Investment Q&A

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

Q: Thank you for your cautionary note in your reply to my REITs question. May I assume you meant AX.UN - Artist - as one of your recommendations?
Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, What do you think of the Q4 results from Hammond Manufacturing? The yoy comparables look good but they did indicate that the oil price collapse would a challenge moving forward.

Thanks

Q: I have held VB(NYSE) in a RIF for approx.2 yrs. Including the substantial change in currency, I am up about 45%, however this sector has somewhat flat-lined recently. I am thinking of selling this security & would appreciate your thoughts on buying into a medical/pharmaceutical index in the US.

Q: Peter and Team,

If looking for US equity exposure and exposure to US businesses with International earnings, doesn't it make sense to buy Berkshire and simply trim the weighting when it rises in order to "pay yourself."

If seems to me this would leave one with a long term hold of a diversified collection of bluechip businesses and minimize fees because you don't pay a management fee and you don't have to buy a bunch of companies individually.

Any thoughts on this approach?

Q: REIT pricing looks especially attractive after today's price declines. I have six REITs that I purchased six years ago and would like to hold them for life. Now, I am looking at adding to my weighting to bring it to 15% from 10%. I know there may be minor further damage when rates rise but the average dividend is now well over seven percent. What do you think and which would be your top three names in this environment? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter,

I read this presentation by EDT that is in phase 3 trials with their drug for sepsis.

The presentation is here and I would like your opinion on whether you do or not think it is worth investing in and why.

Would you buy it?

Thanks

Q: What are your views on BDI results. I sold ET to replace it with BDI as results of ET were weak. I also purchased AQN on the recent weakness. Do you think these moves make sense?

Q: The Berkshire letter-all 43 pages- is an extraordinary read, and on so many levels ! An inspiring and educational glimpse at the reasons for Warren and Charlie's legendary success, not the least of which is clearly a wry sense of humour ... Thank you for including it in your Weekly "5"

Q: I have recently been picking away at these preferred shares in the $14-15 range. This particular issue is a rate-reset which is going to reset on June 30th at Gov't 5yr + 1.28%, but there also is an opportunity to convert to a floating series prior to the reset date. So, the question is: Should I convert to the floating series in light of a market that seems to be indicating higher future rates? Canada should eventually follow the US in raising rates, correct? Thanks.
