Q: Hi, With addition of CNQ to Income portfolio, Energy Sector exposure will go up to 12.5% (ENB, PSI, PKI, CNQ and CPD). Balanced Portfolio currently has 7.6% in Energy ( ENB-3.6%, SU-4%). If you had cash, would you increase Energy weight to at least 10%+, Today and if so, will CNQ be your preferred name ?
Also, based on the Companies' financial strength and market dynamics of Energy sector, would you consider a combined weight of 15% ( CNQ, SU and ENB ) reasonable or excessive for a Moderate to High Risk profile investor ?
Do you know why the TSX and DOW both have a huge pop at 3:35pm yesterday - less than half an hour before closing? TSX jumped about 200 point, any news there? Thanks.
Q: Im looking for a place to park some cash for my sons university costs and make a little bit of interest while it sits. Is CASH.TO a safe bet or do you have other recommendations.
Q: Hi, Listening to a recent podcast by Keystone Financial, some concerns were raised about high debt level and low organic growth, with most growth generated from acquisitions for Terravest. Do you agree ?
The stock has been weak recently and is now trading at $73, below the recent secondary issue at $74.25 and $9 below its recent high of $82. The decline could well be market related, with DOW and Industrial Sector under pressure, the whole week and not really company specific - Don't know.
At the same time, ADF Group is hitting new highs, almost every day, ignoring the weakness in the Industrial Sector, in general.
Both these companies are on your recommended list. Also, my understanding, based on your investment approach is that you would rather add to a position with stock seeing strong momentum than average down when a stock is in a downwards trend.
Not sure, if the recent price action makes one of the two stocks better than the other, but if you have $$$ to add, which one will you choose today and why ?
Q: Recently FIX has been very favourably mentioned in the Q + A. I have been holding TT for some time (and wow, thanks very much 5i for referring to this). Are the 2 very similar or can both be held? And if only one, which would you see as having the better total return performance going forward? Thank you for the excellent service.
Q: I'm interested in an energy name that I can hold for a minimum of 5 years with good dividends and reliable long term growth? I'm torn between an ETF with less volatility like XEG and an individual stock like CNQ with its higher growth? What do you suggest? Should I wait for a better season?
Q: I am a long term investor at break even point on Adobe. Fundamentals look good to me but momentum is terrible. Earnings come out June 13. Would you sell with a view to possibly buying back later or ride it out?
Q: OpenText has had a rough ride over the last few months. Any insight as to what is driving this? Any thoughts as to if this might be a buying opportunity?
Q: Hi there - it looks like a pretty decent sell off in HPS over the last few days. At what price would an attractive entry point be for a long term hold? Thanks!
