Investment Q&A

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

Q: You answered Cathy's question about Nutrien on January 12, and I have a similar question. I met someone last week who works for Nutrien, and states that the company is in trouble and starting to sell off some of its businesses in various communities. I am not sure if there is any validity to this statement and curious if your research shows otherwise.

Q: At what price does Laurentian Bank become interesting? Yeah, they've had problems but the dividend is pretty high and a while ago you though it was somewhat secure. It is trading at a ten year low price. Plus, if I have the right book value, we have a bank selling well below book value.

Don Coxe used to like quoting Stein's law which says "that which cannot continue will cease." Any thoughts as to how that might play out for this bank? (sell to somebody or eventual price rise or quietly disappearing...)

Q: 5i you don't have to post this publicly as I don't want to offend anyone or shame people from asking questions. For the first 8mos after LMN was spun out from CSU investors could have bought Lumine for under $21. Now that it's over $30; apparently, it's too late?

CSU went from $20 to $3500 in 15yrs but buying LMN.v at $30 is paying too much. I'm not saying LMN will follow the same trajectory but investors familiar with the CSU story would love to be able to go back in time to buy CSU at $30.

Q: Portfolio Analytics indicates that across our accounts, we are overweight in the Financial Services sector. In order to free up some cash for under=represented sectors, my thinking is to reduce TD enough to achieve the target amount. I'm a bit uneasy with some of the recent negative issues with TD, but still would like to keep some due to its wide moat and 5i's opinion that perhaps its "problems" have been overplayed. Would you concur with my strategy? Thanks.

Q: 5i has given our family some very good investment ideas. Among the good ones that have benefitted our accounts lately are LMN and HPS.A. Thank you for these.
