Investment Q&A

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

Q: G&M reporting that the Pres and CEO of Alta Gas sold 22,750 shares on Oct 9 @$21.01
This brought his total ownership down to under 3,000 shares. This should not be legal, given the forthcoming results. Can the OSC not do anything about this?
P.S. Not a case of sour grapes here. I was not a player of ALA. I just find the company's behavior, and this insider sell in particular, inexcusable. How can this sort of thing foster public confidence in our market?

Q: Here's another question on Altagas. On the CC, management indicated that they are going to re-evaluate the proper dividend rate (payout ratio) for the company given the new mix of assets. I'm assuming this is code for "we're cutting the dividend". Your thoughts?

Thanks,
Peter

Q: Do you see a risk to BCE's dividend? Could a company like BCE cut their dividend and go to the bond market to lower their cost of capital? Also, BCE has made extensive capital investment over the last 5 or six years. How long would BCE management expect to wait to get a return on the companies investment?

Q: Further to my previous question on ACI, as the company holds Cdn drop down pipeline assets of ALA would you generally view the dividend as more secure than ALA’s? Also, how would you compare ACI vs RNW in terms of dividend security and growth profile as both are Cdn drop down companies. Which is more attractive? Thanks.

Q: The stock price of EMA has fallen from $50 to below $40 over the past 12 months. What do you think is the reason for that?
Secondly, as an income investor, the current yield of 5.84% dividend is very enticing. Or, is such a high dividend a red flag in this case? Is it sustainable?
What is your advice on purchasing this stock at the present time?
