Investment Q&A

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

Q: Re your response to Ross Nov 9 on earnings I am curious to know how this Co acquired such a heavy debt load; It almost looks as though the company was under capitalized at issue. The accompanying profile refers to the Co acquiring practices but this could be outright purchase or simply a stake. What would be a normal debt load for this situation and what does acquiring imply? Could you also comment on the probability of the federal government announcing a supported dental plan, a possible date for such and the impact on the company if this occurs. What looked to be a desirable investment has sagged badly.

Q: I have held NPI for sometime and am down almost 8%. I know you're not a big fan of the stock currently and prefer BEP, H or FTS. That said, 9 of 9 analysts are rating NPI as a Strong Buy. None of the others are rated as highly. What are you seeing that they do not?

Q: I have incorporated these ETF’s into my RRIF with the goal of deferring taking capital from my principal ( mandatory and rising % withdrawal requirements ). They now represent 33% of total portfolio. My TFSA and cash accounts equal my
RRIF and are more growth oriented. The ETF’s give me a high yield, diversified portfolio of solid large cap, primarily low growth companies in Canada and the US. So I ask myself “ Why don’t I have my RRIF be 100% of these 5 ETF’s ? What say you ?

Thanks Derek.

Q: It seems like dividend payers are starting to respond to the possibility that interest rates may have come close to their peaks. Some Canadian and dividend payers are down substantially. I'm looking to invest in some of these companies that I hope I can look back a year from now and say -- that was a smart investment! Please list ten strong companies that you think are great buys today for income and capital appreciation.

Q: Since the mine in Panama is 20% of FNV revenues and the share price is down about 20% from the approximate $200 valuation expected with the current price of gold (based on past episodes), would you consider the total loss of this revenue stream to be "in the price", or is there further downside if the court ruling goes against the mine?
