Investment Q&A

Q: Do you think the insurance claims from Fort McMurray fire damage will have an impact on the stock value of insurance companies

Q: Back in March you thought it was early to be buying EMP.A. My screener shows a BV of about $28 vs current price of about $21 and a dividend of 1.9%. It also looks to be forming a bit of a base on the chart. Do you still feel it too early to buy? If so what do you think is a better buy in the consumer space for a value investor? (A 3-5 yr hold is not a problem when there is a reasonable dividend.)

Thanks for your help - my portfolio is a lot more balanced since I started reading to your advice!

Q: For those of us who have ridden BDI down to 75% losses, would you suggest being opportunistic and sell now ? Or, do you feel the price will continue to improve over at least the short term, and if so, (understanding that this falls under a "best guess scenario") ,any general thoughts on where that price might go to ?

Q: Dear Team,

What do you think of CWCs right offering. I still own 10000 shares and naturally I am under water with this. Is it worth the risk to buy and average down?
Also your opinion on KPT ?

Thanks, Frank


Thanks, Frank

Q: Concordia's share price has been sliding steadily recently which I find surprising given that the company is in play ( I assume)based on any public information that we have access to. Also with the earnings report expected in a week I would assume that the company will have paid down some of its debt. Both events I thought would be positive for the shares. So why are the shares dropping as much as they have especially if Concordia has formed a committee to evaluate possible buyers? The market is acting as if that possibility has been ruled out yet there has not been any announcements to that effect. So how does one rationalize current share performance with a possible buyout that typically would stabilize share prices? Or does the market/insiders know something that we do not know? Your thoughts please. Thx.

Q: What's a better bargain right now BOS or ATD.b

Q: Strong 1st Quarter Results on Savaria. Just Hit 8. Still under the Radar. Do you see a continuation of Growth and maybe more Acquisitions. Is this Company just going to keep getting Bigger.

Q: Thank you for your recommendation on SIS. Given the recent run-up, would you consider trimming or just hold. I am a long term investor.

Q: Good morning Peter,
unless I am missing something, I was under the impression that Concordia were scheduled to release their 1st Qtr results this morning, yet I can`t find any news towards this anywhere. Can you enlighten me on this? Thank you.

Q: I am attracted to the 5+% dividend and also the growth possibilities of BIP.UN. For LPs such as this are special filings required of the shareholders? Looking forward to your BNN appearance today. I am enjoying the new website and appreciate your unbiased opinions. Many thanks.

Q: Timbercreek Mortgage Corporation TMC
Hello 5i.
I am a holding of TMC bought at lower price. Today's news looks like a good initiative and beneficial to holders of TMC - company size, TSX exposure and reduction of fees paid.
Would you please comment on how a holder of TMC should interpret the news? What are your thoughts on TMC from dividend sustainability given it trades at an 8.78% yield today?
Current trading has investors indicating they do not like the transaction.
Thanks

Q: Many years ago, I used a small portion of my RRSP to buy Pengrowth Energy and the price of the stock dropped substantially. Now, I am planning to sell this stock and invest the balance to a venture stock that has the most potential. Could you suggest one for me? I am totally okay if the new stock does not work well and lose all the investment. Thanks

Q: I own both of these companies. I noticed that PKI is now Canada's 2nd largest distributor of propane. I assume SPB would be No. 1. I have been increasing my holdings of SPB via CUS. It is making for a sizable positon in propane for me I am surmising. How closely related are SPB and PKI business models? If they are closely related and I was to sell down one (I do like the divvy of both) which would you choose?
