Investment Q&A

Q: 5i team,
I want to understand more about ENB's debt. Most company web-sites allow the user to easily drill down under "Investor Relations" to find what one wants. The ENB web-site seems different - their Search engine asks "What can we help you find?" I tried to use this, but found it ineffective in finding what I want, debt or other info. Are you able to help on this? Thank you. Edward

Q: Hi 5i team, different analysts use different data bases and we have faith in yours. Would you please mention 10 growth stocks that will have earnings double such as PUR and growth rate / PE ratio > 1. Thanks.

Q: In your answer to Joe this morning about analyst ratings, you are less than positive on the process. This does not surprise me, but it raises the question about analyst predictions for a company's quarterly reports. The market seems to place great stock in the consensus estimates (and this seems to be getting worse in the last couple years), instantly slamming a company that misses on EPS or whatever metric. Are the analysts that make up "the consensus" the same analysts you were talking about? Why does the market think they should correct, particularly when (I assume) they don't have all the information available to the Board members; and, as you mention there are usually some ulterior motives? Just curious.

Thank-you

Q: What is your opinion of this company and are there other companies in this sector that you like.

Q: Hi 5i,

With regards to Applied Materials (Amat) the 2 most recent questions on your website are from June and August of this year. I am wondering what your current thoughts are regarding this company with items such as Free Cash Flow, Earnings Growth, Debt, Cash Position, Management, P/E, it is overbought at this time etc.

In this sector, would you prefer another company such as Nvidia or any other companies that I should be looking into?

Thanks. Love your service!

Q: I hold PBH.DB.E and am wondering if I should sell the debenture as the current price has gone over the conversion price adjusted for the 125% April 2019 redemption price.

Q: RE: Peter Lynchs' general positivity about spin offs.
Opinion about the new spin off Viemed from PHM. Do you know if any of the old management from PHM will be involved with the new company or will it be fresh people from outside rather then some reshuffling of the old mismanaging guard?
Do know how the arrangement will work wrt shares. I don't own any PHM at the moment. Would there be any benefit of purchasing any before the split?
Thanks

Q: The correction in this stock (RE: Toys R Us bankruptcy) is quite startling. The last conference call was optimistically projecting a recovery. This is a large, experienced manufacturer of many popular brands which lost 50% of its value in 4 months. Is this punishment justified and is it a good investment right now?

Q: What are your thoughts on NVMI, Nova Measuring Instruments and NANO, Nanometrics Limited? Both are in the metrology side of the semiconductor industry. and their valuations seem reasonable. Would you prefer one or the other? Or is there another company in this space that you like? Thanks-in-advance.

Q: Greetings. CBL, MKP, FC all pay a great dividend, but have lost Cap value over the past year or so. Forward trending does not indicate much value appreciation. Should I be concerned with this sector of altrenative lenders to the major banks. Sell or hold ? Other options to consider. ie some growth expectation and a reasonable div or say +4%
Thanks
