• Constellation Software Inc. Unsecured Subordinated Floating Rate Debentures Series 1 (CSU.DB $120.89)

  • View CSU.DB Profile
  • View Questions on CSU.DB

Q: hello 5i:
Many moons ago, we bought CSU.DB as a fixed income part of the portfolio for its (large) interest rate over prevailing rates at the time. All that was expected was a steady, relatively safe interest payment. The fact we've now got a very good capital gain as well, is a real bonus.
So, the question: is there a debt instrument, currently, that you would put in the same class as CSU.DB, that still has decent liquidity?
thanks

Q: Dear Peter and Ryan.
I am confident in global recovery after deployment of the vaccines and would like to allocate fund to Recovery play in my RRSP. It is long term investment but it would be nice to see some gain in the short term too. Can you please recommend a few companies or ETF in CAD or USD?

Thank you,

Q: Is the US dollar still considered as strong a safe-haven currency as in previous years? If yes, is there typically a correlation between it rising along with the VIX? I have been surprised at the level the US dollar has dropped over the past year.

Q: Do you concur with seeking Alpha? Thanks!
Canadian Solar Inc. (CSIQ) is cheaply valued. Especially considering its growth potential. The company has a strong backlog in energy projects and plans significant production capacity expansion. It is also planning to unlock value by an IPO in China of a subsidiary. The relative valuation to peers looks good as well. The company had a strong performance over the past year, it's still a bit behind other solar stocks as shown by the Invesco Solar ETF (TAN).

Q: Hello 5i,

The BOC has clearly indicated that interest rates will not be increase until 2023 at the earliest and it does not appear that we will reach full employment anytime soon as long as the current pandemic continues to act as a drag on the economy.

My question: Why all this talk about interest hikes. What are the criteria supporting this conclusion and what is your view about imminent interest rate increases?

Q: Hi 5i,
I know you guys are long term investors and don’t like trading around earnings, but it seems to me that most tech stocks are priced to perfection these days and they can have great earnings calls and yet the stock sells off. Recent examples are NVDA, ROKU, TTD, SQ and SHOP (although SHOP announced a financing as well). For new positions, aren’t the odds in your favour to wait until after earnings to buy? Similarly, if one is overweight on a position, again it seems to me that the odds are in your favour to trim back prior to earnings. What are your thoughts on this approach?
Thanks again.
Dave
