Investment Q&A

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

Q: DR is taking a fair hit today, apparently over the change in leadership announcement (or is there something else?). How significant is this change, in your opinion? With a 7+% dividend, do you think that DR might be worth buying now as a small position, with the objective of collecting a nice dividend and perhaps a bit of growth potential?
Thank-you

Q: Although Mullen share prices are weak currently and the PE ratio is about 34 it seems that the Mullen Group (MTL) is optimistic about its own future with recent acquisitions and substantial stock purchases by the president and a director in Mid-May. It seems that the company has diversified to some degree away from the oil and gas sector although still quite dependent on performance of the sector.
I value very much your opinion of the future for this company over both the short term (1 year or so) and long term (5+ years) as represented by its stock price and dividend growth.
Thank you very much, Ed

Q: Tenneco (TEN.us)
Would you please update your mid-2016 opinion on Tenneco. Is it worth holding given the challenges faced by auto part makers and auto manufacturers. (GM for example has the lowest P/E in the S&P 500, I think--- not sure). I am a value-growth investor who also looks for dividend growth. Does TEN.us have good prospects? Is the company growing and are the fundamentals good?

Incidentally a member last year in a question on Tenneco referred to “the 5i-Scratch-Test”. What is that please?

Q: LaSalle Hotel Properties (LHO
Please evaluate LHO’s prospects for the next few years. Is LHO a dividend growth company. Is it well managed; does it have good fundamentals.

Do you believe it might be more interest-sensitive than its peers?

I have enough Canadian REITs which I have held for 4 or 5 years. I have been generally disappointed.Nevertheless, if you still recommend a Canadian company in lieu of LHO.us, I would welcome your opinion and your reasoning.
