Q: Hello, Do you think CCL is a buy at these meteoric levels. I have a half position and would like to top up. I am also considering WPK and I dont have any position in WPK. I also want to top up on BEP..any reason why this has fallen? Also can you suggest any US stock to buy and forget for the next 20 years or so..Cheers, Shyam

Q: I have had my eye on this comp. for a while: never bought because I felt the PE was not justified; now, PE coming down, but, I still have concerns: poor ROE, high Pay-out Ratio, missed last 3 out of 4 Q results - USD strength should be helping bottom line with major acq. this year and debt. higher - probably no dividend increases for quite a while, as well.
Comments please - thank you .... JP

Q: Hi team:

What do you make of the continuous share price massacre of DH?

You have stated in previous responses, based on facts and figures, the company is doing fine and yet the "manipulators" manage to keep selling the stock down with no resistance. That short report, which as expectedly was rebuked by management, seems to be ancient history now, so what gives?

Q: Another scenario that I read about if the new government wants to negate the increased TFSA limit allowed in 2015.
Current Total Limit
2009 - 2015 = $36,500
2015 increase = $ 4,500
Total = $41,000
Possible New Limit
2009 - 2016 = $42,000
So those who topped up in 2015 would be allowed only $1,000 in 2016. This would have the effect of cancelling the additional $4,500 this year.

Q: I am wondering about the timing of tax loss selling for individual investors. I know that this year it has to be done on or before Dec 24. I wonder if its best to wait until the last week so as not to get caught in the downdraft of tax loss selling of large institutional investment companies. Is there any "basic strategies" you can suggest?
I have a few I'm considering : sell PPL/buy TRP. sell AFN/ buy AGU, sell MG/buy MRE, sell CS/buy LUN (or stay away from commodities)
Appreciate your comments

Q: The MInimum Rate-Reset Preferred Shares BEP.PR.G, ALA.PR.I, BAM.PF.H, CU.PR.I seem almost to good to be true. They offer rate resets that are a 100 bps or higher than the previously issued rate reset shares of the same companies as well as a guaranteed yield of 4.5 to 5.5%. The only caveat I have been able to find is that the distribution is projected to be composed of 50% eligible Canadian dividend, 25% income and 25% return of capital (http://prefblog.com/?cat=14). How and when would the return of capital be taxed in a non registered account? Would the return of capital diminish the redemption price of the shares? What percent of a fixed income portfolio would allocate to this type of security?
Thanks David

Q: I currently own G in a non-RRSP and it is the only gold stock that I own. Would you recommend a sale on this stock for tax loss purposes that can be off set with a capital gain of another stock? Would you be a buyer of any gold stock at this time?

Thanks

Q: I bought it in Feb. 2015 at $85 only to see low of $67 in the summer. I am still holding it, but ... what are the prospects of recovering and going to $85-$90 ? I read that the high US $ is hurting their EPS because lots of their products are sold in overseas locations, any light at the end of the tunnel ?

Q: Hello Peter & Team,

I did very well with SPY (now BKD) when I bought it in Feb around $0.34 and sold it in May @ $0.61. I've continued to track it and noticed the article at the beginning of this week mentioning their new app for Yahoo Fantasy which allows fantasy Players to automatically get updates on their players without looking them up individually.

Fantasy is huge and only getting bigger. I play fantasy football and their application is a very handy idea.

At $0.24 today which is up 25% since last week, would you consider BKD a sell, hold or buy at this time? And is there anything else I should know before re-entering a position?

Thanks for all you do

Gord
