Investment Q&A

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

Q: K-Bro is near an 18 month low. The dividend is now 3% and I'm tempted to buy it as a long-term hold for relative safety and some income. (I'm content with 5 or 6 percent long-term annually.) But I'm a bit concerned about the 'falling knife'. I've read your recent comments on the company. Are you aware of any new or more serious concerns to explain the drops? Do you suggest I wait, or is this as good a time as any to buy? Thanks!

Q: This company is getting no respect of late. I thought that opening the TSX this morning would have provided some momentum, which it did to the downside.
Would you consider this a good buying opportunity now that it has a 6 handle or do you think it will languish here indefinitely until a major acquisition occurs. What percentage of a portfolio should this be for an aggressive investor?

Thanks Peter

Cheers

Q: hello 5i:
could you please comment (generally) on the new preferred shares being offered by BEP.UN. Can I purchase these through my online broker ie BMO Investorline or Scotia iTrade? How would these preferreds compare to others being offered at the moment? The reset, pegged to Canadian Treasuries seems like good protection for the investor: is it? Would these be acceptable as the fixed income portion of a diversified portfolio for someone who is (becoming) more risk averse? Held in a TFSA, is the interest taxable or not?
thanks
