Investment Q&A

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

Q: I would very much appreciate your view on the sale of Dream Global to Blackstone. I'm a long-term holder, so not a bad move, yet the premium seems rather small, in the high-teens.
Will there be a competing bid, in your estimation, given the small premium?
Aside from that, is there a projected closing timeframe?
Thanks very much...

Q: Hi,

I have a two part question. I currently have enough cash in RSP to add one new position. Disregarding the fact that these are completely different companies/sectors, which security looks most attractive today as an entry point for a long term hold - ATA, GSY, or MX?

And second part, considering that some believe Sept-Oct can be a volatile period, would you generally think its ok to purchase now, or would it be prudent to wait until Nov?

Thanks for all your help and advice.

Q: It looks like the dividend growth % figures are incorrect for NTR on https://www.5iresearch.ca/company/tsx/NTR

The dividend has gone up, but the stats show a sharp 3 year and 5 year decline when there is only 1 year of history. Perhaps pre-NTR history is being included by the provider of this data.

Thanks

Q: Hello,
Due to spin offs in the past couple of years, I have ended up with equal shares of CTVA, DOW, and DD. Would it be a good idea to sell one or two of them and just hold one? If so, which one?
Thank you,
Dorthy

Q: Hello 5i,
I've done well with Shopify and Amazon with SHOP being up over 1000%. Lucky me!
They now collectively make up a little under 10% of my holdings. Everything I see says "better days ahead" so I don't mind holding on to them being a long term holder.
What do you think, is my exposure too concentrated?
Thanks in advance.
