Investment Q&A

Q: May I please have your thoughs on today's selloff, and its sizable decline since its February highs. I realize it has been a victim of the Trump tariff talks, but is there any real concern here for a long-term investor? I was thinking of adding to my position since it has fallen to 2.8% of my portfolio, or would it be advisable to allocate new funds elsewhere?

Q: I bought Polaris Infrastructure recently recently and am curious about it's history.
In 2015 the stock traded for about 6800.00 if google finance is correct. A stock split in 2005 of 1:2000. Working it's way down to 800.00 in 2011 then 10.00 in 2015 and now at 20.00 after a gradual climb. Please describe what you know about what looks to my eyes like a strange history. Please talk about the management as well.

Q: I have reviewed prior question responses on PMIF and PMO005. I understand that both should behave similarly (PMIF should have higher return longterm due to lower MER). My question is on the distribution. The distribution yield on PMO005 is about 3-3.5% it appears; the distribution yield on PMIF appears to be smaller and with variations in the distribution from month to month. Do you think this is temporary, as PMIF is relatively new? Do you think overtime, the distributions of PMIF will stabilize and approximate those of PMO005 with a similar yield? If not, why not, if the portfolio composition is the same in each case?

My feeling is that PMIF is 'safer' than high yield bonds such as XHY and preferred shares such as CPD/ZPR, do you agree? I hope to pair this with some VSB as my fixed income allocation. Do you think PMIF is worth the MER of 0.87%? This is for longterm, all-weather hold (irrespective of where interest rates go in the near-term/longterm) for consistent income.

Thank you!

Q: Hello,
Why would LIF announce a shareholders rights plan just after their tentative agreement was rejected by union members? Doesn't the timing of this seem unusual? Should we read anything into this or something that was likely in the works for a long time?

Q: May I have your view on Information Services and their recent contracts in the Yukon, Ireland and Nova Scotia.

Q: Hi are Dr ,kwh.un and HR.UN safe to add to at todays levels which ones would you top up first

Q: I have a question about 985
If sector is not an issue, would you replace BPY.UN which i’am down 12% with CPX? This would be for a 3+ year hold with income and stability a priority.
Or could you suggest a better alternative to BPY?
Thanks
