Investment Q&A

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

Q: I did a "back test" of one year on my Rrsp portfolio vs the income portfolio and would have benefited from being in on the income portfolio for the year. If I want to roll over my holdings to mimic the income portfolio, what is the best way to do it? I have some winners that are showing more strength that some of the income portfolio holdings.
Do I bite the bullet and go all in on the income portfolio and or slowly roll over my winners to match the income portfolio?

Q: On the news "Element issues US$1.2 billion of rated ABS term notes through Chesapeake" the stock has dropped 38% (and halted)

CIBC just reiterated their $15 target price and said it is a buy and deal is good.

Would retail investors be selling out here? Am looking at buying here - dividend is now coming close to 5%

Also can you explain the use of the ABS term notes for the fleet management business. Thank You.

Q: Question related to the new preferred share offering: ECN.PR.C which yields at the very minimum 6.25%.

Deal was sold out and as soon as it started trading the share price dropped below the $25 issue price and is now below $24.

Why would anyone buy the issue at $25 and sell it right after. Any ideas?

Also, would you recommend adding to it below $24. I have 700 shares which represents around 1.2% of my portfolio.

Thank You.

Q: Are we seeing yet another short attack here?
Looks like they had a very positive announcement with the ABS notes just yesterday and now the stock is getting decimated. Why do these short attacks keep happening in Canada is there anything we can do about it. HCG, CRH, BAD, I'm sure there are others that I can't recall. Its getting tough to be a Canadian small/midcap investor.
