Investment Q&A

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

Q: I hold ALP, NHC and CFL. Would you provide your views on these companies. I bought CFL at 2.65 and it has been falling ever since. Also, your earlier views on NHC were negative due to the management. Have your views changed after the resignation of the chairman. Thanks

Q: This stock has been falling relentlessly for several months, but most dramatically in the past couple of weeks. (It has already lost 2/3 of its value since I purchased it in October.) I understand that there is some oil/gas exposure, but the decline seems overdone. Do you have any explanation as to why this stock keeps tanking?
Thanks!

Q: Could you update your opinion on Dundee Corp. Is there a reason for the sell off or are their investments just out of favor? Are the Goodmans building the underlying value of their company?

Q: Hi guys,

With the decline in energy prices, a number of business analysts and commentators are highlighting an opportunity of a lifetime in purchasing debt of mid cap energy companies in the near future. Can you explain how a retail investors would get exposure to this? Are they referring to new debt issues that will come from these companies given the stress that they may be under or existing debt that needs to be restructured? I assume the difficult part will be determining which companies will survive and which will fail.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Hi Peter,

As I mentioned in a prior question I am a significant holder of Convertible Debentures, some in Registered and some in non registered accounts

In the past decade I've only had 1 default (Prizm)

However today I am holding 5 CV's that are substantially below par and I am concerned that they will be able to settle in whole upon maturity.

I will list them as follows:

PLT.DB
WEQ.DB
ZAR.DV
AET.DB
LRE.DB

Question to you is, which of those are so dangerous to hold, given the current state of energy, that you would recommend I sell because taking the current bid is probably better than zero?

Thanks

Q: Hi guys,

I'm trying to sort this out in my head in terms of how it is going to play out. Let's assume Greenspan is right and we run out of storage and oil instead heads straight to the market. It feels like what a "run on the bank" would be. We get much lower prices until production (supply) is taken down. This would be in the form of outright bankruptcies. Once that lost supply is gone, we can stabilize oil prices. Is this sort of how you see this crash playing out? Thanks

Q: I note in your email news report this morning that you are overall positive on prospects for the markets in general. Your report notes that the current P/E for the S&P500 is 19.37, which I understand is elevated but not of great concern. I see elsewhere, however, that the CAPE for the S&P500 is quite elevated at about 28, which some people in the business, notably Prem Watsa of Fairfax Financial, are taking as a glaring warning signal. What is your view on that?

Q: Can you please comment on negative bond yield we see, i believe, mostly in europe. I think i understand the concept of deflation but why would an investor accept negative ytm ? (Too much risk perceived elsewhere ...) Are those investors mostly gov't entities ? If i am not mistaken i saw the 30 year german bond yield at 1%. I really have hard time to see the appeal. Thank you for your thoughts.

Q: It looks like mart resources may enter an agreemant to have it's assets taken over by midwestern oil and gas at 80 cents a share. Does this make todays share price for mart a bargain. Is it worth buying some and waiting for deal to happen?
