Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have held GWO as a reliable dividend stock for several decades and it has never cut its divvy and on several occasions has raised it. At a yield of over 8% is it signalling trouble ahead? How bad and for what reasons would the dividend be cut? 8% is very tempting but lessons learned in the past have taught me that chasing yield is never a good idea. Thanks Ron

Q: It is a core holding in my portfolio. It's not behaving well lately. Does it have a disproportionate representation of risk assets of today like real estate or hotels to cause such a significant downturn? What is causing the drop?

Q: My timing in purchasing was terrible, and now I am just watching my investment lose value every day. Should one expect a timely turnaround here ? I fear Tyson’s mega chicken plant in Sioux City will have the same issues as the Waterloo pork facility ... I feel like I am waiting for more bad news to murder my investment ,.. please advise .

Q: HI Team
I see that Auspice has warned investors about buying this unit, since it winds up may 22 and it is trading way above it's net asset value, trading about $5 and net asset value about $ 2.50, would not shorting the stock at this price be a good move. I understand it is a gamble, but as long as oil dosn't move up in a big way, it's a "sure bet"
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

I have about 30k in some terrible mutual funds (don’t ask) but would like to keep it simple and put this into one ETF without concern to sectors or risk. I know they are very new but are you able to comment on DXN or DXW? I’m also looking as DXG and DXF. And an advisor recommended moving some money into DYN800 – is there any good reason for an investor to put money into this fund? Please take as many credits as you see fit.

Thanks for this great service.
John

Q: Whenever we recover from the current Covid-19 crisis, and business starts to return to some semblance of normal, how much growth do you see in
- New Store Openings for CTC's various retail franchises?
- In growing the membership in Triangle credit cards?
- In growth in sales through e-Commerce?
Collectively, does the growth potential post-Covid 19 look sizeable, or do you see CTC as pretty much a low-growth business?
Thank you.
Edward

Q: I have positions in both companies in my TFSA. With the turmoil in the oil industry, the damage to oil companies and the likelihood that it will continue for a while, I have been thinking about selling QST and buying more XBC. Individual stock weightings is not an issue. Your thoughts ?
