Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have been following CVS for several years now, and currently hold a half position. During the past Q they were able to top analyst estimates for both revenue and EPS. They are also paying down their debt due to the purchase of Aetna. What do you think of their future prospects as a dividend income investment with some stock price appreciation?

Q: What are your thoughts on Q2 results for Quarterhill ? They have a market cap of $230 m , but net cash of $136 m . Have they received their US$109 court award from Apple yet ? They are buying back 10% of their shares , but that still leaves a lot of cash that they seem to be allocating to M & A activity . Would not a dividend increase or a special dividend be appropriate in these circumstances ?

Q: The q numbers, are not a surprise to me...are they better or worse than your expectations? It is the comments found in the president's message also in the Outlook section of the release which I need help deciphering, They sound very positive; do you buy all these opportunities for qst, all the optimism she talks about? How much of this is company spin?

Q: Hello Peter, many individual investors (certainly I) have terrible timing on their transactions. For example, if one has been following Becton Dickinson, looking to buy, one might be happy to see this morning's 8% drop and immediately place their order. How do you handle this type of situation? Wait and see where the dust settles? Jump on the 'new lower price'? Or wait some days or weeks to see a base and an upturn? Would you be comfortable buying BDX today, for the long term?

Q: Good morning 5i,
I appreciated your recent article, as usual. I find them helpful to understand what is going on in the investing world. You mention that the fang stocks comprise most of the gains over the past few months and that much of the market hasn't kept up. Some people are talking about a rotation out of technology into I suppose, more value oriented stocks. I don't know if this thesis is true. The Fangs seem to keep going up. But, do you think it might be a time to start a switch for a cautious investor? If so, would rsp , an equal weight US market etf, and brk, probably the definition of value, be a good way to approach this change
thanks
