying low beta stocks and some bond etf's. BX has a good dividend and appears to be at a low for the year.

Q: For the past 8 years I have been trying to pick up yield by buying convertible debentures. My objective for the past few years was to get a yield to maturity of at least 5% on these debentures. Today Superior Plus is redeeming one of their convertible debentures (SPF.DB.F). I would like to buy another convertible debenture from the cash that I will be receiving. I am considering JE.DB or JE.DB.B. Both of them have yields to maturity in excess of 6%. What do you think of these two convertible debentures as a fixed income investment? Note that I am not concerned with conversion privilege. This is a proxy for exposure to a fixed income vehicle. I am only concerned about the yield and the company's ability to pay the principal at maturity.

Thank you

Q: Dear 5i,

Recently there has been some Q&A about Canadian company shares that trade in Canada and the US, and pay dividends in US dollars. I believe CSU is one of these. I looked into a bit and it seems to trade on the over-the-counter market in the US. Is that correct? If so, would you advise journaling shares from a $CDN account to a $US account to avoid the commission on the exchange rate on the dividends paid? My understanding is the OTC market is not very liquid and is generally to be avoided.

Thank you, Michael

Q: Nemaska is also moving fast, although not as fast as RCK. Any explanations? Target prices?

Q: Can you please explain something to me? Why, at least based on what I read in the newspaper, when the economy shows signs of deteriorating putting off risk of an interest rate rise the market goes up. When things look better for the economy and there is talk of raising rates the market goes down. Wouldn’t most legitimate business do better in a better economy? So shouldn’t it really be the other way around? Why are stocks thought to do better in low interest rate environment? And is it true that they do?
