Investment Q&A

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

Q: BPY has been range bound for 4 years - between $24-$29. At $24.70 today, it is essentially at the same level as in Jan'15. Would appreciate your views on why you think this is happening? Do you see any signs of corporate changes on the horizon that would be positive for price appreciation? Is it financial performance? An issue of management capability? Of Street expectation management? The rising interest rate outlook is a relatively recent negative. I had expected that with the Brookfield reputation for management excellence, a DY of ~6.5% and an annualized DGR of >5% we would see a 5% to 10% annual share price appreciation over the long term. Thanks.

Q: Hi,

SHOP has held it's own very well wondering if it would be a good idea to reduce SHOP to small position from full position. And buy SIS, BNS, NFI or PBH..for safety and growth when the markets decide to rebound...Your thoughts and sage advice welcome.
Also I am surprised at SIS sharp drop for a small miss...Should I be taking advantage of this?

Thanks. Shyam

Q: Good day!
I am an income investor, living on dividends. On Oct 24th or so I sold 50% of my full position in ALA for tax loss reasons, planning on buying it back late November in an ideal world. I sold over $21, and it is now at $16 or less.
However, I also have a 50% position in Chemtrade and also a 50% in American Hotel. All have somewhat larger dividends over the 10% mark. I have 'reasonable' confidence in a long term hold for all three, and see the great dividends as being very well paid to wait.
Anticipating a possible dividend drop for ALA, I might consider deploying partially or even fully into one of the other two, thinking their dividend payment is more likely to remain where it is in the short term, and yet the upside in each might be as good as ALA. I would appreciate your comments on these thoughts, and any guidance you could muster as to which direction to go.
Thanks!
Paul

Q: I’d like to invest in companies with excellent balance sheets, a clear catalyst for growth, and which are trading at a discount to their historic valuation. I’m hoping you can provide a list of stocks, both domestic & foreign, that meet these criteria. Are there any sectors or countries with an abundance of such companies right now? If so, please suggest some appropriate ETFs. Thanks very much.
