Investment Q&A

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

Q: Can you tell me if Brookfield has divested of its shares in Superior Plus? I had thought they would have bought them out by now. Also, has Superior Plus cut their dividend. I bought it years ago for the yield but I am down considerably. Would you cut your losses and move on or is it too cheap to sell now.
And if I sell, what to replace it with.

Q: I recently upgraded my subscription and received the Canadian Money Saver magazine subscription, which I'm really enjoying. In the most recent issue there is a page of top US dividends within a certain criteria. I was surprised at the number of funds paying 10% plus divs. I realize that this isn't always a safe investment, but in light of rates falling, I wonder if you have a few suggestions for high dividend paying etf's (US and or Cdn) or REITs that would have capital preservation (generally maintain share price, or increase) as the rates come down, but realize income through the div.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

I know from your answers that you like VRT. I am down by about 8%. Not too worried. Willing to hold on to this.

The question is two fold:

1. I look at Finviz screener (freebie version!) and the Debt: Equity ratio and LT Debt is high? 2.25 it says. What does it mean? Indicates risk?

2. Worth adding to VRT as it has pulled back or do you think there is more downside drift to come given the sector rotation is now firmly in place?

3. Offers a decent premium and to my earlier question sometime ago you had recommended this as a candidate for writing call options. Do you still hold that view?

Many thanks in advance.

Q: Is it prudent to hold several accounts with X7figures at the same broker, which is not a large bank, but a leading broker in Canada? I know there is an insured amount of 1M.
Having accounts with several of the banks I would like to consolidate, but not take an undue risk. Your thoughts on the matter?
Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter & 5i,
Will you please explain the proposed strategic combination? Looks like if every unit holder tendered their shares for $37, then I'd receive $37 for 30% of my shares and 1 share of the new company for the remaining 70%?
If all unit holders (except me) elected to convert their shares to the new company, is it possible to receive $37 for 100% of my shares?
What is your recommendation?

Q: Reading TSX Money about the combination of A&W Royalties Income Fund and A&W Food Services, it says, "Each Fund unit to be exchanged for one share of the combined company or $37.00 in cash (subject to proration)." As I write the unit price of A&W Income Fund is $33.76 which is a long way from $37. Can you please explain what unit holders have to do in order to get the full $37?

Thank you as always for your expertise.
