Q: Convertible bonds are obviously not exactly the same as corporate bonds due to the possibility of converting them into common stock. I was wondering if they are treated exactly the same as the other bonds a company may have issued as long as they are still in the bond form? That is are they they still guaranteed to be paid as long as the company is solvent and are they at the same debt obligation level as other bonds issued? Thanks you.

Q: This is my dilemma I already hold 32 stocks. I own the above stocks with full positions in SBUX and MG and 1/2 position in AMZN to make up the consumer discretionary portion of my portfolio for a goal of 10%. This currently makes up 8% of this sector. My question is do I add to AMZN for a full position or add another stock? I own most of the stocks in the balanced portfolio and if I would follow that TOY would be your choice if I add another stock(I think) or would you add something else to the mix if adding another stock makes sense. My $US/$CAD mix is pretty much in line with what I want so I could go either way on that option. Thanks for the opinion in advance.
Q: Manulife Class-action has a settlement amount of $69,000,000 to be distributed among shareholders past and present April 1, 2004 to October 9, 2017). It has 2 billion shares outstanding. I have 350 shares which I have held for five months. Since the shares are in insurance company, pension fund, ETF and mutual fund portfolios, is it worth filing a claim. I predict a payout of less than $10 (if any) as many shares have been sold in the 13 year time lapse.

Q: Hello,
I currently hold a DRIP Portfolio consisting of BAM.A,BNS,RY,MFC,SU,FTS,RCI,ECA,TRP,and POT. I have found this style of investing quite profitable and am looking to add a couple names. I'm considering WSP and TCN. Given the names I already own and the valuation of the two companies, which one would you suggest? Can you think of any other companies that might be a nice addition? I have a 15 year time horizon. Thanks for your awesome service.

Q: Although I have referenced AQN and FTS in this question, I am hoping you can apply your answer to utilities in general.
My question is how do these companies operate such that some are considered to have good to great growth potential while operating in a sector that tends to be highly regulated in terms of pricing power. The major companies tend to be acquisitors. However, unlike other industries, buying another company doesn't improve pricing power, eliminate competition or reduce selling costs through operating synergies (or at least I don't think they do.) Ontario Hydro's purchase of a company in the US northeast comes to mind here.
I can see that financially, larger companies may have lower costs of capital and higher cash flows which could lead to quicker modernization and better upkeep of equipment but is there more to it than that? What am I missing that makes AQN a growth story and not just a dividend producer?
Appreciate your insight.

Q: I noticed about $16 million in insider sales at TOY in the last couple days. Could you comment on the amounts sold relative to the amounts held, and the action in general? It appears 4 insiders sold - how many "insiders" are there?
Thank-you

Q: Dear Team,
I realize that you like the stock. However, ZCL doesn't appear to 'act' very well aside from the fact that markets are down. The potential is there but the follow through seems to fizzle.
What is your view? Would you have a recommendation for another stock in this category?
Thanks!

Q: Any change in your views on WPRT? Thank you.
Q: Trading quite weak recently. Oil has come off a few bucks, the market a bit weak too but.....feels like the solid fundamentals everyone refers too aren't reflected in the stock price. Value trap or opportunity? Best guess as to why its trading weak?
Q: I currently hold DHX in an RrESP account which I will be winding down over the next 4 years. The stock has come back nicely over the last little while and wonder if this momentum will continue or weather I should take this opportunity to exit. This stock was originally purchased for capital appreciation given the low dividend.
Thank you.
Maggie

Q: Do you have any insights into Smart Sand versus Fairmont Santrol.
The price has dropped significantly and usage of sand within the industry is falling at this point in time. Is Smart Sand highly leveraged or do they have a good balance sheet and will survive ...... maybe it's time to add to my position.
Thanks DAN

Q: Ever since Intrinsyc released its lackluster Q2 report (but with a positive outlook) insider buyer from the Company's CEO and a director has increased rather significantly. Is this a reliable indicator of what is to come in future results?
