Q: There has been a few upgrades on this stock lately. With a huge dividend, it appears to be gaining some momentum and might be a place to build a small position. Could I have your thoughts please? Also, what is the difference between this and the Greys (MHIVF)? I thought I was buying some IVQ.U on the TSX with US Dollars but ended up with MHIVF.

Thanks Always

Q: Hello 5i.
In assessing companies you mention ROA, ROE and ROC. Aside from these would it be beneficial to compare ROC (sic. ROIC) with WACC? If WACC is more than ROIC and the company is shedding unprofitable assets, then would there be a case for still seeing that company in a favourable light?
Thank you
Stanley
