Investment Q&A

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

Q: In many questions asked there seems to be some expectation that interest rates will go down at some point in the relative near future. Do you think this is a valid expectation? Employment remains strong; housing market prices are holding; with some limited exceptions we have not seen significant layoffs…. Why would the Bank of Canada reduce rates anytime soon? I suggest that we had such low rates for so long, people expect that to be the new norm. We are only now
approaching the level of rates that were ‘normal’ for a very long time. What am I missing?

Q: I know how positive you are on this stock, many guests on BNN and elsewhere also favour it, and I have done well on it (thanks to you). I also know a great company and a great share price can stay out of sync for awhile. Do you think the share price is languishing solely because of the Fed's legislative changes, and if so, how many "show me" good quarters is it likely to take to approach the old highs? Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: I have been out of the loop for a while (due to a few health concerns) and have found these two stocks, Fiera and Algonquin, fallen since I last checked in on them.

Is Fiera, then, a SELL? I see that it is diminished in the portfolio, but still hanging in there. If this company is no longer a good proposition, could you suggest a replacement for a steady income/dividend, as that is a priority now in my stage of investing.

And same applies to Algonquin. Is that a good proposition to hold, or can it be replaced now with something with more vitality?

Thanks for your help, as always.

Please deduct points accordingly, as this is a "two-fer". : )

Q: Hello, I read with your interest your answer to Kolbi's question yesterday about growth stocks for TFSA. Regarding STN, it has an amazing chart and momentum. I see that WSP is in its peer group and is in 5i's BE portfolio. Would STN be preferred over WSP? Please provide reasons for yes or no. Many thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
Last month company issued equity at US$30.35 to acquired the renewal assets of Duke Energy. At the moment the units are trading below offer price. Do you see any upside in near future in its unit price if someone buys it now?

Is it a better choice over TCL.A or Alta Gas considering the growth and dividend increases in future? TCL.A and Alta Gas are different companies but both are dead for the past some years.

Your Views please.
Thanks
