Investment Q&A

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

Q: I read where the operator of the Sakhalin-1 oil and gas project in Russia's Far East has been changed by Russian gov't decree. What is the risk for a firm like Parex or others with significant foreign operations to be affected in the same manner, including being nationalized?

Would you have a list of the larger energy companies with significant foreign operations? I know from my past work in the oil and gas industry [40 years ago] nationalization insurance was available. I'm not aware if it is still available or not.

Thank you

Q: Hi 5i:
I've been away for a while and not keeping up with Questions, so this may already have been asked and answered. if so, please provide a link to the answer.
I'm hoping you could advise what sectors you think will reverse the current trend and begin to appreciate in value more quickly than others and, also, if you could identify three or so names you would expect to 'lead the charge' in each of those sectors.
If time and space permit, any commentary you might have regarding each identified sector and/or name would be appreciated. Thanks!

Q: Hello, I sold SYZ a month ago for tax-loss purposes. I thought I would buy it back if the share price was below what I sold it for (it is). I hesitate to buy it because I worry the co will cut its dividend to fund growth and/or reduce debt, which would hurt the share price quite a bit. Should I wait until the 3rd quarter reporting in November in the hope that the co will be clearer on its intent to keep the div as is? Thanks.

Q: Two months ago I sold AQN to harvest a loss and reinvested in ACO.X which has slumped ( like the market, like the sector). I'm now looking at the AQN yield and wondering whether taking a loss in ACO and re-buying AQN is a good move. I can use the losses but its not urgent. Your thoughts please? thanks. Al

Q: I am sitting on significant cash holding. I understand that predicting the bottom is not a strategy, but I am looking at taking advantage of the recent pullback.

Given that most predict we are heading into a recession, is deploying 1/3 of the cash at this point a good strategy and deploying the remainder over the next 6 months.

I am looking for Income and growth over the next 3 to 5 years. I was looking at FTS, BIP, SLF, ENB, AQN, RY, TD, BCE. Is there any of these names you would not buy now?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Hello,

I've had these three healthcare companies on my watchlist for some time. Can I get your up-to-date assessment of each re: growth prospects and balance sheet stability? Would you consider any of them to be a buy and if so, in what order and is the current valuation reasonable?

Thank you, Doris
