Investment Q&A

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

Q: Re your response to Warren on the convertible debetnures.

If the conversion is $10.60, that offers a discount not premium to current market price of $11.50. It should probably sell at a premium to par once trading.

Q: HellO and a question re the overall Global market condition.
It would appear we are in a Bear market with no bottom in site yet. What strong Canadian areas in the Utilities, Consumer and Industrial areas would you suggest one parks some money currently. It does appear money is rotating to these areas out of the more risky areas to safety. Thank you for your insight.

Q: Good afternoon

Could you please provide your best ideas for 6 Canadian companies with solid and growing dividends (preferably yielding in excess of 3% today) that I would be appropiate to stick into a non-registered account for at least the next 5-10 years.

Thanks as always

Q: I have a few shares of this stock, have not seen any negative news to cause it to go down so steeply. Would you happen to have access to details I may not have access to that would explain the downturn? Many thanks, Helen

Q: I would like to replace the dividend income I have been receiving from CSE. Once the sale goes through, I was thinking about acquiring AltaGas for income. What is your current opinion on ALA. Do you have other suggestions?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
TA has bounced over 40% off a new low in the past few weeks. Is there any new news to warrant this or is it just a typical bounce off the bottom. Any reason to think it might go higher or would a smart investor sell into the rally and find better odds elsewhere?
Thanks again!
Respectfully...

Q: My question concerns how significant a role Reits should play in an income producing portfolio. You mentioned in an answer to a members earlier question on Jan 27th that Reits and high yield stocks can still have a high degree of correlation. I look at dividend growers more so than high yields.

Also Please rank for long term holds your weighting preference in an income portolio for financials, telcos, utilities and reits. ( also any that I have missed.)

Many thanks

Q: See Exco sold off substantially here on Friday, I guess market didn't like the flat sales once currency was backed out this quarter. Good opportunity to pick up some shares here? Appreciate your insight.

Q: So in mid 2013 I bought 500 shares of this at $18.50 a share. Wanting to protect my gains, I got stopped out of half my position in Jan at $38.50. Of coarse its now over $44 and is a media darling with a Globe investor 5 star rating, a favorite of Gordon Pape's newsletter and yours. I think it is ahead of its self and I want to know if you think its still good value and if further profit taking is prudent or if I should average up here. It's only a 1.25% holding for me now. I am wondering why the PE is showing a whopping 262? Thanks

Q: In my overall portfolio covering all sectors, I had 4 equally weighted stocks in the industrial sector (BIN, CP, WSP and STN), but recently sold BIN. I'm considering selling CP as well and adding one or two other industrials to go with WSP and STN for a longer term hold. What do you think of this approach, and are there a couple of stocks in this sector you would recommend, in order of preference? Thanks
