Q: Hi Team,
In your response to Joanne, Nov 14 regarding comparison of BEI.UN and CAR you state :
"and we would much prefer CAR, and would have concern on CAR's distribution." Did you really mean you have a concern with CAR's distribution?
Also in light of BEI's announced distribution cut starting Jan 1, 2018 and their new growth plans do you believe the bad news is now priced in and this is a good buy currently considering down to $40 this am?
Q: Could you compare BEI.UN and CAR.UN re: dividend safety and potential for growth? Given the Q2 FFO for BEI and year projections, do you think the business can continue to cover the dividend? How do you rate BEI versus CAR.UN ? Would you rate one over the other as a buy at this time? Thank you kindly for your analysis.
Q: On the updated website, the responses are in very light “ink” --- almost washed out. (I have tested and tweaked my PC settings). If other members have expressed similar findings, you might consider darkening the ink a bit (or change color) ?
Q: Could you please give us an update on the concern. Also there seems to be conflicting reports from different sources as to whether they still pay an attractive dividend. As always thank you.
Q: I am hoping you can address this question ( I know it might be difficult to answer) in your comments you mention "you are comfortable good long term" is there anyway to define this .i.e. next 1, 2 or 3 year - I know no one has a crystal ball. Second point I have always used the philosophy if you get a bad quarter usually a concern "cockroach theory" time to move on and find something else especially if you are in the stock. So if you have companies that report a poor quarter - would you use this approach especially if you want to outperform the market (more of a earnings and price momentum style). Thanks.
Q: Hi, the improvements to the site are simply phenomenal, especially the drill down link to individual company metrics. I have not been able to locate payout ratio however. It would be of great value to have this (or am I just missing it). Thanks..
Based on Ryan's reply to the questions asked on the 3 companies mentioned above today on BNN.
Would it be wise to sell them now or reduce my position?
If yes, what would you suggest to replace them with?
Looking for growth first and a dividend is always nice.
Thank you
Mike
Q: Could you recommend which Canadian equity ETFs have the best sector balance? I'd like to find something which is not so overweight in financial and material stocks.
Q: I am holding all of these ETFs in fairly equivalent amounts in both TFSA and Cash accounts. I will need to sell some to pay my 2017 tax bill, as the sale of an investment property has me realizing some significant capital gains.
Do you have a recommendation for which ones to sell over others, or would you maintain an equal weighting? These will be long-term investments.
Q: BCB has broken through and approaching all time hi (21.57). If it keep this up trend, is it an investment candidate. You opinion will be appreciated. Thanks.
Q: Your thoughts on CLR and HLF as they settle down after not so good results. Also, when is the period of greatest tax loss selling and how much would you let it influence buying and selling opportunities particularly in TFSA and RRSP accounts?
