Investment Q&A

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

Q: CIC Energy (ELC) will merge with Jindal Steel at $2 but the stock is trading at 1.77. Do you think there would still be some risks to this merger agreement or is it ok to hold it from this point to get around 13% return in two months.

Q: Peter, great job. Your comments please on 2 positions I hold: Major Drilling MDI and SNC. Buy, sell or hold? What are your views on the sectors they operate in and on the companies themselves? Would you recommend any alternatives? Thanx.

Q: Hi, more of a request than a question. Is it possible for you to include tax treatment of dividends in your reports. I know the tax is not the main consideration in an investment decision but it can help decide which type of account to purchase. For example in 2011 Boston Pizza distributions were almost 100% taxable as other income, A&W dividends were 100% "ineligible" while DH paid 100% "eligible" dividends. Different tax rates apply to all three - if I was interested in buying Boston Pizza I'd be looking at using RRSP/TFSA funds to do it. thanks for the great service, Ed

Q: Hi Peter,
Great job by you and your team. I have a question about Arc Resources(ARX). It is paying a solid dividend, and has just announced a financing after a bit of a run up in the price. How vulnerable is the price to a drop in oil prices. Is it good value at this level. Also any concerns about Arc's debt levels.
Thanks,
Chuck
