Investment Q&A

Q: will dividend continue until takeover is completed & when is completion expected thanks

Q: ABT: recommended in latest 5i email: I read the description of it's business and it was like reading a foreign language - I am not a technology person at all and do not buy companies I do not understand; so, please educate me.TTM PE 23, FPE 270, make no or very little money, ROE 0, CF .23, and pays a healthy dividend. I currently hold no technology other than DH if it qualifies?

Q: Today Enbridge Inc. (ENB) announced they are purchasing Spectra Energy Corp (SE) in an all stock deal.

I own Enbridge in my non-registered account (in order to take advantage of Canadian Dividend Tax Credit) and I own Spectra in my US $ RRSP (in order to minimize taxes on US dividends which are treated like interest income).

I want to participate in both the Canadian and US energy infrastructure (pipeline, midstream processing) market.

My question is what can I replace Spectra Energy in my RRSP with? I own Kinder Morgan (underwater), Oneok (above water) and recently sold off Williams (too much drama) in the RRSP account.

Am I better off to sell Spectra now or wait for the Enbridge merger and then sell off the Enbridge or even keep Enbridge in my RRSP as a US holding. Or do I increase my holding(s) in Kinder Morgan or Oneok?

Thanks for the excellent service.

Q: What is your current comfort level with DCI? Results seem to keep the stock in its 12-14 dollar range. I use the high dividend to balance out my other income stocks such as Adw.a, Zcl, sis, Syz, etc..... How does the business look to you?

Thanks,

Robert

Q: What sort of fixed income do you recommend for a portfolio? With so many options, I have no idea which to choose. Where do I begin in making these decisions? Thank you.

Q: I bought this one (BIP.UN) in Feb. with an ACB of $31.00 and now it is over $60.00: 3 for 2 unit split soon - is this the reason for the big increase in share price recently & should I keep - I own 1000 shares which equals a very small position in my portfolio.

Q: Alaris has dropped over 30% in just 2 months! I am aware of their problems with the medical partner as well as the other 2 smaller hick-ups however their must be more, much more to cause this much panic in the stock. Do you know the rationale?
Thank you.

Q: Any thoughts on the recent news release from Alterra doing a 10 for 1 split and issuing a dividend. I own a small amount just wondering if it is worth picking up a few more before the split.

Thanks........

Q: How would you characterize Dream Unlimited and would you think it would be better to invest directly in a REIT or renewable energy opco instead (focus, transparency, dividend)? Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter,why are you warming up to absolute software?did their last quarter looked that good?
Would you prefer ABT over ET?
Could ABT be a takeover target as well?

Q: Have you any news on NPI to account for the volume and drop in NPI? Thanks. Rod

Q: I am wondering if the general share price trajectory for this fund will basically follow high yield indices rather than equity indices? Can this be viewed as a kind of junk bond fund? How sensitive to a rise in interest rates would this be? Trying to understand how this will move in the future, thanks.

Q: Can you explain the current weakness? THX

Q: I hold small positions in AD and CHE.UN and have some cash to invest to generate income as I am a retired investor. Which of these two companies would be the best or do you have another company with similar yield that you like better? Is this a good time to put extra cash to work or should one wait? I am not a fan of trying to "time" the market but do like to try to preserve my capital.
Thank you.

Q: what high yield dividend stocks would you recommend buying

Q: Peter - would be great to hear about your thoughts on emera. As the FED looks to move over the next few months where could this take the emera stock price. I've had some reasonable gains and wonder if I should take profit and run. thx Steve

Q: Hi Peter
Recently I bought Polaris Inf. and it up 60% now. should I sell it now or wait for some time? please advise
Thank you

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,

CLF offers a better rate of return than GICs, about 3% from what I can determine. What are the risks of parking a lot of cash in that ETF, more than 100 000$?

Thanks for the great service.

Q: Please comment on Grenville latest eps and outlook. Thanks

Q: I have 73 % of my investment portfolio in stocks. I'm 80+ years of age and have not need for income from the portfolio; it will be transferred to a future generation. My advisor recommends reducing the stock component to 60 %. He suggests purchasing large amounts of Manulife Global Tactical Credit Fund & Manulife Asia Total Return Bond Fund. Please provide me with a critical review of those funds. Do you have other suggestions in the fixed income area?
