Q: HI team
I am a little confused with this company, I had wrote it of, but it has made a good comeback. They had earnings of $.55 last quarter, and have settled with their debt holders, I believe, and should be coming out of protection. With such good earnings why is it trading at $ 1.90, please educate me.

thanks

happy xmass and keep safe

Q: More of an educational question on Convertable Bonds, e.g. NFI conv bonds issued 2 Dec 2020 at $1000 per bond paying 5% interest convertable to common shares at $33.15 anytime before or on maturity in 15 Jan 2027. These trade on the TSX under NFI.DB currently at $99.00. How does the price go from 1000 to 99. Would I be buying the "bond" or something else. What price would I get on maturity. Is it common for convertable debentures to trade on the TSX.
Thanks in advance. Ken

Q: Howdy to all you Santa's helpers, thanks for all your wise council.
My question today is: i recently sold GUD after a long hold and so am looking for another healthcare replacement. I know you have reported on NBLY and AND and so wondering which of the two you would recommend to replace GUD. Or, do you have a better recommendation?

Thanks to all

Q: I have Fiera in my RRIF and while it pays a great dividend it has not grown. Enbridge on the other hand has also a good dividend and has grown. I currently own 3 banks and Pembina pipeline. How would you compare from a risk perspective and would consider this a good alternative. Other recommendations would be appreciated. I am a dividend moderate growth retired investor.

Q: Hi,
With a supposed graphite supply shortage to the US in 2022, is there opportunity for Canadian mines to increase graphite mining and production? If so, what mines or producers could be a short or medium-term investment opportunity?
Many thanks for all your valuable insight!

Q: Hi All:
I have a generic TFSA question. My TFSA is ~$147K; my wife is at ~$140K
Not all my stocks choices are winners but sometimes in the past I have NOT taken my profit off the table. ie sold some of my winners to reinvest in other upcoming potential winners. We all get the $6K starting in 2022, but I would like your thoughts on transferring in kind some shares from our TFSA's into our open account. ie: the ones that have gained 70 to 80%. My thoughts are that this would give me more room to transfer $$$ from our open account in 2022, that are presently losses I think are still potential stocks that could go up, thereby giving us some tax free gains.

Is this game to dangerous or just plain stupid.

I hope you all have an enjoyable and well deserved Xmas time off. Ken.... :-)

Q: These symbols are confusing.
They are both showing as having the same US$ div'd.
Same name and both say :CA on you web site,
They appear to be the same but .U trades in US$ on the TSX.
The .UN one is aa newer list and trades in Cdn $.
Any advantage to one over the other?
Cdn $ one seems to do less volume.
I always get gypped on conversion when I trade US$ in a Canadian $ account. Even the trading fee is in US$.
Would appreciate your expert opinion.
