Investment Q&A

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

Q: AAB: Aberdeen International. One of this company's recent press releases indicates a value of .83 cents per share, but the company is trading at .33 cents. There were so many qualifiers regarding the calculation of the .83 cent value that I am confused. Is this "smoke and mirrors" on their part?
Would you consider buying in view of AAB's holdings and dividend payments of ~ 5.7% and a Globe and Mail 4 Star rating? Thanks.

Q: HEP or PME. If you were to buy one of these gold investments, which one would you choose? Both have high dividend yields, although PME is a bit higher. Any significant difference in the "safety" of the dividend.
This would be a long term hold. Does one of these have better upside potential?

Thanks.

Q: Hi, Peter.
I am afraid that I am becoming addicted to your 'Investments and Company Questions' as well as your column in the National Post. I read with great interest your Saturday morning comment that you sincerely doubt that Orbite Aluminae (ORT.TO) will be a big winner.
Would your opinion change if Orbite begins commercial production and distribution by mid 2013?
Thanks,
Ed

Q: Hello 5i,For tax loss selling I think you have to wait 30 calender days before repurchasing the same stock back.
My question is if you purchase the same stock back in a Rsp or the TFSA within the 30 days would this disallow the tax loss in your regular trading account.Also if you have the same stock in a TFSA or Rsp do you have to sell these stocks to capture a tax loss in your regular trading account.Thanks

Q: I would appreciate your opinion on Torstar. Although it has secular challenges it seems the news is baked into the price. It's trading at just 3.7 Earnings. The dividend is 6.7% and similar companies in the US (New York Times) have had significant price appreciation the past 12 months due to the potential for digital pay walls. Thank-you.

Q: Hi Peter,
ok, Sandstorm Gold, SSL paid Premier Gold 2.20 for their holdings in Premier Royalty, NSR. Now, Premier Royalty is currently trading at $1.57. Do you view Premier Royalty this as a buying opp at current prices after SSL was happy to pick up almost 60% of NSR at 2.20?
