Investment Q&A

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

Q: I read with great concern in this weekend's National Post, David Rosenberg's article entitled "10 Reasons to take risk off the table right now". He makes ten legitimate reasons to do so. I would appreciate 5I's opinion of the article and his supporting logic. My high risk equities are WEF, NFI, TSGI, MX, COV and VET.

Q: I am a little perplexed on the answer to Gervais on WEF and NFI. You say that with valuation changing but fundamentals still good that one can still make money from NEW valuations. How can one make money on New valuations if one already owns the stock down 50 percent? It needs to double just to break even. One could average down and buy more but we are being taught not to average down on a losing stock.
For example I am in on WEF AT $2.67 a share. It is now hovering around $1.25. So with the NEW valuation, it is great for someone who does not own WEF but how about someone who does own it. Just collect the dividend and wait for new cycle, average down the cost or sell? What would you do? Timeframe three more years.

Q: Hi team, you have no change in holdings in both the Income and the Balanced model portfolio of July. NFI and WEF are among the holdings. Do they still have a place there? These two stocks have decreased by almost 50% in value over the last 12 months. What is your rationale for keeping them in the portfolios? Thanks, Gervais

Q: Enb in my portfolio has a book value of $42.16
And a yield of 7%. It now represents 10% of my portfolio. This my largest position in a portfolio of $630000. I generally buy for dividend and growth. Maybe I should reduce my position in ENB and take a 5% position in another dividend paying stock with growth potential. eg. CM or other opportunities. Any suggestions.

Q: Two questions:

I read this morning about Canfor shutting down a BC interior mill due to lack of raw log inventory and processing costs. The article indicated that more mill shutdowns in BC will be inevitable due to the same factors.

Does WEF have a sufficiently large inventory of harvestable trees to avoid shutting down any of their mills in the foreseeable future? What about the processing costs at their mills. Are they at the lower cost end compared to other mills?

Thanks as always
Peter
