Investment Q&A

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

Q: Soooo many questions regarding bonds ... not surprising when so many of us have enjoyed the "safe" dividends.

My question: given the concerns regarding bonds in general in a rising rate environment, would you recommend this as good time to add XRB or a similar/better product to the fixed income portion of one's portfolio?

Thanks for your guidance here.

Q: I picked up some AC in the spring with the intention to hold into the new year. The stock and the sector seem to be on a roll at the moment and really started to lift when Buffet bought into the sector. Buffet is anything but fly by night so I am thinking of holding a little longer. What is the street calling for on Air Canada? Could you give me some price targets? Could you also comment on the Buffet purchase and what it is that he might be seeing?

Q: I'm helping my daughter (mid-20s) manage her TFSA, which is her only portfolio. Currently, it consists of IPL 30%, TOY 28% , SIS 18% and KXS 23%. She’s wants to keep TOY, SIS and KXS, but is thinking of selling IPL. She is more interested in growth stocks. Do you consider selling IPL a good move or is it best to keep it; and, can you suggest 2-3 other stocks to add to round things out, given the other holdings. She's looking at a minimum 3-5 year timeframe.

Q: I have Enbridge in my portfolio and have received notice of a special meeting pertaining to the merger with Spectra that involves the issuance of shares to Spectra holders at just below par to facilitate the process. The literature is rather bulky and I am not sure I really understand it. Is this a good proposal for shareholders and should I support it? This kind of change makes me nervous. Is it a really good idea almost certain to benefit the merged entity, or is it time to exit from Enbridge to be safe?
