Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi; I read an excellent article in the Globe this weekend regarding Robert Schiller's CAPE valuation ratio. It implies that the US is significantly overvalued. It also implies that Russia is a deep value investment with a CAPE ratio <6. Is there a Russian ETF that you would recommend to provide exposure and perhaps benefit from this. Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

This is a general question on your balanced model portfolio. After making some significant gains in the oil sector over the past couple years, I'm entirely in cash now and looking to establish a safer portfolio for the longer term (I'm 41). I see that you set March 31st as the start date for the portfolio, does this mean that you will select a new set of stocks at this point based on the best value available, or does the list remain the same. I'm not rushing in to anything at the moment, so would be willing to wait until March 31st if you reevaluate at that point. I'm new to your service and find all the information extremely helpful.

Thanks!

Q: In an answer to a member's question yesterday about Canadian stocks with high dividends, you said: "Looking at names with a market-cap above $100M, we see NBZ (13%)...".

Northern Blizzard cut their dividend in half in early December; it's now .24 cents per year, paid monthly. At the current share price of CAD $3.63, the div yield is actually 6.6%, not 13%.
