Investment Q&A

Q: I am down more than 50% on CRWD.US, ROKU.US, and GH.US in my RRIF and should have been paying more attention as they kept getting lower.

Is there any hope for a distinct short term (1 year) revival, or would a better plan be to sell all/any of them and invest in something with momentum.

Suggestions are welcome.

Q: hello 5i:
can you compare XHY and USHY? USHY looks to have a much higher yield, particularly as its in US dollars. Is there a large risk difference in these ETFs?
thanks

Q: Hi, Could you please comment on Topicus results. Looks like a nice beat on Revenue and EPS to 5i expectations !! 6%/4% organic growth for the quarter/full year seems impressive. Do you think market would like it and stock should regain some strength ? Thank You

Q: Hi Peter,

Why do you think IPCO drop so much today specially when Oil is having a good day. Does it change your investment thesis or is it time to add to a an existing half position?

Q: My margin account interest rate is currently at 7.90%. With recent increase of interest rate by BOC, the rate may go up by another 0.25%. Out of the 5 stocks I am holding in this account, only two (MPCT.UN and PEY) have dividend higher than the interest rates. Would you recommend any other Canadian stocks with high dividend/ yeild for margin account.

Q: Dividend yield for ENS is 10.10%. Lower than in the past but still very high. How can they pay out this much when ENB only pays 8.77%?

Would you be a buyer of ENS?

Thanks as always. Your advice is appreciated.

Q: If one trades a stock inside a registered account at a loss, does one still have to wait 30 days before buying back either inside or outside any account, registered or non-registered. Thanks

Q: I have been able to top up my TFSA accounts and now find I am sitting on about 40K in USD. I am looking for growth, preferably with a dividend, in a well managed and reliable company, or companies. I'm overweight in Tech & Utilities, OK in Finance, low in Energy, underweight in Industrial. A quick look at the US sectors has given me the feeling that now isn't the time to start with Staples, Health Care or Utilities and that there seems to be caution with respect to Energy. Materials and possibly Industrials, which has puzzled me, as I would think China reopening and the US's infrastructure spending would have helped the last three sectors mentioned. I welcome your thoughts, and any suggestions, as they are usually very insightful!

Q: My MO is to look at positive-earnings and earnings-growth stocks with price momentum in the past year that seem to be temporarily stalling in the previous month.

Any thoughts on TH, VIPS, or BTU?

Q: I see CSU plans to spin out another company on a roughly 3 for 1 basis. I previously received an odd lot of TOI which I bumped up to an even 100 shares (much less than a full position for me). I'd appreciate your thoughts on how an investor (who does not need cash for the foreseeable future) might want to handle this group of companies. Is there any reason to keep them all?

Thanks in advance...

Q: Hi, The press release from Constellation Software, Today, confirmed filing of prospectus and spin-out date/payment of a special dividend-in-kind of 3.0003833 Lumine Group subordinate voting shares, for each common share of CSU held as of the record date Feb 16, 2023. Payment of dividend is expected to be on or about Feb 23, 2023. Lumine Group common shares will be listed on TSX Venture Exchange and are expected to start trading 30 days after completion of the acquisition of WideOrbit.

Based on the information available publicly as well as in the prospectus about WideOrbit and Lumine Group, with respect to their combined revenue/income and expected growth, what would be a reasonable multiple and intrinsic value of the newly listed company's shares. Also, in your view, what could be the initial trading range of the stock ?

What will be total number of o/s shares and % of new co. CSU will own after the spin out ?

Do you think, Lumine could be another growth stock to own like Topicus, another mini- Constellation Software ?

Thank You

Q: Which would you prefer for a 5-year hold in a TFSA?
