Investment Q&A

Q: Hello I am looking for your general thoughts on the growing MJ industry. I had purchased the HMMJ etf at the start of it's trading debut and once I had doubled+ I sold off enough to cover my initial investment. I am now playing with the house's money so to speak. With a date set for legalization I think these companies will start to have more pressure to perform and make money. If this is the case do you think a serious drop in stock valuation will happen if and when these companies don't make expectations? If you were in my situation would you sell and look to put the profit to work elsewhere? If yes then any suggestions? Please assume I am well balanced in all accounts. Deduct as many question credits as you see fit. Thanks

Q: ALA> what are your thoughts ? some say buy, some say dont touch it , is the dividend safe? do you have a target ayear out? thx . Jack

Q: I have 4% position in NFI in my RRSP. The value has dimished by more than 15% since I added it to my portfolio and continue to decline almost everyday due to NAFTA related issue, I suppose. Would you suggest divesting at this juncture? Or should I buy and average it. Thanks for the advice

Q: Do you know the reason this stock has declined significantly in the past two days?

Q: Your thoughts on GE after today's announcement?
Thanks

Q: Ax.un is showing a little weakness. I see no specific news. Is it ok to buy for income?

Q: Recently NFI has shown weakness well beyond the norm. Has there been any news that might indicate the apparent flurry of selling? I am aware that some folks look to transport stock movements as a precursor of a potential weakening economy (the old saw about financial markets being a leading economic indicator). Thanks for all the help that you and fellow members provide me with. Bill

Q: good day i was thinking of purchasing NFI with the weak price performance What are your thoughts , i realize the tariff talk at the border may not be helping .Thank you so much

Q: TV is under $1.00! Your thoughts, buy?

Q: is it a good time to buy TSGI for a 2.5% position with this sudden drop or should we wait a bit for thing to settle

thank

Q: Hi, Stock price has dropped over $5 in past three days, since pricing was announced by the company, presently trading US$35 against the bought deal at US$38. I have a feeling that the precipitous drop is not just due general market pull back. Company also announced a $750 mln Bond offering on Monday. Underwriters/investors who bought 25 million shares are already under water, so who is selling and why ? Do you suggest any action in the near term ? I guess, many of 5i members already have partial or full position at higher prices by now. Thanks

Q: Should I average down on ECN.PR. A . Already have a large position 13%. I also hold position in ECN 3%

Q: Is the drop on these two companies over done???
What is your assessment for the future?

Q: Aside from cash and gold, what do you recommend as defence while the current imbroglio plays out? I am not looking for inverse ETFs or anything like that, just the sort of thing that does a bit better in a potentially tumultuous environment but that can also be a longer term hold. Defensive yes, but no defence sector please. I am looking for individual stocks or general sectoral recommendations. Thank-you.

Q: For an income porfolio (like 5iR's), I am thinking of buying CAR.Un and IIP.un for a long-term hold/investment. I know 5iR held CAR,un and am familiar with the differences between these two RIETs (thanks to the question/answers by 5iR). I would like to buy both as a combo. My question is what weighting would you give to a combination of these two?.....Like 4 or 5%?........And what would be the split be? ....like 50%-50% ?.....Thanks.....Tom

Q: Good day team, with LNR testing 52 week lows, is it time to start a position or is more downside likely. I know MG is the better of the two but for value picking I'm thinking LNR

Q: I have cash in the US side of my TD RRSP.I would like to convert it to Can$,staying in my RRSP,so that I can buy some oil stocks that don’t trade in the US.
As recommended in Norbert’s gambit,should I buy and then sell ”DLR.u/DLR”to accomplish this?

Q: Hello 5i, I own LEAF, and in the near future it is converting to ACB, .. would you suggest here to BUY, SALE, or HOLD ?, also I do not understand why ACB wants to give me some Australis stocks for free, what is the catch?
Thank you!

Q: Your thoughts about ET after earnings release and is the dividend safe here?
Would you buy it now?
Tell us some about their metrics here.
Also any thoughts about prospects in the future...is this a company that is looking at the future with potential.
I keep hearing that it might be taken over,so which company could be a good candidate to take them out?

Q: Hi, I am a dividend growth investor and looking to build a stream om passive income through dividends. I am 40 and have a long horizon (20+ yrs) so I'm not so worried about current income as I am about future dividend income and total return. I invest a part of my income every month. My current portfolio consists of mainly large cap dividend growth stocks in diversified industries in Canada, US and Europe. Mastercard and Visa look like great companies to me, high ROIC, high growth on all fronts, favorable developments that will benefit their business etc. They would also complement my portfolio well as I have no holdings from that industry yet. The only thing I am concerned about is their high valuations at this point.
So my question is, is this a good time to add MA (and perhaps V) to my portfolio? Or is it wise to wait for a pull back? Do you have a price point for entry? Your advice is appreciated.
