Investment Q&A

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

Q: Are there any stocks in particular that will be impacted positively or negatively if the Ndp or Conservatives win the election? I read an article that Andrew Pellar and Brick Brewing might benefit from a Ford government. I assume Hydro might do well under an Ndp government if the buy back the public shares? I would like your best guess and any other companies that could be impacted.
Thank you

Q: Hello 5i Team

Is there value in Hydro One as a long term dividend hold?
For the installment receipts is there value similar to AltaGas installment receipts. I understand the Hydro One installment receipts are debentures, but it is confusing to value them. Could you please provide the amount of the second installment.

Thanks for the great service.

Q: Do you see connection between this stock hitting new 52 day low two days in a row and election rhetoric by opposition parties to lower hydro bills by repurchasing shares sold by liberals or firing current CEO. Can Avista merger be stopped which I believe has already been approved by regulators. Do you still recommend Hydro One shares to income oriented investor.
Best regards,
Harold

Q: Hi Peter,
I’m wondering if it’s possible to access your past comments made when you add or remove stocks from the 5i portfolios. Specifically, right now I’d like to be reminded of what you said regarding Hydro One, but it would be nice to be able to retrieve your comments on companies you pick but have not done reports on.
If such a tool isn’t available now, perhaps you might consider it at some point? Thanks a lot.

Q: Hello,
I have no Utilities in my registered portfolio and I am going to add one at a full position. I am likely holding it for 5 years, and my overall investment window or horizon is long-term at 20+ years. The dividend yield on all three of these stocks is over 4% which I like. None are currently 'oversold' on the RSI chart.
Three questions:
Is AQN still a reasonable buy even with a P/E of 26x?
Do you expect H to stay range-bound with a price in the low $20's because of their future planned share issues?
If you could recommend only one, for a younger person, which one do you like? (feel free to deduct 3 credits). Thx, Rob

Q: In your answer to a question from Oscar about Hydro One buying Avista, you said “We would be fine with the debenture issue, with the conversion price discounted to $21.40 to entice investors.” My question is as follows: Will individual investors be able to buy these Hydro One debentures when they are issued?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Q: First of all thank you for putting the "sectors" beside the names in your portfolios - that is much appreciated.

Could you please list the "utility" companies you like best in order or preference and could you state if it is "large" company or a "small" company.
Thank you
Margaret

Q: Good morning! I have some Hydro One that I purchased when it first went public. It's done okay-ish with the dividend but seems to be in a rut now and with another share offering announced, it seems like it won't be going anywhere anytime soon. I was thinking of switching it with Algonquin and wondered what you might think of that strategy? Thank you for all you do.
