Q: Scanning the news and reading your blog post, I can't find any mention of the "foreshadowed" change to tax rates for capital gains and/or dividends. Did I miss something?
Q: In reviewing my portfolios, I have a separate alert system based on daily volume percentages. I was alerted on GSY as recently certain daily volumes have been very low - like today, less than 5000 shares traded. This is not a good sign but, thought I would check with the Oracle before selling!!
Q: Good morning. A few weeks ago, I took half positions in both AYA and ACQ following your recommendations. Would now be a good time to take either, or both, to full positions? Thank you for your time!
Q: What do you think of Boyd's quarterly performance? Is it a buy at this stage or you think it is expensive? If I remember correctly, it used to be in the 5i portfolio some time back?
Q: Hello 5i team,
If it is in your mandate, I would appreciate some precision on the options strategy that you proposed. I Have been using it and doing quite well. Recently my option for Calm was assigned at $52.50. The price today is about $51.50, or so. I notice that the price swings of Calm can be quite large. So, my question is whether I should wait for one of these swings, letting it go to say, $49 or $48 before buying again and selling an option? or, would I be better to simply buy when the option is assigned and start all over again, not waiting for the fall in price?
thanks
Q: The stock will get hammered today. With the CEO, with full board support, denying any wrong doing and previously indicating his interest in taking the company private, will this present a buying opportunity? Is the likelihood of CEO making an offer greater now with this issue?
Q: RBC and a number of the other banks have recently issued preferred shares(series BM ?) where the dividend rate will reset every five years at a rate equal to 4.80 per cent over the 5-year Government of Canada bond yield. Do you think these are a good buy for income and safety? If yes are they available now and what is the symbol of the Royal Bank version ? Thanks Ken
Q: Hi, could you please comment on Boyd Group earnings released this morning? Looks like company beat on revenue and EBITDA and just met the earning estimates. Did you note the FX impact on earnings/revenue? Company is projecting to double its revenue over next 5 Years. How do you relate this expected future growth to today's valuation ? Thanks for your valued insight, as always.
Q: Further to Charlie's question, does this US acquisition spree and it's debt, change your view on the quality of Fortis preferred shares.
Would you own them for income?
