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 recommend 2 or 3 bond funds in Canadian $ that would be the least volatile and offer a return for a 3 to 5 year hold? I would prefer one Canadian and one U.S. or international. This would be my sole fixed income holding. Thanx

Q: I am slightly overweight the semi-pipeline sector with TRP, ENB, IPL and KEY, totalling just under 20%. I am thinking about selling KEY and either holding the cash or putting part of it into IPL given IPL's recent price and yield. KEY and IPL total about 5.5% of my portfolio. I also intend to sell some TRP when it gets back over $60. I am a patient investor with no need for funds (ever) but I will be 70 this year. How would you compare IPL and KEY in this scenario? Thanks. Great service and I've tried a lot of others.

Q: Because I cannot contribute new funds to my LIRA, I have a number of high-yield stocks to generate income that can be reinvested in growth. Full position in PDC for diversification and smoothing effect, half position in everything else. How safe are these utility and REITs dividends with 7-9.5 % yields? Alternative suggestions for 10 year plus strategy? (Please deduct as many credits as required)

Q: SALES BY INSIDERS
I have seen some insider selling activity for the above noted companies. A few officers of Enbridge sold over 50,000 shares each in December. As well, I noted a few ALA directors sold over 15,000 shares each last month.
Do you view these insider selling activities as unfavourable?

On the other hand, another Energy company (IPL) had favourable insider selling activity, in my opinion, since there were only buyers and not sellers.

Q: I am attempting to understand the relationship between KPT and KPLP in order to determine what the upside would be in investing in KPT. 1) why was KPT put in place 2) How does KPT financially benefit. 3) what would drive KPT shares 4)Who owns the bulk KPT shares and why would I invest. Just can't wrap head around this. Perhaps you can shed some light. Thank You.
