Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am interested in placing an investment in the near future in a base metal producer; preferring a copper focus. I'd appreciate your take first, on the timing of such an investment given where we are in the economic cycle and second, your selection of a "top 3" to invest in. Thanks for the insights.

Q: I believe you have recently switched from Telus to BCE as favourite telco, however does the asset investment in TV concern you? With the numbers of people fleeing cablevision in favour of streaming will BCE be caught in a double whammy, losing on owning TV stations and on cablevision subscribers? Will this not impact revenue streams and potentially the dividend?

Q: It appears from the news release that the rights dividend allows a holder to purchase a debenture. There is no indication of allowing and existing debenture holder to switch issues to a non redemptive issue.
This is exactly the way csu sold its original tranche of debentures.
It also states that this issues is an additional to the previously issued debs,ie no series 1 and 2
Am I missing something

Under the rights offering, the company will issue the rights in satisfaction of the rights dividend that will entitle the shareholders to buy up to $700 million of unsecured subordinated floating rate debentures, Series 1 of the company.
The Series 1 debentures will be issued as an additional tranche of, and will form a single series with, the outstanding $282.2 million of unsecured subordinated floating rate debentures, Series 1 of the company. There is no minimum principal amount of debentures that must be issuable upon the exercise of rights.
The company plans to use the net proceeds of the rights offering to pay down debt under its existing credit facility and use any remaining proceeds for future acquisitions.
The rights will be issued in satisfaction of the rights dividend in the amount of one right per common share.
The rights will be exercisable until 4:30 pm Toronto time on Sept. 29 at $133 per $100 principal amount of Series 1 debentures purchased, plus accrued interest in the amount of $0.217 per $100 principal amount of Series 1 debentures purchased on account of interest accrued on the Series 1 debentures from, and including, Sept. 30 to, but excluding the issue date.

Q: hello 5i:
would Operating Cash Flow be the best metric to use when valuing this company? If so, I see that historically, they've traded for long stretches of time for a ratio of under 6.0. Would you then agree that something under this ratio would present good value? If Adusted (Operating) Earnings is the best metric, would a PE of 20 or less be a good value to buy into?
thanks
