Investment Q&A

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

Q: I know you have had mixed commentary on these two. Questions:

1. On BCE, do you think the dividend on common shares is "safe" (I own it for the dividend ... capital appreciation is less of a concern) Would I be better off simply selling my common BCE shares and buying some BCE preferred shares (and if so, which one). Or should I sell it and buy something else with more upside ?

2. SPB announced a major cut to their dividend this morning. And based on my reading, the latest quarter was less than staller. What are your thoughts on this one overall given this news?

I hate being reactionary but I'm down over 20% of both of these ....

Q: Can you please provide your current assessment of Superior Propane (SPB)? I have been invested for about 3 years and am down close to 50% and it continues to follow its trend of decreasing stock price ever since I owned it. Did I miss one of your fundamental reasons to sell and do I now consider holding for purposes of income, if you think it has hit a floor and has no further growth prospect? Thanks again - John C

Q: I am an income investor. Can you please explain, with falling interest rates, the risks associated to making a significant bet on Superior Plus Company (SPB). From my reading, the 9% dividend is well covered by earnings and the debt, though significant, is coming down. The company is making money with a largely captive audience and the day to day share price is largely irrelevant to me. With a 5 year, plus, horizon, I don’t get the low share price. Is this a poor man’s Enbridge?

Thanks for the help!!

Q: Can you tell me if Brookfield has divested of its shares in Superior Plus? I had thought they would have bought them out by now. Also, has Superior Plus cut their dividend. I bought it years ago for the yield but I am down considerably. Would you cut your losses and move on or is it too cheap to sell now.
And if I sell, what to replace it with.
