Investment Q&A

Q: Good Morning,

I Hold CJR.B,CHE.UN,PZA, and BAM.A and each has weight of 5% in my portfolio. Which one of these are interest sensitive and should I continue to hold them or which one should I get rid?

Except for PZA I am all under water in each one of them. PZA has been going down since the bought deal. Usually a bought deal is there to buy another company and not for operational purposes since it dilutes the share earnings. What do you think this bought deal will be use for?

Q: CNR appears to be trading at a discount price. Do you agree? What would you think of me adding this stock to my portfolio that more or less replicates your balanced equity portfolio? If I were to replace one of your suggested stocks for CNR which one would you recommend I change? Also can you comment on holding railway stocks in general now and if Canadian Pacific would be a better pick than CNR. Thanks for all you do. You are awesome!

Q: In reference to another member's question from earlier today, isn't it likely that there will be no Grexit and that the EU will simply force a Cyprus-style bail-in of the Greek banks and country? If so, I'd expect to see very little contagion but I would be highly concerned if a citizen of Greece or any other financially "borderline" EU state.

Post at your own discretion, of course.

Q: I believe we are on the cusp of a technology super cycle - vehicles/homes/workplace. What are some companies poistioned to benefit from this cycle?

Q: Hey Peter & Team,

This one has me a little confused. I am in at a little over $2.00. Was excited when the news surfaced about the Harvest takeover for $5.00. Saw the jump and watched the stock as it understandably hovered around the $4.80 to $4.85 mark and assumed this is where it would sit until the deal was done and I received the $5.00/share as per the deal.

Now in the past week or so it has dropped almost 11% to $4.35.

Can you please explain why the share price has dropped so low considering there is a done deal at $5.00/share...

Also, what advice you can give moving forward re when this deal will complete and as a shareholder what I should do in the meantime...

And am I correct to expect I will eventually receive $5 per share.

Thanks for all you do

Q: I need a transportation company in my balanced portfolio and was wondering which company you would choose today and why. Is there any other "transport" company you would choose instead of these 2 companies if you had a choice?

Thanks!!

Q: As a follow up to the answer you gave Donald today regarding companies that may be benefit from Europe infrastructure spending, you may wish to consider IBI group on the TSX-- ticker IBG. A risky play given its recent financial difficulties but they may be turning the corner this year. Tons of upside.

Q: A couple weeks ago I bought half of a planned 2% of portfolio position in POT, at a bit above $39. Hoped to buy the other half a little lower, but it has fallen more than I expected and I have not bid further. Would you suggest adding the other 1% at current prices, or just stay at 1% for now? This is being bought for sector diversification and income. How secure is the dividend?

Thank-you
