Investment Q&A

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

Q: I just checked BNN's top picks for today and noticed that one of the guests - whose name is not listed as Peter Hodson had 3 top pix : tou, acq and wpk ... all rather familiar i5 favorites. Did BNN get the guest name wrong or could this be an example of "imitation being the sincerest form of flattery"? Seems like too much of a coincidence!

If so I hope the guest has at least paid for a membership :)

Q: Hi 5i Team Further to questions asked by Gordon and others concerning the accounting at the Brookfields complex, I own BIP and BEP and I'm worried too specially because I have had previous experience with the Hees/Edper complex. The largest ever lost in my portfolio (I'm a conservative investor) was Royal Trust. It was tucked away in a similar complex of cross holdings and lost over 90% of its value in the early 90's. It was supposed to be a safe holding. Please could you keep a close eye on these guys for us? Henry

Q: MBC MBAC Fertilizer has fallen quite a bit. Two of the houses who helped MBC raise funds at $2.70 last fall and more recently at $3.40 seemed quite willing to sell me shares below these offering prices. Two questions: Do you like MBC here and why would these houses do this kind of selling to their customers?

Q: Hi Peter,

If a company makes an all time high does it merit an investment.
I bought kbl and wpk on those grounds coupled with your fundamentals and its working nice for me. It would also be nice to know when to book profits.

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter. I've been following Nordic American Tanker { NAT } Recently it has had a pretty fair move to the upside, But still yields around 6.5%. My first question is: Is there a web site I can monitor VLCC daily rates. NAT's break even point is around $1250 per day. And what are your thoughts on the future of this stock.
Thanks Garth

Q: Hi Peter,

I recently came across an article in the Financial Post regarding shipping oil & gas by rail and the backlog of orders for the specialized tank cars for doing so. The article mentions the major producers of tank cars: Trinity Industries (TRN), Greenbier (GBX) as well as American Railcar (ARII). I'd love to hear your thoughts on those companies in this regard. Here is the article:

Thanks for your time,
Scott
