Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi team, this may be a fundamental question, but why when a company announces a share buyback, which you would think be a good thing does the stock get slammed. This seems to have just happened to JE Just Energy, even after a dividend cut. Won't a reduction in shares outstanding provided the existing shareholder with a bit of stability in the share price?

Q: FC- Firm Capital. Given that I am a dividend hunter looking also for the security of my investments, would you consider this to a worthy holding?
Would this stock benefit or be hurt by interest rate increases?

I like the dividend and long term price trend, but am a bit concerned about the p/e multiple.

Thanks again.

Q: I know you don't cover Inter Pipeline but I'm hoping to get your opinion on the stock. I bought it a short time ago and it is down about 6% since. Is there something happening I don't know about? Thank you Dave

Q: Currently, the oil patch future in Canada is largely predicated on the availability of more pipeline transportation. In this regard, is it a safe bet to invest in ENB,TRP and, to a lesser degree, in IPL.UN ? If so, which one is more promising, and why ? In addition, do you think that approval of the Keystone pipeline is a sure bet (likely to be announced in late March) ?

Q: Hello Peter, can I get your opinion on the likelyhood of inflation rising significantly over the next year or two? Do you have any suggestions on what to invest in during a high inflation period and any stocks that you would recommend during such a period? I am specifically looking at Bei.un, but it looks like I might have missed that opportunity. Any sectors you would recommend staying away from? TIA, Gerald

Q: I am somewhat confused by your A rating for BEP.UN. I undertand it is a solid, safe company with a reasonable distribution. Using your charts, you show it as having had a 4.0% gain and producing a 4.0% yield.However, when I compare it with the other A and A- stocks from your ratings that I also own (BAD, BYD.UN, CSU, ESL, and STN) it is substantially inferior on a relative basis. That being so, why does it have the same rating as those stocks. I am going to select the private option, but if you think it would be useful for othes to see your answer, feel free to make your answer public.

Q: I am interested in your thoughts on the Horizons Floating Rate Bond ETF (HFR). Is it a good place to park some cash for a six month holding period, how sustainable is the yield if bond prices go down, do you consider the .4% management fee reasonable. Thanks, Chuck
