Investment Q&A

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

Q: Is this a suitable stock for 7 to 8 years duration for an RESP? This is a first time question. Love to see you when you are on BNN TV.

Thanks. Vic

Q: I would like to reduce my utility / infrastructure holdings by one or two names. These are all partial positions except for FTS, which is full. Could you rank 1 - 7 in terms of keep:sell or just suggest one or two sell candidates? Thank-you.

Q: Hi there, I owned ala.r which were converted into ala. On my statements, the firm took back all the dividend income I received from March to July of this year (even though it was supposed to be interest income, not dividend income). I got a return of capital and interest equaling the dividend amount clawed back. The vast majority was ROC, with minuscule interest. Ala.r was supposed to pay an equivalent amount of interest to holders of ala.r as the dividend was. So since March 18 I did not receive that, just a little interest. The way I calculate it, Alta gas got the use of my investment for five months basically free. Do you agree. Tx. John

Q: Hello: I thought I heard David Driscoll on BNN the other day saying that when holding "cash" for clients in Canadian accounts he buys Bankers acceptance notes. Could you please help me understand what these are and how they compare to other fixed income products such as GICs. Thanks very much

Q: Questions:
(1) How would you rate Lassonde's earnings report? Is it a company worth holding taking into account their eps growth and debt profile?

(2) Do you see any red flags for the longer term regarding TSGI's eps growth. I'm surprised the market has such a negative view of the lowered eps guidance if most of it was a result of the higher share count. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts.

Thanks.

John
