Q: Hi Peter & team
Have learned to take most of the guests comments on Market Call/Tonight with a grain of salt often thinking conflicts and ulterior motives may be in play which, by the way is what makes 5i so valuable to all of us.
Having said that, Colin Stewart who I have grown to appreciate has provided some very accurate commentary in the past had some very positive comments re RPI today.
So I took a look at some of the metrics in play... Debt/Equity ratio 0.59, Price/Cash Flow 9.38, Price/Book 1.92 and Book Value/share is at 6.81.
There doesn't appear to be a ton of debt, the dividend is excellent, and as Colin said, this is a fairly recessionary proof business that generates good cash flow.
I am surprised there are not many questions on this company in the 5i forum... especially looking at it's recent performance - up almost 10% today.
What is you opinion? Why no interest from the membership? And would you consider RPI a sell/hold/or buy at this time?
Thanks for all you do
Gord

Thank you for your help.

Q: New member, first question :
What would be a sensible approach for a portfolio in the red for a number of years basically due to investments in shares of gold and silver companies, and to a lesser extent in uranium and iron ore ?
I am 74 old,and, as such, not looking for long term, but my investment portfolio is needed to supplement a modest pension. I have been hoping for a resurgence of gold and uranium prices, but I am beginning to despair on that account. Here are the shares I hold and, in parenthesis, my losses on paper against the price paid: in my regular account: anv-t (94% ) auq-t(45%) edv-t(89%) mag-t(17%) mdn-t(15%) sso-t(72%) slw-t(2%) yri-t(67%) nugt-n(62%), cev-t(99%) wai-t(99%), yel-t(90%), mat-t(92%), mga-t(58%). In my RRIF: ar-t(79%) abx-t(49%) bto-t(19%) img-t(60%) vgz-t(88%) . I also hold in my RRIF McKenzie Precious Metals (57%) and Sprott Gold (12%). In total, my losses on paper in my regular portfolio is 26 % and in my FERR, 52. %. The question is what is worth selling and keeping ? I would like to raise capital to invest along 5iResearch lines, but I see no point in selling shares who have lost more than 60% of their value as I will never recover from such a loss, even with the guidance of 5i research to buy promising companies. I already use a maximum of margin credit in my portfolio. Your views, Dr. Hodson ?

Q: I am very surprised at the relatively poor performance of HRX over the past year, particularly given the very large backlog of orders it is supplying to Boeing (and others). (Both National Bank and Scotia analysts have given it a 1-yr target of >$14 for some time now.) I would appreciate your opinion as to whether I should buy (more), sell, or hold. Thanks!
Q: Was there any reason for the run up in the stock price today? I dont see any news out on the company but there was really high volume.

Q: I have a few different portfolios like many people. My RSP, my wifes RSP, her spousal RSP, Mine and her investment account, TFSA's and my kids RESP's. How does one do sector weightings for each of these? Should they be bunched togeather and considered as one or each of them should be viewed as a seperate entity.
Like your article pointed out in general some of these are weighted more towards finanlcials (SLF, BNS and HCG) and Oil (SGY and WCP) I am am trying to balance to consumer staples, health care and consumer descretionary. I am inclined to wait a little bit for the oil sector to improve prior to balancing. Some guidelines and suggestions are welcome. Thanks very much.
