Investment Q&A

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

Q: I own shares of MX and down significantly on this stock. From what I understand, a big part of the drop can be attributed to largest shareholder M&G Investments selling 3% of company shares in August - here is their letter to MX shareholders: https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/m-amp-g-investments-sends-letter-to-methanex-shareholders-868146646.html
What do you think of this situation? Would you recommend MX as a 3-5 years hold or should I sell and take a loss?

Q: The only one I've owned and still do in this group is SLF - been a great investment over last 10 years +. I was thinking of buying MFC for my wife's portfolio since she does not have an insurance company. MFC's balance sheet looks great: very little debt., low pay-out ratio (lots of room to increase dividends). The stock seems to languish - low interest rate environment, I guess? Do you like this one for the long haul??

Q: Steinberg offers 2 "funds"; an international equity and a junk bond fund paying a 6% distribution. I like the idea that the equity fund can hold a large cash balance at times compared to other equity funds that must stay invested at all times. Do you have any opinion on each of these funds suitability for a balanced investor looking for a combination of income and growth? Let's say a 50-50 exposure to each.

Q: I am curious about Capstone Infrastructure CSE-A on the TSX, or as CSE-PA.TO on Yahoo. It has a 6.31% yield yet there are no questions on this company and I have never seen it mentioned. Please give us some background and information on the company's financial stability, security of dividend, debt levels, and payout ratio, etc. Would you consider it investable and are there other utilities with near comparable yields that you might prefer
Thank you............ Paul K
