Investment Q&A

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

Q: Greetings 5i,

I currently hold a half position in both ENB and SU, and, like many others I assume, am getting somewhat discouraged with the performance of the Canadian energy sector this year. I am more than willing to be patient, as I am only 35, and feel that both are good companies with strong fundamentals. More than anything however, I do not want to give in to panic selling.

Could you please provide your assessment of each as a long term hold (5 years plus)?

Please deduct a credit for each if you deem it appropriate.

Thank you.

Q: Good Morning: Regarding NAFTA and softwood lumber, having placed tariffs on Cdn producers, our exports have been replaced with lumber from Russia. (Their exports have increased 42% YTD at our expense.) Would you consider our negotiating position is more compelling and would you recommend adding softwood securities now? If so, any recommendations? Thank you. Marty

Q: I am looking at adding CSH.UN to my income portfolio based on your recent addition. However, I note that it is down over 6% since being added to the 5i income portfolio last month.
You often respond that you like to invest in stocks with positive momentum vs negative. Following this advice, when/how would you recommend investing in CSH.UN, as it appears to have negative momentum?

Q: Hi Peter,
I am considering buying TPK and RPI.UN for a long term hold. I am 69 and am interested in dividend yield to augment my pension. I consider these "filler stocks" that I buy when I have cash that I don't need to use. If these are not good candidates,can you suggest others that are under the $30. range. Thanks for your input.
Jane

Q: Why does mux keep dropping with the price of gold rising and their recent purchase of black fox, one would think the share price should be differently reflected.
Was black fox a mistake, why were the earnings down in the last quarter and with gold seemingly headed higher what should I expect from mcewen going into the next quarter or two and/or over the coming year. Thank you

Q: Hello Peter and staff:
I hold shares of Tourmaline in my RRIF account and they are down 47% and I was thinking of selling them and investing the money in shares of Rio Tinto.
Your thoughts on these two companies and the soundness of this switch.
In my question today, I forgot to ask that since common shares of Rio Tinto are being purchased in a RRIF account, is there foreign tax withheld from the dividend that it pays?
Thank again
Thank you.
