Q: Norbord: Bought at $30 and have watched it tank day after day. Where does this stock have support? Is it still worth holding, in your opinion, or better to move on?
Q: Greetings:
I own both atrium and timbercreek,TMC and AI. They are in the same business, and although one always stands to be corrected, I believe Atrium is maybe managed a little better. In the most recent week ai has held firm and maybe a little up while tmc is hurting. Any ideas?, because interest rate movements and discussions should affect them equally.
Thanks, BEN
Q: I would like to hear your comments on CWX. It has been upgraded by some analysts today, and took a pretty big jump. Do you think it is still at a decent entry point, and what are your thoughts on the security of the dividend considering their last reporting. Thanks!
Q: Peter & Team, can you obtain any broker insights into 4% price rise in IPL today? Very big move for this stock and it is outperforming the sector today by about 4 times. Thank you, Keith
I have $55,000 in Bell Alliant(BA), $80,000 in B.C.E. and $30,000 in Telus which is approximately 8.5% of the equity portion of my portfolio . I will incur approximately a $10,000 capital gain if I sell Bell Alliant as opposed to exchanging shares for B.C.E. as per recent proposal. Alternatively, if I sold Bell Alliant, I could put the funds into Telus to provide more balance. What are your thoughts on this? Is 8.5% too high a concentration in telecommunications, given our present government's continuous threat to shakeup or shakedown the industry?
Q: Hi, Superior Plus shares have been week over past 2 weeks. Even on days when markets have been strong, like yesterday July 22, shares have drifted lower, now about $13.48 down from a high of $14.25. Do you see share price recovery in near term? What are your expectations of quarterly results due on Aug 6? Thanks
Q: Hi Peter, PJC.A; Jean Coutu has dropped quite steadily in the past 6 weeks. This stock has had a great multi-year run. Do you like it from here or do you expect more selling?
Q: We have been holding Bell Aliant for a number of years. What is your opinion on the current BCE offer for Bell Aliant? Will they be able to force it through at $31, or will they have to sweeten the offer?
Q: A&W Royalties Income Fund (AW.UN) reported results today. Overall, results appear positive. Payout ratio continues to be greater than 100%, although is moving down. Your thoughts please.
I hold a 1.5% position in Boralex. I realized when I took this position there was some debt on the books for BLX but didn't realize it was as high as it is. I have tried my best (but for the couple of small high risk positions) to ensure debt ratios were low for the majority of my positions.
How concerned should I be with the BLX debt level?
Q: Hi Peter and team. I trust you are getting better and better Peter. I own XTC, LNR and MG all around 2.6% to 3+% of a very well diversified PF thanks to you. Taxes are not a problem as I am in a low bracket for 2014. My XTC and LNR are down for me a bit. MG is up. I want to sell one of them and then buy more of AYA which I bought at $6.48 thanks to you - or SYZ which I own as well. Or I may buy new - QST, or CXR or PLI. I am doing this as an aggressive move for the next year or 2. Which should I sell? and then buy? I hope you are all having a very good summer and thanks for all you do!
