Q: I noticed that AC is trading at a 4.7 cash flow price ratio, P/E is about 11.5 . My understanding is that, in general, airlines are a poor investment, but I wonder if AC will be willing to pay a dividend, and I ask myself how investors would react to that. Could AC become a dividend paying stock and convert to utility type of company ? , would you buy it just for the growth ? or is too volatile for a long term hold ? thanks

Q: Good morning team 5i
All of these stocks are down. Setting aside sector weights and realizing I am asking for a "crystal ball" answer, which of the above do you think has the quickest (6 months to a year) upside? I have a bit of cash for this specific exercise. Much thanks as usual for all you do!

Q: 5i Team,

Please provide your guidance on US based ETF's that you believe could be a buy now, and perhaps others that could be placed on a watch list pending a market adjustment or a new developing trend line. Goals would be moderate growth (lean towards safety) with a steady and growing dividend. I currently hold VIG and would want to expand my US based exposure. Position would be held in either a cash or rrsp account. Many thx. Steve.

Q: My question concerns my rif which has 50% cash right now with u.s. div. stocks representing that 50% invested. I am considering investing equally in usmv - aem and cwb (convertible bond etf) in this rif. Does this make sense in todays investment market with the u.s indexes at all time highs and trading sideways or should i hold that cash into year end . That cash in the rif represents about 23% of my overall cash position. We are 70 yoa with enough income from canadian dividend stocks to supply us with our living so look at this amount as next generation money...thanks for the great service...

Q: I am considering an account with interactive brokers and i see they have a securities lending program where you loan the shares for shorting purposes and receive a collateral cash amount on which interest is paid. Is there a risk to this? You can sell the shares any time. Do you know if there is a CIPF protection for the shares loaned to interactive brokers?
I know you do not recommend brokerages, but I would appreciate if you can point out any disadvantage (advantage) as compared to self directed brokerage with a Canadian bank.
Regards

Also, what is your feeling today regarding the recent shift from growth to value, will it continue or does it seem like it has run its course?
