Q: Hi guys
I see under the Blackrock website for CJP it states "BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited anticipates that the units of this fund will be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange at the close of trading on February 21, 2017 and will be listed on the Aequitas NEO Exchange at the open of trading on February 22, 2017. Please click here for more information."
Is that something I should be concerned with? Would they be doing this for reasons of saving costs?

Thanks

Stuart

Q: Just a comment on reason for GS share price down today.
GS had a news release yesterday. Net Outflows accelerated in Q2/F18 to their highest level in over five years, thus validating our concerns surrounding the recent departure of key portfolio manager Ms. Jeannine LiChong (responsible for managing ~22% of GS' AUM at Q1/F18) which was announced early in the quarter (Oct. 10th).
Publish as you wish.
Thanks
Victor

Q: I sold EFN and bought ECN for hopefully more growth 6 months ago. Just looked and EFN is back down around 9$? I would have thought that EFN would be a big beneficiary of the strong US economy. What are you're thoughts? Do you think EFN is undervalued and a good investment?

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,
Would you consider Chesswood group a long term hold as the stock hardly moves and if it does, it is to the downside. It does have a nice dividend but given its performance, it is not a good enough reason to keep it. Your thoughts please. Also, i am thinking of increasing my weight to 5 percent for Savaria or Constellation software. I am leaning towards Savaria (growing sector, decent dividend, good momentum), but your thoughts please. Thanks very much.

Q: I read/hear conflicting opinions about the price of oil from well respected analysts in the print/electronic/TV media. Some say oil sector is the next place where the money is going to flow and others say there will be a pull back sooner than later. Do you think the new highs are there to stay? What are the top 3 to 5 companies from your favourite list that have already shown improvement due to higher oil price?
Many thanks.

Q: NWC has dropped more than 10% in the last 6 weeks at quite high volumes relative to previous volumes. Do you have any ideas as to why, given that there has been no news recently concerning this company? Is it sensitivity to rising interest rates? My intent is to buy a half position short term and a full position longer term, but I'm reluctant to buy with what appears to be a "falling knife" situation. How would you recommend one proceed, given my trading costs are low? Wait for the price to stabilize or a partial buy?
Thanks for any suggestions which you are able to make.

Q: Hello

I have a question on ''ANNUALIZED RETURNS'' definition.


I came upon this website and it has caused me some confusion.
https://www.wealthenabler.in/knowledge-center/financial-freedom-demystified/annualized-returns-vs-cagr/

I was under the impression ''ANNUALIZED RETURNS'' AND "COMPOUND ANNUAL GRowth RATE'' was the same thing but this web site suggests maybe it is not?


In my questrade account under returns it shows ''Annualized'', and I always believed that included ''compounding'' and was not just Overall % Gains / Number of years?


I am hoping you can straighten me out here.

Thank you so much.

Q: CJT is up 35% since I bought in early 2017. If the stock drops, of course so too would my gain. What is your advice on a stop limit sell. Today they are at $62 my cost was $46. A trigger limit of $58 would be 25% gain. A stop at $56.40 would realize 20%. If it fell like a stone past these prices, I would hold on for a rebound.
If it did drop and sell, when should I buy back in? Do you foresee it coming down, historically it’s at its high within pennies.
Thanks, I am new to 5i but am finding it a wealth of information.

Q: Constellation buys Acceo for C$250MM which might represent around $30-40MM of EBITDA. Whereas today CSU's market cap goes up $1.1B on a generally soft day. I'm pleased as CSU is one of my larger positions, however, is this market reaction seem appropriate to you or is something else going on? Or am I just over-analysing things? Thanks!
