Investment Q&A

Q: My question is about Manhattan Bridge Capital Inc ( LOAN on NASDAQ).
The company pays a regular7.6% quarterly dividend and the stock trades in a range of $6.00 to $6.60. The company seems to have quite stable income but is highly leveraged. Nevertheless if the pundits are correct and we have low interest rates for 2020, would it make sense to borrow money at 5% to buy this stock? What could possibly go wrong?
Cheers
Ian

Q: I would like to buy a stock or ETF that deals with water treatment, possibly desalination, or purifying water. This would be a US holding, but not necessarily aimed at treating water in the US. What suggestions might you have? I thought about American WaterWorks, and would like an idea of what else is out there, especially for desalination treatment. Thank you.

Q: NFI had fair bit of news over the holidays. The market seemed reasonably happy with it all. Could you give some colour to all the new bus contracts? Also, somebody on BNN was expressing concern about the competition opening up in the EV category and NFI's ability to compete. Do you have anything to add to that? I noticed one of the contracts included EV's from NFI.

TIA
