Investment Q&A

Q: I am looking to add a growth stock to my TFSA. I was looking ITC as a possible candidate but I noticed quite a bit of insider selling in November last year. My overall portfolio is reasonably well balanced. Do you still like it or do you currently favour something else?

As said many times before, thanks for your great service.

Q: Would you endorse cara operations as a buy after their earnings release?

Q: If these inverse ETFS deteriorate in value over time, could I not capitalize on this by shorting the them? If I shorted both HOU and HOD would that not nullify the underlying volatility and just let me benefit from the decay in value?

Many thanks,

Also at what monetary value would you add additional holdings or would you just rebalance your winners? Example $$50,000 5 stocks, $100,000 8 stocks?
Please deduct as many credits as you see fit.

Q (Private): H2O Innovation has been trading in the 1.60-1.80 range for about 3 months, what is your opinion of what would drive this company share price higher or is it fully valued here?

Thank you in advance.

This question is private. Only you can view the question & answer.
5i Research Answer:

Looking through the recent numbers we would consider them good. The revenue growth is impressive, and cash flow growth was very good. Earnings were impacted by charges but we would consider cash flow more relevant here. We like the growth in recurring revenue and the backlog. The size difference makes a comparison with PUR difficult, but HEO certainly has some positive qualities, including a strong balance sheet, insider buying and nice growth.

We think the company needs to simply continue what it is doing, grow the top line, sign new contracts and continue to deliver on results. The shares are not cheap given the size of the company, so it is a name that may require a bit of time for the fundamentals to catch up to the valuation.

Q: This morning DHX.B price dropped 3.8% at market opening. I don't see any news. What happened? Is there any hope for a recovery in the stock price in 2017?

Q: Good Morning
Do you have any insight in the spike of volume in Sylogist today? It has been extremely week in 2017

Q: Can you give me your thoughts on Parklands just released Q4 report. While they seem to rave about the increase in cash flow, in fact it went down by a penny on a per share basis and they gave a very small increase in the dividend this year. I am holding on hoping that the big acquisition that will close in Q2 2017 will give a big boost to cash flow. Your thoughts please on both the earnings and the acquisition...

Q: Could you tell me what the AFFO in 2015 was and what the estimate is for 2016 and 2017.
