Investment Q&A

Q: I put a bunch of new money into my various holdings after some of the big market drops. I did miss the bottom and have just come into quite a bit more cash. Would you be deploying now after the recent gains, or do you have reason to believe there will be another sell of and decline? I have a tough time thinking the crisis is over, and if the stock market is just going to go up from here that really means the entire world overreacted doesn't it?

Q: When does SHOP next report? What is the consensus? Based on what's happening in the world today, what numbers do you see for SHOP? Is the market expecting a big beat and has this already been priced in?

Q: Your thought on Knot off shore Partners

Q: Another member pointed out that you have a link to "Dividend Updates", which I did not notice before. I don't recall seeing an email announcing that.

What is the criteria for entries in that list? Is it all Canadian stocks that report dividend changes? Since Jan 1, 2020?

I maintain my own list of dividend changes for stocks that I own, and noticed that there are a few dividend changes missing from your list. These changes were announced after Jan 1, 2020.

Specifically:

PPL Announced 20200106, up 5%
BPY.UN Announced 20200205, up 0.76%
BCE Announced 20200206, up 5%
BAM.A Announced 20200213, up 12.5%
TD Announced 20200227, up 6.76%
ENGH Announced 20200305, up 22.7%
SGY Announced 20200309, down 90%
VET Announced 20200316, down 82.6%
SGY Announced 20200415, dividend suspended
MX Announced 20200429, down 90%

Q: With the recent acquisition being mostly debt financed do you have any concerns over the new level of debt of Martello. Do you feel they will be able to maintain their payments over the next two to three years. Also could you give a brief overview of their balance sheet including cash on hand. Thanks.

Q: Thoughts on HQY, NVEE and ZS?

Q: Thoughts on DHI?

Q: Hello, what are a few REITs you like that have less commercial exposure but has been beaten up perhaps unfairly. I have made a decision to stay away from Calgary heavy/ commercial heavy REITS. But still looking for "value"

Thanks.

Q: Hi,
I am interested in DIR but not totally sure what qualifies as "industrial" / how affected it is from the economy. Is industrial mostly amazon type delivery stuff? I'm just trying to figure out how much COVID impacts DIR... because amazon/online shipping seems to be fine (other than people spending less due to having less money), but what other uses are industrial?

Would you suggest switching CSH (even at a loss) to DIR at this time?

Thank you as always

Q: Hello 5i,

I currently hold BYD as a representative company of the Consumer Discretionary sector. I am looking to add another one in the same field.

Can you provide a list of companies in Consumer Discretionary that you like in order of preference?

Thank you

Q: The CRA just charged me 50% of the value of my SDX shares (which aren’t really worth that much )because they apparently aren’t on the TSX anymore and I hold them in an RRSP.
Please tell me that the same thing isn’t going to happen with the TSGI shares when the deal goes through with Flutter.
Thanks
Randy

I appreciate it,
Brent
