Investment Q&A

Q: Could you kindly review RBA for me? Are we nearing a breakout, or when would be best to add to my position?

Q: There is consistent insider buying in CBL but it seems to be pretty much limited, at least very recently, to two parties: Joseph Lewis and Braslyn Ltd. Do you know if Braslyn is controlled by Lewis (the purchases seem to mirror each other)?
Is there anything to infer from this other than a positive outlook from at least one insider?

Q: I want to boost my income in my RRSP from MLP's would it be better to use an ETF such as AMZA or CEF such as FMO or KYN for 5 year hold or longer. Is theer any holding tax on any of the three?
Thank You
Cec.

Q: Please explain the difference between ENB and ENF.
Thanks for your ongoing excellent service.

Q: I have a question about FIH.UN

For weeks there seems to be a large seller that trips any momentum the shares develop. Is there a short position developing or any indication of an institution selling.
A recent notice of a shelf prospective is the only other explanation in my view. Some indication in the prospectus that the funds could be used to purchase shares of large sellers.
Could be that shareholders are worried about dilution.
Can you determine which of the above might explain the negative momentum.
What would you estimate fair value to be.

YOU HAVE NOT ADJUSTED THE EXPIRY DATE AFTER MY LAST RENEWAL

Q: I currently hold a 3% position on the baby, and has dropped to 2% in my RRSP. I am seriously question where this is going, have you any concerns, should I be seriously considering taking a loss and stepping out.
Your candid comments are appreciated.

Q: What is your opinion of this company? Is it a buy?

Q: Hi 5i team,
If I buy shares in a dividend paying stock the day before the dividend pay date, would I still get paid the dividend, or is there a minimum amount of time you need to own shares before you get paid the dividend?
Thumbs up on the new website!

Q: I remember, maybe 5 years ago or so Peter recomended First Service corp because it had initiated a divident, he suggested the initation of a dividend was one of the better buy signals. It made sense to me and i bought the shares at that time, and it has been a great investment

Two part question
1. Please share your thoughts on div initiation as a buy signal
2. Please share a couple of tickers that have recently initiated a dividend and could be bought today

Thanks

Q: Hi team,
CPX appears to be a great company but technically never been able to break out above $25 to $26 dollar range.
Can we expect anything different?
Thanks for your reply.

Q: Would you prefer the Pimco Monthly Income Fund (ETF version) or the PH&N Total Return Bond Fund as a satellite holding to an existing fixed income allocation composed of VAB, CBO, XIG (30% each), and XHY (10%)? Thank-you.

Q: I have owned RNW for a couple of years now, primarily for income from its healthy dividend. Also own AQN, FTS, NPI and BEP.UN in the utilities sector. I'm still ahead on RNW by about 18% despite the recent price drop, but wonder if the stock simply has too many issues these days. This includes the suggested lack of future growth, an apparent problem in Australia, and potential issues with its parent company TA. Is it maybe time to sell?

Q: Do you when this preferred share is going to begin trading?

Q: Further to a question asked by Clarence this morning I too am reaching for dividend income. Would you consider any of these high dividend paying companies an unacceptable risk today? I guess in terms of capital loss or dividend cuts? Understanding that obviously things could change in the future.

Q: Hello Peter,
I hold a balanced total portfolio across my TFSA, RRSP and non-registered accounts. I keep my highest dividend payers in my non-registered and currently have them on DRIPs. Are there any of theese that you don't think should be on DRIP because they are too risky?

Q: Hi Team,

I'm looking to park some cash in a no risk investment. Funds that are earmarked for use in 1-2 years. Where is my best return these days?

Thanks!

Q: I currently hold ZCL in my RIF. I am thinking about replacing it with ALA in order to realize a higher dividend and better growth prospects. Can I have your thoughts please? Thank you. Jim.

Q: How secure is their dividend? If I'm reading financials correctly they are paying out 158%?!
Nor can I find any history of their dividends on their website or annual report.
