Investment Q&A

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

Q: In 2011, I purchased 2000 shares of CCO for growth in my RRSP prior to the collapse of uranium prices. CCO has recovered a bit but I am still down 33%. I am toying with selling now, absorbing the loss, and redeploying the approx. $42K to higher-yielding stocks like FRU or AW.UN with potentially better medium-term growth prospects. Now retired, I want more income and think CCO is dead money, at least for the next few years.
I would welcome your opinion on this approach.

Q: Hello, I have had a half position in BAM for two years now and have been reluctant to increase it to a full position. One year ago it was up 13% and YTD 2014 it is up 36%. My question is has someting changed to cause the increased return or will it likely revert back to a steady eddie 13% annual return?
Thanks as always
Dave

Q: What exactly qualifies as order backlog? Is this considered contracted projects with a high level of certainty that revenue will follow within a certain time frame? Also, can a growing backlog signal issues with a company that they are failing to grow their infrastructure in order to meet demand?

Q: Would you consider both or either of these companies a buy? One is on the TSX, the other in NY and more concentrated in one area (rice). Might you have other preferences?
Your insights are appreciated!

Q: BDT looks like it has fallen off a cliff recently and no apparent sign of a bottom.

Any thoughts on why?

I have held this for several years and am still in the black.

Buy, sell or hold?

Thank you for your help with this decision.

Q: WEQ reports Q3 on Thursday. Any idea on what to expect?

How secure is the dividend? The WEQ website indicates the dividend has been paid out faithfully at $0.05/month since June 2007 and back then the share price was $4.00.

Thanks as always!

Q: Thanks Peter for your reply on Patient Home Monitoring. You mentioned about some large trade blocks. How does one find those specifics? In other words, is there a web site that tracks large blocks from an institution or investor? Also, at these levels ($9.50), if I were to add to DHX Media, would a 5% weighting be considered too high. Currently, it is at 2%. I am deciding whether to add to energy holdings such as TOU or to DHX media? This would be part of aggressive portfolio. Thanks again for your replies.

Q: Hello. Could I get your thoughts on ARE after another revenue and earnings miss? CEO says this was a result of project delays, not cancelations, and 60% of the growing backlog will translate to revenue in 2015. The misses, cost management and exposure to oil/gas and mining concern me. Thoughts for someone who bought around $15? Thanks.
