Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am a retired, conservative dividend-income investor with a pension, CPP, annuities, and hold the following: AD, AQN, ALA, BNS, BCE, CGX, CJ, ECI, FTS, PBH, RY, TRP, WCP, WEF, WSP, Sentry Cdn Inc, RBC Cdn Eq Inc, Sentry REIT, ZLB, XIT and Fisgard Capital.

I am looking to top up my consumer stocks, already having full positions in CGX, ECI and PBH.

I am also looking to top up my industrial stocks, already having a full position in WSP and those contained within Sentry Cdn Income.

Suggestions for new holdings with a dividend > 3% please.

Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: Hi, PBH stock has been under constant selling pressure, after hitting an all time high of $59.81, one day after the quarterly release. I know, co. missed earning estimates, but outlook and growth expected from additional sandwich capacity coupled with C&C acquisition should be quite positive. Technically stock seems to be quite weak and may even go lower. Is there a reason to worry ? I have a full 5% position and would appreciate your comments. Thanks

Q: Lots of momentum behind Maple Leaf Foods. Owned them forever and sold out at $25.00. Now they are approaching $30.00. One analyst thinks they can go as high as $40 now that their restructuring is in place. How does MFI compare to Premium Brands a stock I don't own but have been watching.

Q: I guess I wasn't clear in my last question. Would you please rate these companies as to which would be your first choice, second choice , etc. for a 5 year investment and purchasing today. I have no US exposure but otherwise have a relatively balanced Cdn portfolio and need to deploy US$100,000. Please explain why you rated them as you did. thank you. This was the prior question: What do you think of Int'l FLavours and Fragrances and their latest quarterly results? How would you rate it relative to HD.us, PBH.us and STZ.us for a 5 year investment? Thank you.

Q: The president stated in its press release that the first quarter results were "right on plan". Although I realize this is only one quarter and record results at that, my concern lies in EPS being almost 20% below street consensus and a lower number than any I could find. This seems like very poor communication between the company and the street especially after the recent money raise and only adds to unnecessary volatility. Do you agree?

Q: Sirs :Badger has drifted in a tight downward trading range for some time. Do you expect a breakout in the near future or have a suggestion or two I may consider for growth in the near future. Thanks for your sound advice in the past.
