Investment Q&A

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

Q: I'm keen to watch top managed companies in totally out of favor sectors, to buy when business conditions improve. I'm not looking for a relief rally on overlevered stocks for a short-term profit, but rather for stocks I can hold for a signifiant time as business conditions improve. BDI is one of the companies I'm interested in.
What would be the signs that BDI is a good "risk-return" story? What do I look for?

Q: I have managed my own registered portfolio for the past few years(with valuable input from 5i). I have sold my GTA house and will have this house money during a 2 year relocation period and then will likely be buying real estate again. Any advice for managing registered vs. non-registered investments during that time. Also, any allocation ideas related to type of stocks, fixed income or other investments keeping in mind the two-three year time frame with the new money. I currently have a registered portfolio with a number of dividend payers. Am i better to switch the registered funds too a more growth oriented approach and buy some utilities/banks/telcos in the non-registered.
Also, are Canadian based ETF's that hold non-Canadian stocks eligible for the dividend tax credit?
Thanks team

Q: I own these shares in my portfolio for some growth and income. FTS has dropped sharply in the past couple days, instead gaining because of the deals they have done. I like to have your opinion as to how safe they are? Would I be better of trading them for ETFs like ZUT and ZWU as they seem less volatile. Perhaps you can suggest alternatives. I would also like your view weather to buy ENB or ENF or another pipeline stock. I like the new format, my apologies for my previous comment of finding confusing.
Many thanks, J.A.P, Burlington

Q: I sold all my energy and pipeline positions in early 2015 and currently have no such holdings. I am considering slowly re-entering this space. Do you think it is a good entry point for Ala, ppl and ipl? Any addition, deletions and modification would be appreciated. I am not adverse to risk. Thanks for all the good advice past, present and future.
