Investment Q&A

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

Q: This is just a comment and I hope you actually post it because I am offended more than once by some language I see every now and then in our Member Questions section.

May I ask the members NOT to refer to Peter and the team at 5i as "gang," for example. Language Matters! Big time! Even when you want to show your casual or friendly attitude. So please address Peter and the rest of the team by names that show your respect for who they are and what they do for you and I everyday. They are "Gentlemen" as far I am concerned.

Thank you for your consideration.

Q: Regarding the dividend history. I use longrundata.com
It provides information on the last 8 dividend payments and then a 30 year history. It's a US site so you will need to add .tsx as a suffix. A disadvantage is that it doesn't seem to work where there is a dot in the address as in TCK.A or D.UN

Q: DHX is a stock I have held since January 2014. It is going down as fast as the rest of the market is going up. 5i seems to like it. What do you see in it?

Also, on my online account they issue buy alerts. I acted on one on Feb 18 after the alert. It was CS. It dropped 4.5% that day while the market was going up. I would be afraid to add to either one of them. Should I just stick to mutual funds because that seems to be the only way that I can make money in the market?

Thanks,
Dennis

Q: Hi Peter and Gang,

I have too many REITs in my portfolio and am planning to consolidate into two to four REIT holdings, simply from a manageability perspective.

Do you have any favourites in the sector and/or suggestions? I am an investor (vs trader) and would be interested in quality and growth over the long-term.

Many thanks,

Derek

Isn't this typical of late cycle moves into equities with rotation from other stocks into resources

If so, are we likely to see a more severe correction to equoty matkets in 3-6 months?

Q: Hi 5i. Do you have a preference between A & W and Boston Pizza? Both are B+, A & W has a higher yield but smaller. Any difference in growth outlook? Full disclosure - I go to Boston Pizza but not A & W. Thanks as always. Henry
