Investment Q&A

Q: Hello - ACO.x seems like your least favorite utility and you stated that 'Decent earnings growth is expected, but 2018E earnings will still be less than 2012 levels.'
Why are earnings dropping for ACO? What has changed? It was a real favorite in the market for several years.
Thanks for your insights.

Q: how safe is dividend with price going down. thx

Q: I have a small position in PFE (about 1%), and I am interested in increasing my position to about 2%-2.5% by selling off a similarly-sized position in BAC. My portfolio has about a 10% weighting in financials, while I only have about 4% in health care, which is why I wanted to make the shift. My question is whether I am better off simply topping up my PFE position, or selling PFE as well as BAC, and using the proceeds to buy either JNJ, MRK or GSK. I prefer to stay with larger cap names, and in this particular case, I am looking at US names exclusively. If you have another larger cap US name that may be worth considering, I would be very open to suggestions.

As an aside, I also have a 3% position in GUD which I plan to keep for the longer term.

Thanks so much for your time, and I look forward to your response.

Q: Does the potential reward out weigh the potential risk of buying ACQ at this time, or it's better to wait for better metrics?
