Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi, Desjardins came out with a $11.00 price target on CRIUS and a buy rating. That's almost a 49% increase and ad to that the 11% dividend. In your vu based on the latest financials, is this a realistic price target. Also, would a rate increase by the Bank of Canada on the 18th of April put more pressure on Crius's stock price.
Thank You.

Q: Hi 5i,

I just started using your relatively new "Companies" feature (https://www.5iresearch.ca/company/nasdaq/AAPL). I can't believe how AWESOME it is and has become a go to resource for researching companies: key metrics, earnings estimates, analyst ratings, insiders trades, and news items! I thought it would be something that was exclusive to members, but it seems to be available for everyone?

Anyway, AWESOME information there!

Q: I know its hard to compare these companies but do you have a preference between Banco Santander, Lloyds or Fiera Capital? Focus on value and dividend growth for a long term investor.

Could you give me an opinion in general about the US market ?

there could be pull back in the next few months
thanks

Q: I currently don't have any REIT exposure and think I should focus on a broad ETF for more safety and diversification as opposed to some of the smaller cap REIT's I have previously held although they do have much higher yields I am concerned about the risk exposure. Would this be a good time to start a position in ZRE and/or do you have another suggestion?
Thanks,
Craig

Q: To what extent do you see Alphabet being caught upon the same issues surrounding Facebook at the present and in the near future? Would you recommend lightening a 4.6% GOOGL position for the near term, similar to your FB comments to Brian on March 19?

Q: Greetings:
In a recent answer you commented that- " This is a classic PUMP AND
DUMP scenario" I can't recall the date or the stock. If you can, please advise in your answer. I read about a so called " ADVISOR ", who runs an investment service. This individual sends out emails to members with an opinion extolling mostly virtues of small cap stocks. It is followed by
several successive emails pumping the stocks. Then when asked later
about a particular stock invariably the answer is " I no longer follow it "
Never indicates that it has been sold. This is done over and over again.
Is this type of behavior illegal.? I have not mentioned any names as is
obvious, and would appreciate your opinion, so all of your members
will be aware of what they might get involved in. I would also appreciate
comments from the membership.
Thanks for all your help.
BEN.
