Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning,

I understand that AMLP.US ETF that tracks the performance of a basket of energy infrastructure - oriented master LPs. Assuming that the oil prices will be up from here in 5 years and given that this etf currently pays out approximately 9% dividend, I would be interested to hear your view regarding the suitability of this etf in a RRSP in terms of downside risk and dividend sustainability. Thank you.

Q: I read with interest your recent article in the Post and was intrigued by the comment that research shows 90% of portfolio returns come from sector allocation - if a person wanted to take advantage of that, in a simple, easy to manage and inexpensive way (ignoring taxes for the moment) what would be your view be on an approach where one's equity component of their portfolio consisted entirely of a number of ETF's with each one of the ETF's focused on a particular sector, with a periodic (say quarterly) rebalancing? What specific ETF's would you suggest for such a portfolio? Thank you.

Q: I bought Painted Pony when it was around $4.50. So I am up on this investment. Is Raging River a more compelling stock for growth? Should I sell PPY and buy RRX. Should I hold long term on PPY? Or should I sell and go inot an entirely different energy stock? I view myself as a long term investor and want to hold stock for 5 to 10 years and hopefully watch them grow.

Q: Peter and team:
I have an account that is not balanced and is basically a speculation account (a small portion of my overall portfolio).

In this account I am down significantly on BDI and PD as I got in to them when Oil was near it's peak.

I was wondering if it would be best to sit on them both and wait it out or perhaps bail and get in to a junior oil company that stands to "pop" if/when oil rebounds. I was thinking of RRX.

Or perhaps there is an aggressive growth company you might suggest that potentially could help re-coup some of my losses???

Thanks

Phil

Thanks again - John C

Q: I have been holding TOU for the past year so I am still underwater even though it has recovered a bit this year. I recently reduced my position by about 25% thinking that the recovery in the energy sector would be short lived and I wante d to take some money off the table and maybe add later at a lower price.

Since then, TOU and other low cost gas producers have continued to go up so now I am a bit confused considering that nat gas prices continue to be weak. Can you please shed some light on the current dynamics in the nat gas market and your outlook for TOU.

Thank you.
