Investment Q&A

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

Q: ATP just released quarterly results. Management seems positive, but results look mixed. Good EBITDA improvement, but, not so with cash flow. However, it looks like they have cash on hand of more than $1 per share. This has been my worst performer in a long time. My cost is $12 per share. Would you hold on geven where they are today?

Q: Preferred share etf's such as CPD are dropping rapidly over the last few days. Are they more likely than not to continue to fall? Is it time to bail, take a loss, and invest in dividend paying common stocks instead? I have about 10% of my non-registered portfolio in Prefs. Thanks for any thoughts you may have.

Q: Not a question - just a comment from someone last week with regard to IPL.UN - ie: no listing of Officers /Directors holding common shares. There are no shares per se as this entity was structured as a Limited Partnership. A change is being made, almost immediately to convert to a corporation. meeting is scheduled

Q: I always like to check insider holdings to support a decision to buy/sell/hold a stock. IPL.UN according to INK Research shows no common shares held by officers or directors. The holdings fall under Class A Preferred Shares, Deferred Unit Right, Class B Preferred Shares, Limited Partnership Units, Class A Deferred Unit Right and Unit Appreciation Right. Does this imply anything regarding the executive feeling toward the future of the company? Why would they avoid common shares?

Thanks

Q: I currently have no direct holdings whatsoever in either the Canadian REIT or Utility sectors (other than a large index position via XIU). What would be your top 1 or 2 names in each of these sectors suitable for new buying right now? Rather than holding just 1 or 2 names would a sector ETF be more advisable and if so which ETFs for each would you recommend? Thanks and great service.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
My question is about the impact on equity valuation of the rise in treasury yield. In Today's Post, David Rosenberg opined that 10 year treasury may rise to 4% and recommends favoring companies that have exposure to hard assets, high fixed costs/low variable costs, high ratio of capital to labor and proven pricing power that protects margins. It appears that utilities and REITs have most of these attributes and yet are the most sensitive to the rise in interest rate. What am I not understanding? Please help.
Regards,
Danny
