Investment Q&A

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

Q: In a previous question your replied "The 17% discount makes sense considering the stock has only traded above $1.40 for two days."
I would have expected the price would have been set/negotiated at some point prior to the announcement and so would have been at a premium while this was in "the works" which I thought would have been prior to the increase. But I suspect I'm not correct on this. Can you explain how this bought deal pricing is set? Thanks John

Q: Hi 5i team : what level of cash do you recommend in a portfolio ?, this outside the requirements of cash required for our own expenses (so not to sell stocks when the market had crashed/bottomed due to cash needs) . In the market environment as today , is 5%, 10 % ?, or in between ?, does it change according to the market condition ?, thanks

Q: IIROC has suspended trading, pending delisting.
As far as I know Mene has provided all documents so I suspect the delisting may be to take Mene private. Insiders own about 80% of the stock. If this is what is happening, how do you see this played out ? Is there any chance shareholders will get nothing or little ?
Thanks

Q: I am surprised that there have not been more questions on this stock (I count three in the last year), given its performance (from .40 to 26.00, 5300% according to T.R.). I appreciate it was higher in past years, but, still, there must be something moving this one. It is, now, a 2 billion market cap company. Perhaps I am just missing something. I would appreciate your thoughts going forward.
Thanks
Neil

Q: Dear 5i,

I am retired with a RIF. Is your Income Portfolio suitable for a RIF?
If not, what changes would you suggest?
If not, would you please consider providing a RIF Model Portfolio for your subscribers in the near future?

thanks for your advice

Q: I am retired, living off dividends and distributions I receive from my CDN portfolio. For a number of years, I have put my high-yielding REITs with less tax-efficient distributions in my TFSA. I have paper losses on all of them, but it is a long-term game and they still have high yields, except H&R. Given H&R’s holdings, in a context more negative toward retail and office spaces, should I take my loss, even in a TFSA, and replace it with NWH.un, which I have in my taxable account and has a higher yield? Thanks, Martin
