Investment Q&A

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

Q: Like most people I have a bit of cash to spare but am nervous about catching the proverbial falling knife in this market. Would you recommend easing into a stock I liked slowly by buying part positions? Or better trying to buy based on a technical signal. Such as waiting for the ten day moving average to turn up or a golden cross to develop etc.? In the past I have found technical signals to be pretty useless and I think academic research shows their accuracy to be at best slightly better than a dartboard.

Q: Hello Team,
Of the big major oil companies, Exxon, Chevon, Royal Dutch Shell and Total, which has the best balance sheet in the event oil gets into the sub $20.00. Would Suncor be in this league as well.
Thank You,
Barry

Q: Hi 5i: The only oil/gas producer I own is Tourmaline, and I'm thinking of adding one oil stock to be ready for an uptick if that ever happens. Suncor is looking relatively good but I'd like something with a bit more torque. You report that RRX has a very good balance sheet, and I see that it still has positive earnings. However, it does seem expensive. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Are there any better prospects? Thanks in advance for your good advice.

Q: Hi Peter, I just filled the car up for $58. It used to be ~$80. Doesn't seem that we save that much even after the big crude decline. Why is that ? With the much lower raw material input cost and the not that that much lower finished good price, who benefits ? The refiners ? Any TSX companies ? Thanks for making the market recover some this afternoon ! Paul

Q: With all this volatility in the market affect WFC's bottom line in more ways than are immediately apparent to the unschooled investor? Will revenue be affected by declining commissions significantly as some analysts have been hinting? What else could slice into its profits, in this market (leaving aside volatility)? I would appreciate some fundamental analysis on whether to hang on for the ride -- or just bail. I've lost 10% on my initial investment, but I'm not so much concerned about its past, as its future.

Q: I've noticed with the recent market mayhem the Yield to Maturity on a number of convertible debentures has been rising and they are starting to look quite attractive. Am I right in thinking dividends would be cut before any interest payments are missed? Specifically, what do you think of EIF.DB.G? How safe is it?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Everyone seems to feel the sale will go through. As a share holder if I do nothing will I receive $4.90 per share credit to my account at closing and the shares disappear? Between now and then will the current price tend to drift up towards the $4.90 sale price? The exdividend date was 12/29/15 with the payday being 1/29/16. If I were to sell now...before 1/29/16 do I forfeit the dividend?
Thanks for your great assistance!

Q: Hi there

Wondering if you have any explanation why on a day like this with gold stock up (Barrick up 6% today) that Goldcorp is down. Lately it does not seem to move with other gold stocks. Are there some underlying issues?

Thanks

Q: What is your recommendation with CSE shares? Is it best to just to wait for the sale to go through? Or if it gets close to the $4.80 mark would you just sell the shares. Currently it is trading 5% below the offer price, and overall it looks like stable deal.



Many Thanks.
