Investment Q&A

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

Q: The Colabor 6% debenture, GCL.DB.A , maturing in Oct 2021, is currently trading at 75% of par. The yield to maturity is approx 18%.
In order to benefit from this excellent YTM, the company “merely” has to stay solvent for the next 3-1/2 years.
Obviously there is risk here, but do you think that the chance of GCL’s survival until then is reasonable?

Q: I have a large position in BIP. I count on the income and the growth in distributions for my retirement. I was wondering if I should be concerned about their recent dealings with Brazil. Are they protected somehow or did they get such a good deal that the problems there can't hurt them. Can the involvement with brazil jeopardize the distribution in the short or medium term?

Q: The above stocks and 1 ETF comprise my base metal holdings. Performance of several ( LLG, NMX, ALB, TV) has been dismal since purchase. I bought thinking that it was a good time in the business cycle to own commodities, with a slant towards lithium as you can see. The dollars invested in total are less than 3% of my portfolio. I am prepared to hold if the companies are performing adequately, but would appreciate whether you would consider any of the above sells or “not necessary to own” as you have coined in the past. Would it be preferable to sell all and buy Teck Resources? Thank you kindly for your consideration of this question and please deduct as many points as appropriate for such a lengthy list.
