Investment Q&A

Q: I am wondering what benefit it would be to the U. S. to raise rates. On one hand is their economy that "hot" that it needs to be controlled ? They seem to be a consumer driven society so a strong dollar makes imported goods cheaper for the U.S. consumer. More consumerism makes their economy hotter. Was that not the scenario some years back culminating in a housing bubble? Also raising rates makes their goods more expensive for other countries. Some large U.S. corporations have experienced a drag on earnings with the dollar at its current levels relative to other currencies. How can the U.S. be an island of a strong currency when many other countries are weakening their currencies to promote growth? These are simple views but your thoughts on the effect assuming an interest rate hike in Dec.

Q: A Donald Trump victory on Tuesday is now no longer a hail mary based on recent polls and commentary (and regardless as to Canadians imploring Americans to not vote for Trump). It is truly scary for so many reasons. How would you hedge the balanced portfolio against what is likely to be a general market meltdown if Trump wins? And just a clarification on the balanced portfolio to end of October - have absolute returns been 19.6% to date (or vs. benchmark) and 125.9% cumulative since December 2014?

Q: Can I have your thoughts about Q3 results, please.

Q: Hi, could you please comment on Parkland Fuel results. Thanks

Q: Do you expect AC and/or WJA will rise, fall or be unchanged in response to new permission for foreign ownership ?

Q: I own half position in ABT, admittedly for a short period, it has fallen over 8% since my purchase. Recently 5i said " We see it as a BUY, but primarily for income." With a 5% dividend, but sitting on a 8% capital loss, what should an investor do, be patient, average down, or move on to hopefully a better investment?

Q: Your thoughts on quarterly report?

Q: Is it worthwhile taking a position now or waiting until earnings comes out. I am assuming the drop in the last few days is pre earnings jitters or negative overall market induced as I can find no specific causative news.

Q: With the drop in tsl, would this be a good entry point?

Q: Hi,

BEP.UN got hammered today after its Q3 results, which when compared to 2015 Q3 looked pretty good imo. Could you please provide some insight/ideas as to why it was down 4.25% today? And how come they have negative EPS? (is it because of the $200 million in depreciation?)

I plan on holding them for a long time and am thinking of buying more

Thanks for your insight!

Q: SOT.UN just released its Q3 results, kindly give us your expert analysis on earnings, cash flows and the prospect of maintaining and/or the likelihood of increasing the payout. Thanks.

Q: This stock has basically declined since inception. The current dividend is just over 9%. Is this sustainable for 2017 and onward? What is your opinion of the stock?

Q: If a stock such as SU which is listed on both Cdn and US exchanges is purchased on the US side, is the dividend going to be eligible for the same tax credit as if it was purchased on the Cdn side [bought thru a Cdn discount brokerage]
