Investment Q&A

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

Q: At any given time I have between 10-20% of my portfolio in cash to take advantage of dips in the market . I do worry about this cash sitting "idle". Several years ago a broker recommended I keep the funds in a money-market fund but I found it actually lost money... Not sure what I should do with the cash. I need quick access to it and would be happy with anything beyond a 0% return! Looking forward to hearing your advice. Thanks

Q: Canwell - CWX
As I was inputting this question, the screen jumped out of query mode and back to Q & A. I'll repeat what I was asking. CWX is consolidating shares at some point. Today's SP has jumped substantially. I have CWX in RBC and BMO investment accounts and both show the share price increase but do not reflect any changes in the # of shares. Is this a timing issue or a legitimate increase in SP?
Thanks, Bev

Q: It is becoming more common to use enterprise value/EBITA to determine if a stock is in a buying range. How does this compare with price/earnings and price/cashflow for the same company.

Thanks

Q: Not sure if anyone else raised this point. With full respect I believe your May 15th comment on CHR.B changing the monthly payout to quarterly, should be the other way around (quarterly to monthly). If I have my wires crossed please count this as one of my questions.

Great Q&A , it is a pleasure to review at the end of each evening

Q: Hi,

I'm a long term investor. Why did you choose Enbridge for your model portfolio over TransCanada or IPL? Would this be a good time to add it to my portfolio or do you see further weakness in summer?

I'm also looking for an oil/ gas stock as a long term hold, preferably with dividend. What do you think of High Arctic Energy or do you have a better idea?
