Investment Q&A

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

Q: In your response to Rajeev, you indicated that Superior now may not be able to increase it's divvy in the near future. Based on today's price decline, the current divvy looks pretty good for an income oriented investor. Do you consider the current dividend secure, and would you view Superior as a buy at the current price (with income being the primary objective)?

Q: Hi 5i Team;

I'm thinking of buying this because it has a high yield (6.86%). Would you recommend buying it or is there a better buy with this yield?

Thanks
Larry

Q: As a relative newcomer to this industry (fracing sand), and holding no stocks in this area, would now be a good time to step in given the recent pullback in share prices?

If the answer is "yes", would you have a preference for HCLP over EMES or SCLA, or would you advocate a basket approach and buy all 3?

Thanks for your guidance and help with this.

Q: Hello team -

I am a dividend growth investor. Although Agrium's actual dividend growth has been almost non-existant over the years, recently their increases have been quite impressive.

Are you aware of change in their dividend policy going forward? With a payout ratio of about 53% do you believe their dividend is sustainable in a volatile environment (they seemed to do okay in 2008-09). For a cyclical company, are you comfortable with their debt load and current ratio - 37.5% and 1.3 respectively.

Feel free to advise if any of my figures above are not correct.

Thanks for your opinion.

Q: I've held for a few yrs now: been going up like crazy: high debt., high PE, but high ROE of 108% (have they been buying back a lot of stock?). I've held as conservative play in my USD portfolio. Has it been going up because of dividend and considered safe play? I am thinking of selling at this price and holding the cash for an opportunity in the midst of this market correction?

Q: If/when interest rates rise, should one be getting out of this ETF?

Please forgive the naivety of this question, but I hear analysts blathering on at great length about the need to "get out" of bonds as the economy improves and it leaves me at a loss on how to deal with this in my portfolio.

I realize this is in your Income portfolio for its attractive yield, but was wondering if the forecasted interest rate rise does indeed begin soon, does the thesis of holding this for its yield still remain valid? Would not the falling market price then negate its dividend yield?

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
I need to consolidate my Utilities weighting in an otherwise diversified income portfolio. I need to keep 3 of the four listed, proceeds of the sale being re-invested into the residual holdings. Please rate these four against each other in terms of consideration of my preference for valuation and growth potential over an extended time frame of 5 years As always I appreciate your thoughts on this. Rick.

Q: Peter et al,
I have shares in Exco (XTC) which I bought two months ago. I am also interested in Evertz(ET). Would it be better to buy more XTC or should buy ET. Thanks in advance.
