Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi,
Thanks for your service. The info is very helpful. I had Veresen shares that were switched to PPL. These shares are held in a stock transfer company to take advantage of dripping. Veresen stopped dripping prior to the sale and it seems that PPL does not. My question is, did they before this purchase? Whether they did or not, do you know if they have any intention of starting. Thanks

Q: Some weeks ago I decided I wanted to buy Fortis and/or Emera. Since then they have been both dropping and I am waiting for them to bottom out. Their chart is horrible for what I consider blue chips. Is this decline based on interest rate fears or is it a general rotation or is there another reason? I favour Emera for income but Fortis for growth so I may split the purchase. Do you have a favourite?

Q: Request 5is view on Caldwell Partners.
How is the company's business model, quality of management and profitability?
The gross margins seem to be good but net margins seem too thin and not sustainable.
How big can they grow? Currently they are at $58 million revenue. Can they scale up or will they remain small company forever?
Does it have potential to attract institutional investors?
Too many questions but Im trying to understand the company because the stocks liquidity and trading is nothing much to speak of. My concern on trading is will this remain a penny stock and later get in to restricted list or get delisted?

Q: Good morning Peter:
Being a senior over 65 , I treat my TFSA as an extension of my RRSP.
With the market being so high and preservation of capital being important, can you give me three (3 ) dividend stocks that I can add to my TFSA for a secure retirement.
Can you also add your reason for choosing these ( 3 ) dividend stocks.
I presently have only banks in my TFSA and I have done well.
Thank You

Q: Hi & thank you for continued sound advise.

I'm a Balance/Growth Investor with ~ 30% Fixed Income.

- Current Fixed Income: XBB (30%), CBO (40%), CPD (15%), XHY (15%).
- Planned Fixed Income: MMF659 (70%), CPD (15%), XHY (15%).

Reasons for change:
- Tired of poor returns of CBO, XBB.
- Want more diversifies (USA, INT) fixed income securities.
- The ~ 1% MMF659 MER seems worth it based on 6.23% compound return since inception [2005-11-25].

Haven't held a Mutual Fund in 8 years, but... Yours thoughts would be welcomed here. Thank you!

Paul

Q: Share price of Hardwoods Distribution fund has softened over past 2-3 months and is off its highs. Recent quarterly results were not staller. Company has also disclosed percentage of its China imports related business (subject to Trade dispute identified by US for dumping by China) to be 11% of its overall sales, but NR also said that company has already been preparing to replace these sources, over past 1-2 years and the impact is expected to be minimal. What is your view of the company with respect to its current valuation, prospects and choice as a safer name for investment in lumber/home construction sector, at present levels ? Thanks
