Investment Q&A

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

Q: What is your advice on investment policy statements?
I have read everyone should have one, but hear very little about them.

Q: You note in recent news regarding Amaya.
"we advise shareholders to do nothing, unless they have a very big position, and then some caution is warranted. There is not enough information to make a sound decision just yet".

So my question is what would you consider a very big position, is this referring to percentage of a portfolio or cash value of the shares?

Q: Hi Peter,

What is your opinion of the headlines on the news...BNN and News Papers talking of U.S. Hedge Funds selling Canada. Will our Market collapse under this selling pressure. It seems like they were doing a good job of selling the Canadian Market down except for the last three days.

Appreciate your opinion, thank you

Q: I've been pondering ATD.B for the last month and have now missed almost a 15% gain. With today's acquisition, is today's price still a good entry point for my RRSP? I do not need the money for another 20 years and I have no consumer stocks in my portfolio.

Q: Hi,

Are you familiar with the American ETF symbol SDY? It is bench marked against the S&P HighYield Dividend Aristocrats Index. Would you consider it a buy?

Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and Crew,

Seasons Greeting to all.

Not sure if I am missing something, but the future for K-Bro looks to be very bright. I would imagine their cost of doing business is falling (Nat Gas for running the laundry, Gasoline for delivery fuel). Yet revenues could be steady and climbing. Do you see a dividend hike in the near future ? If your 5i rating was not already close to the ceiling, would this be the sort of change (lower energy costs) that would initiate a raise on the rating scoreboard ?

Q: A major reason for CPH moving up might be that it is now cross-listed on the NASDAQ, as CPHR, although volumes are very low there.

Q: I echo the sentiments expressed previously in wishing Peter, Ryan and everyone and their families at 5i, the best this holiday season!! I would also like to extend these wishes to all members and their families fortunate enough to benefit from this great service!!

Prior comments have generally been positive on Timmins Gold. Could we get your take on their purchase of the Caballo Blanco prospect from Gold Group Mining. Do you know the asset at all? Was it a shrewd move at this time or are there issues that might keep this property from ever becoming a mine?? Thank you very much for your time.

Anthony

Q: I see and appreciate that you still find EH attractive at its new price. I was sideswiped on a small position in this stock by the oil patch downturn. I bought for the diversification but did not get it. Such is the stock market! A collapse in Alberta's housing will obviously affect EH. What kind of growth premium is currently in the stock price? Is this now a relatively cheap stock on some other kind of metric?

TIA

Q: This stock has had a great move this year. I hold a 3% position and would like your thoughts going forward.
Take profits and redeploy or do you see continued upside for CPH. Also PHM Patient Home Monitoring is at 2.5% position and has done very well. Take profits, or continue to hold.
