Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am heavy financials at about 20%, I should probably trim the herd....All but CHW will generate a large capital gain as I have held most for a long time. I hate to sell CHW as it pays a crazy div right now at almost 8%.

I am leaning towards holding all but taking the dividends and putting into other sectors (stock from the your balance portfolio following your balanced equity portfolio) and not adding any new financials to my holding.

Can you provide a compelling argument for selling 1 or 2 of the above for the sole purpose pf rebalancing out of financial. Or is my slow but steady approach with lower tax implications a reasonable compromise knowing I will be heavy financial for several years.

Q: Just an admin question on your answer to Brad today, re the Manulife Strategic Income Fund. You mentioned that the MER is .97, but I'm seeing that that is for the 'F' series, which as I understand it, if you have an advisor where you're paying a fee, you get to buy the 'F' version (which is the trailer removed version). But if you're doing your own, I understood that the MER would be about 1 point higher than the 'F' series. So in this case, 1.97% Mer. Is this correct?
Thanks very much...

Q: Regarding GUD and ENDP Asked by Serge and others waiting for GUD to make a move. Considering debt load, Enbridge merged with Spectra, Davis and Henderson bought Harland Financial. What happened to ENB share price and where is D&H today. Could Knight be biting off too much as well if they were to move on ENDP considering the debt they would inherit?
Quote: "ENDP has more than $7B in debt and less than $600M in cash flow in the last 12 months. The stock is down 50% in a year. Interest expenses of $488M last year ate up nearly all of its total cash flow. Earnings are lower than they were 8 years ago."
