Q: 7:37 AM 8/10/2023
I was looking at the share price graph of KEY this morning. On your 5i Interactive chart it shows the price as $30.19 as of Sept 01, 2014. However TD Waterhouse shows the price as $49.92 for Sept 01 2014 and Yahoo shows the price as $49.13 for Aug 31 2014 so they agree.
This is a HUGE difference.
According to 5i I have broken even but according to TDWaterhouse and Yahoo I have lost a lot of money. Which do I believe? It makes it very hard to judge historical capital gains and makes it really hard to judge whether a company is worth investing in. I doubt that many people reinvest the dividends back into the same company which I think is what the 5i chart does.
What counts is what you actually paid. Please explain
If I had bought shares in September 2014 which price would I have paid?
Thank you........ Paul W. K.

Q: What ails AEP ? It has had scandals and blunders many years ago, but I thought they were over all that. Morgan Stanley added AEP to it s Global Dividend Fund just last month. I bought AEP only days ago and its down over 10% ; down 5% in the past 5 days. Unusual for a boring utility. I don’t see news bad enough to warrant such a drop , but seems something there could be rotten. What gives? Are complete idiots running AEP? Regulatory issues? Heat melting the already weak management brains? What is going on under the hood? Would appreciate your deeper insight, many thanks

Q: Today, in reply to a question you wrote :Given the appropriate valuation, we would be comfortable holding ENB for dividend growth.

Do you think there is a reasonable possibility for share price appreciation as well? If so , what would be the reason: a flight to safety? Drop in interest rates? How well does it do in a recessionary environment?

Q: Considering the cyclicality and unpredictability of oil prices, government intervention, etc., what % if any of a portfolio would you suggest exposure to this sector? While I’ve been able to make $ here it’s always been a struggle to trade more than invest (other than pipelines) this siren which calls me to the rocks. Thanks.

Q: I just read an article on Uranium Royalty Corp it said….

Despite having "royalty" in its name, only one of Uranium Royalty's assets generates royalty revenue.
The main sources of income for the company are the sale of assets and the sale of its own shares, which leads to constant dilution of shareholders.
In our opinion, the value of the company's assets is 30% lower than the current market capitalization. The value of many royalties may be close to zero.

I own shares and I am waiting the next 10 years for peak uranium prices. please comment on my statement, the article and if is there a silver lining in this company such as the management team.

Thank you

Q: Arc has been rising steadily for some months now, and has been outperforming many of its peers. It has now grown to my largest holding at over 7% of the portfolio. I would appreciate your view of the reasons for its seeming outperformance. It is in an unregistered portfolio so cutting back would generate substantial capital gains.
