Investment Q&A

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

Q: In your reply to my previous question you mentioned you thought Reliq Management had misrepresented revenue. My understanding was that the items to be restated comprise part or all of the Accounts Receivable as reported end of March. Is it considered misrepresentation when A/R turn out to not be collectible do to an unexpected non-reimbursement? It doesn't seem as bad or the same as when Nortel was misrepresenting, booking sales in Texas that had not actually occurred. Any detail you can provide on how analysts view these kind of snafus is appreciated.

Q: I'm considering buying BRE for a TFSA, mainly due to its consistently high Dividend (stable tax-free income). My concern though is that it generally pays out over 3 times what it earns. How can this possibly be sustainable? The way it see it, BRE essentially generates bulk of its revenue from fees (commissions) which can be low risk provided the sales continue growing. Is BRE a good choice for a TFSA at current price?

Q: Vanadium seems to be the new hot metal, after lithium and cobalt. LGO has done very well, but a new listing, United Battery Metals, UBM, has recently done very well also. Probably just another speculative junior miner. Your comments, please? Thank you.

Q: Thank you for the special report on marijuana. I bought in Canopy growth prior to the liberals getting elected on the advice of a friend who assumed they would win and legalized weed...then sold at $15 thinking it was way too overvalued.

I am wanting to invest in a company again, would Aphria not be the safest place to put some money? They actually earn a profit as you detailed, why is it not being valued as high? Is it because they are not really players in the recreational market (yet)? They have the lowest cost and make money, seems like the best play? What am I missing?

Q: A month ago I sold both these bond etf’s to capture the tax loss. I’m now looking to rebuy/reinvest these funds. As part of my fixed income allocation I’m wondering if I should repurchase the same or might you have other suggestions in a rising rate environment?
Thank you

Q: I still like Celgene, but I'm considering harvesting a tax loss on it. What pharma stocks would you recommend I replace it with? Or would you wait the 30 days and hope to buy CELG back at a similar level again? I think every ounce of bad news is baked into it and so it might have some big upside if things like the patent fight on Revlimid work out in CELG's favor.

Q: Good morning,

I'm considering adding a small position of BXMT in my Non Reg US portfolio to generate some additional US $ income. With a 7% yield, how safe is this distribution and would you recommend any other name in its place to achieve my objective? Also, your thoughts on TF in my RSSP account would be appreciated. Thank you
Franco
