Investment Q&A

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

Q: NPK seems to be on a bit of a break out the last few days. Do you feel that is due to fertilizer prices? Nutrien has gone down because of accepting lower prices in China while NPK has only 3% of the market in Brazil where they have plenty of room to expand their market. Are the prices in Brazil , where they use a lot of fertilizer ,rising or falling? Is the currency in Brazil strengthening or weakening? Thanks, as always

Q: Question for the 5i team. I took over our investment accounts about 8 years ago and since then bonds were not particularly attractive. As bonds my be about to have their day in the sun I feel it may be time to consider adding them to our portfolio. I however lack the knowledge and experience to make informed decisions at this time. The first part of the question is, can you recommend any informative reading or sites that would be of benefit to a novice bond investor. The second part would be a quick summary of your outlook for bonds, longterm, short term, etc and opinion as to which bonds, ie treasuries, to junk, would offer high yield without excessive risk for young retirees. Thanks for all your helpful and sage advice.

Q: What is your general feeling of Magna for next 5 years? What hinders growth? Would you move on, and possibly what is a better choice?

From a consumer perspective dealers seem unable to meet auto delivery demands (long wait times) and I would guess this should mean high demand for the Magnas of the world.

Thank you!

Q: what do you make of this deal between Hai and ET?how far is this deal done?
It called for ET buying Hai for $4.5 so there is still about 10% upside here.
Would this be an easy trade right now to buy Hai for $4 .If there is no takeover ,what would be the fair price be for Hai you think?
Are there insiders owning Hai and what are the positions.
Same as for ABST takeover.wouldn't it be good to buy ABST right now?or is it all too risky?Thanks

Q: I would like to add to above existing positions.
I believe that CSU dropped enough to make it interesting after recent new highs. LIN looks like a steady large company with a good future. GEI has a nice dividend and good analyst reports.
Please give me your opinions on each.
Thank you

Q: Not sure if this is within the scope of your service, but can you explain why a country like Japan with a huge amount of debt-to-GDP has not had a collapse of it's currency from YCC or huge inflation? How is it that increased debt has let to deflation? I've heard some reasons over the years but none that make sense.

The reason to ask is our Canadian, European and US governments also have a huge debt burden, increasing interest payments on this debt and a continuing increase in debt over the foreseeable future. How could any rational investor have confidence in this debt/credit based system? Will we turn Japanese? (to quote the Vapor's song!) What factors would push us into deflation vs inflation?
