Q: Hi 5i Team - At today's prices what are some key metrics and ratios for each of these three companies starting with P/E and free cash flow. Also how do they compare with the same metrics and ratios a year ago or whenever the AI theme started to become a concern. Are all three companies profitable.
Thanks.

Q: Last week I sent you a question about etfs and my portfolio. You answered my question and suggested I put some money in fixed income because I am 60 and retired. GICs currently appear to yield about 2.5%. Bonds seem to vary greatly. Can you suggest a fund where I would get a steady return.
Thanks Steve

Q: Peter; I’m assuming you saw the options exercised today by the Chairman. It was announced on the TSX , but not on the US. It also traded over 2M shares in the US. Were there any large blocks in the US traded and does the Chairman have any restrictions on the optioned shares? If not,would it be an overhang. I don’t think it’s the most liquid stock here but in the US it seems much better. Could you just comment on the news ? Thanks.

Q: I am looking to establish a 10-year bond ladder within my RRSP as part of a broader effort to balance my portfolio. At present, I’m finding that my brokerage platform (BMO InvestorLine) does not consistently provide all of the details I need to make well-informed bond purchase decisions.

Question 1:
Can you recommend reliable sources or tools that provide key bond information such as credit rating, yield to maturity, seniority, and call features for Canadian bonds?

Question 2:
Is there a bond ETF you would recommend that closely replicates the structure and cash-flow characteristics of a bond ladder, as a DIY alternative to purchasing individual bonds?

Thank you for your guidance.

Q: Greetings,

Pondering on buying VHI but concerned about the supposed buyback yield of -Minus 20%

1. Does that mean 20% more shares introduced ? eek! Alarm bells or not?
2. Implications going forward? Your most recent comment was sell (is that still correct?)
4. Buy at what sort of price?
5. Insider ownership is at 10%

What to do?
Cheers
