Investment Q&A

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

Q: My 100 year old father has a few dividend paying stocks but most of his portfolio is in GIC’s. One GIC just expired and I am looking to buy something new for him. I find that a one year renewal will only achieve a 1.4% interest. He will not need money from this source for about 5 years thus can invest in anything fairly safe. The only issue is death which I believe would result in selling to satisfy estate requirements. I was thinking of banks, pipelines, etc because of limited downside and relatively high dividend rates compared to GIC’s. Can you please comment and provide some suggestions? Thank you. As always I very much value your comments.

Q: I am considering buying Kinder Morgan KMI-N. Seeking Alpha has some interesting & controversial information about the Barron's article & insider buying following the publication. In doing some stock chart overlays KMI-N against WMB-N,SE-N,PAA-N,ENB-N,TRP-N,I find the yield & price discrepancy rather compelling. Your comments greatly appreciated. Ken

Q: hi gang
I am looking to take a position in SDRL. What are your thoughts on this stock? Is the dividend sustainable? Am I better to buy an ETF like Ishares MSCI (ENOR?

Q: Essential Energy Services, ESN reported yesterday. Earnings per share missed estimates by 1 penny for the year. I hold this stock for the 4.5% dividend yield and expected 5 to 10% capital appreciation over the next two to three years. The balance sheet appears to be very strong and I assess the downside risk over the two to three years to be minimal. I would appreciate your assessment of my reasoning. Thanks for your help.

Q: I would like to know your assessment of the Coxe Global Agribusiness Income Fund. I am also puzzled about the statement that it is a "non redeemable"investment fund.What does that mean? The yield seems quite good. Should a senior be investing there? Thank you.
