Investment Q&A

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

Q: I own a Sherritt 8% bond maturing Nov. 15, 2017. Am I likely to get my principal back? Should I just sell for what it's worth today? This company looks to be in a lot of trouble and I'm worried.

Q: Hi Peter & Team,

Thanks to 5i, my gains in BYD.UN are substantial, and I was thinking about some tax loss selling to lessen my tax bill.

The stocks that I hold in my margin account that are down are:
WCP (-26%)
BOS (-15%)
BIN (-14%)
TMA (-12%)

Which of these (if any) would you suggest for tax loss selling purposes, and which (if any) would you buy back after 30 days? I am considering deploying the proceeds from the sale into a money market ETF for the 30 days, but perhaps there is a better approach.

I realize that any selling decision should be driven by investment considerations, but I've never done any tax loss selling and want to "do it right".

Since this is a rather long question, please feel free to use more than one question credit. As always, thanks for your valuable advice.

Q: Hi ...can you comment on the current apparent disconnect between the AIG stock price and the company's warrants . The stock is currently trading close to it's year high ...yet the warrants are off over 4$ . Seems too rapid in terms of time erosion on these warrants as they don't expire till 2021 ....lots of time left .. they trade over 29$ in August . ...an opportunity?

Q: The proof's in the pudding. Canadian Business magazine in the most recent issue named CEO Bruce Flatt #94 wealthiest Canadian and director Jack Cockwell #98. These guys are there because they have over 90% of their assets in BAM stock. Other directors and officers including Blidner and Lawson have lots of skin in the game too.
My hunch is Flatt (he's only 50 y.o.) and company will be moving up the ranks in years to come, and my money's with them. The Seeking Alpha article is fluff to put it politely.

Q: What do you think about buying some David's Tea at this price leve? I really like the brand and I'm a regular customer but didn't want that to skew an investment decision.

Thank you
