Investment Q&A

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

Q: Why is my CBO 5 year laddered corporate bond ETF giving me a present yield of about 4%. The best 5 year corporate bond I can find available to me as a DYI investor on TDWH yields only about 2.5% at. Why the difference. Should I be worried. I am 57 years old and approaching retirement and feel the need for some fixed and CBO seems the option. What to do about the fixed income portion. Sometimes I think for the fixed income component it would be best just to stay in an investment savings account which pays 1.25% and eliminates the risk of loss of capital.

Q: I have owned WTE for a number of year and have more than a double. The experts have said it's overvalued for about 2 years but it has kept going up. It has recently dropped about 15%. Has there been some bad news or are the experts finally right. Unless there's a disaster I would plan to keep on holding for its stability of earnings and solid dividend with dividend grow in the future.

Q: Chesswood Group. (CHW) is down a lot today on heavy volume. It seems the CEO is selling a lot shares. Yet the earnings last week were good. Am I missing something but does this sell off represent a good buying opportunity .

Q: I am looking to add a renewable energy producer to my existing power producers (EMA and CPX). My main objective is income. What is your opinion of Transalta Renewables, RNW? Could you comment on their debt levels, dividend stability/payout and whether the association with Transalta is a positive or negative. They seem to have very long term existing PPAs. Do you think the extra dividend is worth holding RNW, or is Brookfield (BEP.UN) really a better choice?
Thanks
