Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter:
re: PWF
this stock has dropped from $ 35 to low 30s
is there any fundamental reasons ?
I am looking for dividend and long term growth
I already owned some shares, thinking of adding to it
thanks for your help!

Q: Hi team:
last time some members raised a question on PWF is in late Feb
I hold this for dividend income and hopefully some capital gain
It has been declining for awhile
Is there any fundamental reasons for this decline?
For a long term hold for dividend income, would you give it a
B or B plus recommendations ? Thanks

Q: I own PWF,SU and SE(N)-about $20,000 each. I need about $18,000 cash before April 30,2014.Ignoring any income tax implications and diversification,which of these would you suggest that I sell?

Thanks

Q: I recently bought shares in pwf and would like your opinion on this company-thankyou

Q: Good morning, Peter. Just renewed for 2 years at advantageous price. Wish all decisions were this easy. Power Fin has finally reached positive traction for me after several years under water receiving dividends only. Given your liking for SLF, would you swap PWF for that, stay as is or move proceeds to a bank or telecom? Portfolio is reasonably well-balanced.
Thank you and kind regards,
Geoff

Q: I am (still) overweight in financials...BNS 10.3%, TD 13.2%, PWF 2.3% and SWF 3.7%. I sold out our position in BMO and bought G & AEM for a total position of 3% in Precious Metals. I am thinking of selling PWF and adding to either Precious Metals or Energy sector (PEY, SGY & VET) for an 11% weighting. Does this make sense to you? 5i seems to be generally positive on PWF... Canadian Banks seem to be well managed, protected from competition and well capitalized so the question becomes why sell anyways. The PWF is inside the RSP so there is no capital gains tax to pay.
We are near retirement age but our dividend income seems to be exceeding our expenses without considering CPP and my wife's small pension.
Thank you.

Q: I recently purchases Powerfinancial PWF and would like your thoughts on this stock. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team,
There were two preferred shares recommended on BNN this afternoon, PWF.PR.S (rated P1) and BRF.PR.E, that I would like a second opinion on.
Both offer healthy yields, and sell at discounts to their call prices. I am thinking of boosting my preferred share content in my dividend-oriented portfolio. Other than interest rate risk, do you see any red flags on either of these issues?
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: Thoughts on VSN; dividend safe? growth? Also on selling my half position in PWF and buying NA? Many thanks.

Q: Lifecos I am looking to switch some bank shares into some of these nonbank financials. Do you have a preferred stock to recommend? Do you have another for the US side of my PF?

TIA

Q: Peter & staff I hold PWf.Received dividend last year half.I am making small amount of money.I noticed an insider has sold 232 million worth of stock in last year.I'm my missing something.Is this why stock has been down.When does PWF report next quarter.How is their US investment doing.

Q: Thank you for your answer on GS. In my portfolio I got PWF, GWO and IGM which PWF is the controlling company of the two other. They're all doing well for me. Would it be a good idea to sell GWO and IGM? I would invest the proceeds in BEP.UN and LW.

Thank you, Paul

Q: Peter; I own PWF and am a income investor. Cost is $25.75. But I am concerned about any upside re low rates for the next 18-24 months. Would a switch to RioCan make sense ? Thanks,
Rod

Q: Peter; I am holding PWF and finally am breaking even.With the low interest rate forecasts do you think I should sell it and look elsewhere for my RRIF income such as NPR.UN? Thanks.
