Q: This is more of a comment than a question. I too watched the interview with Bruce Flatt and walked away very impressed. I found his calm, rational demeanor to be quite encouraging. When he stated that he is more cautious now than in 2009 he said it was because they knew then they were buying assets at $.50 on the $1.00. I simply took that to mean that we are not in a recession and no such bargains exists.....which is not a bad thing. However, he is realistic enough to know that markets move up and down and when the next recession or downturn happens (whenever that may be) they have access to plenty of capital, are global in reach and have "feet on the ground" to take advantage of it. Glad you recommended it for the portfolio.

Q: I have been very fortunate to have my second 10-bagger with ARWR bought at $4 in 2017 (after some earlier losses). It has been running very well recently but is down to-day on the news that they are issuing 4m shares at $58, well below yesterdays close of $68.66. Why would they issue new shares so far below the recent market? Is there something here to worry about?
Thanks for your great service, Bob.

Q: Good morning folks. I just received my Canadian Tire Mastercard Bill. As I am a preferred customer I have been enjoying a 16.99% rate which I never have had to use. They just increased it to 19.99%. I called them and they told me it is because Canadian Tire say it is because "we are going into a recession". I just thought this is odd that they are so sure that they raised the rates now instead of say a year or so from now. Do they have the illusive crystal ball? I just thought other members may be interested (or not).... post if you see fit.

Q: Thoughts on DOL's quarter?
Q: I read that the merger deal closes 3rd quarter 2020. Does this mean tsgi will continue to trade on its own until this time? I'm not sure I want to hold shares in the takeover company so how long do I have until I have to sell to avoid this?

Q: Hello 5i,
I am wanting to move more into US and rest of world, as the analytics program directs me.
Due to a sale in my tfsa, i will have US dollars that i can then put in my non registered account. ( i will fill the tfsa once afain from that same non registered account). I was wondering what to buy with these US dollars, though. I dont want to lose too much of. The divident break we have for US stocks in the Rif, so i was looking for low or no dividend yield candidates. One problem encountered is that in my non Canadian portfolio, i am moving away from individual stocks and towards etf's. Harder to find low or no dividend payers.
VEA was one I was looking at.
In the 5i portfolio tracking and analysis it says that vea has a yield of 1.89, which although not ideal, maybe something we could live with. When i go on the bmo site, though, it seems to indicate a yield of 2.99, which is becoming less livable.
I imagine you are riht about the dividend. But, would like to be sure. Also, do you see the 1.89 yield as being too high for a non registered account? Thanks once again

Q: Hello
I noticed APR.UN has a new issue release this evening. I'm thinking of using this opportunity to purchace some shares for my TSFA. I understand the risk of being concentrated in one sub class of real estate, but find compoany compelling. Could you provide me with your thinking and perhaps an alternative if you think its wise?
Thank you
Nicholas Marriott

Q: Further to my question re: a bought deal. I read i that the deal was for $ 92.50 a share US that is approx $123.00 Canadian. If shares were trading at a higher level prior to the deal - approx $126.00 - ( mind you they were around the bought deal price a week ago ) what is the "bought deal" part of issuing new shares?
I have read that term a few times and seen the stock prices for stock react wildly from the announcements - I am unsure what it mean or what the implications are.

Q: If the U.S. dollar takes a big hit in the next couple of years, maybe a 20% drop can you explain what would happen to the value of say ZTL. the CDN dollar version of the u.s. long term treasury bond. TLT has been the place to be ever since rates started falling over the last 20 years. On a currency devaluation i would think people would head for the exits pretty quickly?
