Q: ATCO is down 14% from my avg cost in my non-registered account. I am thinking do a tax loss selling and buy FTS or AQN or both. Do you think it’s a good idea?
Q: Hello - ACO.x seems like your least favorite utility and you stated that 'Decent earnings growth is expected, but 2018E earnings will still be less than 2012 levels.'
Why are earnings dropping for ACO? What has changed? It was a real favorite in the market for several years.
Thanks for your insights.
Q: Hi: I have watched the decline of Atco Ltd. shares for the past two years and wonder if it will ever resume an upward trend again . Do you have a strategy for noticing a trend change in a long slow declining stock. Does it need a major event to change the decline of could it quietly bottom out and change direction. Thank you for your reply.
Q: amongst CU,EMA, ENB AND ACO,
A.please rank in order, best value buy and what metric is most appropriate for them in terms of assessing "value".
B. Also could you please give me some historical perspective on their value (always hard to decide on when to buy in given all of the recent drop.)
Q: Atco paid a yearly dividend of 65.5 cents per share in 2012. Today it pays $1.14. I am considering purchasing it as part of my income portfolio. Its prior history of rising dividends ( before 2012 ) is something else that attracts me.
Q: What is the reason behind the recent drop in ACO.X
I own it in my income stream. Would you add at this price or hold or sell?
What would you replace it with in a large diversified portfolio if you suggest selling? Thanks
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
Someone asked about you opinion of CU and FTS, and in your response you preferred CU.
Do you think ACO.X is a better way of getting exposure to CU, or would you just purchase CU directly.
Thanks.
Q: Do you think that ATCO will benefit to any significant degree over the next couple of years from some of the Liberal's promised infrastructure spending ?
