Investment Q&A

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

Q: Not a question but more of a comment regarding the following answer you provided: "Credit Suisse has downgraded the company to underperform, but these moves are designed to generate trading and fear amongst investors, in order to get commissions."

This is so true and so conflict-free, bring it on!

Q: Hi Peter
I just checked my TFSA account and have a 1% admin fee taken out by RBC. Is this a standard fee in the banking sector? It covers the cost of trades. I have a self administered account with TD and am wondering if I could transfer the account.
Thanks
Gary
(Anxiously awaiting the portfolio review!)

Q: Would appreciate an update on this co notwithstanding its upcoming vote re buying Canadian assets. I know the high yield is a warning but even if they halved it, it would still be above average. Thanks

Q: Last question February.
This company has staged a reversal of fortune that just showed in the reporting numbers. This due to the magic of gas prices sustained over $4 and also a crisis level of water supply/water usage in the fracking world that is bringing the oil companies to look for a bit more "Stewardship.." of the land.
A compelling story in my own view. Do you concur?

Q: Hi I would be interested in your thoughts on Bankers Petroleum. It has been hammered along with most energy stocks lately. Do you think it might be a good time to pick some up. It looks quite interesting. It would only represent a small percentage of a diversified portfolio. If not could you recommend something else in the energy sector that might be a better long term bet.

Q: Hello 5i team

Have recently read an article outlining price objectives as stated by a number of brokerage houses (Scotia, PI & Laurentian to name a few) and it appears they have all downgraded their expectations for CVL with 6 research analysts rating it a hold and 4 others a buy.

I have held shares for some time with a small position and am under water a tad. Can you please comment on recent results and what you see moving forward? (as best as possible) And would you take a small loss here or hang tight while looking forward to the next agricultural cycle?

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: Would you please offer some recommendations for investing in USA equities for my RRSP. I am retired and am looking for equities that balance both growth and dividends. I have built my Canadian investments to mirror your model portfolio but would like some additional USA exposure.
Thank you for this exceptional service.
