Investment Q&A

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

Q: Could you explain exactly what these two ETFs invest in? On their respective websites it appears as if ZFH is largely in government bonds or treasuries of some type (the scary term CDS shows up here), while MFT refers to "bank loans". Both indicate low to moderate risk, while at the same time showing virtually all investments rated at BB or less - below investment grade.
How do these ETFs compare to ZHY or XHY in terms of safety of principle and dividend sustainability?
Thank-you

Q: Hi Team,
Rogers Sugars stock is falling more than 10% today. I am following it as a possible defensive income stock to add to my portfolio ... Is it a good time to buy the stock?
What is your evaluation of the stock as of today and your explanations on the reasons behind today's big drop.

Thank you.

Michel

Q: A follow up to my question earlier today. I am assuming that the shorts are betting on the inability of the company to successfully cope with a higher churn rate. Do you agree? If not, why is the stock being shorted? What are your thoughts regarding the management team and the business model. Do you see tangible signs that the company is , and will be able to continue, coping with a higher churn rate?

Q: Lawrence Solomon's column in the Friday edition of the Financial Post clearly implies that solar and wind energy production in Germany is dying rapidly and he warns Canada about the dangers of this type of renewable power. May I please have your assessment of these sources of energy as they relate to Canada? What implications would this have for Brookfield renewable and Algonquin?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: I hold ENF for income. I was thinking of switching to ENB for a better growth component now the yield gap has closed, but I read that funding of capex could become a problem for ENB. You recently said ENB was safer than ENF. I am wondering why since ENF has essentially no debt and no capex beyond funding the ENB dropdowns.
