Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi 5i,

Love your service.

Generally the Q&A answer my questions to my satisfaction.

I have about an 8% holding of EIF in my TSFA and a long term holding horizon. I have held it for a long time and it has been good to me. Given the current pullback and "short" concerns, I am thinking of reducing my risk by selling 1/2 position. Is this something you would recommend, or would you be in the "ride it out" category.

Thanks !

Q: Good Morning,
Some recent pressure on Canadian bank stocks lately, do you see this continuing in the near term? I would like to add some BNS to a taxable account, what are your thoughts. This will be a long term hold. Have TD and RY in TFSA and RRSP.
Also what are your thoughts on CNR for a long term investment in a taxable account.
Thank you

Q: Your Q&A refers to potential dividend and cash flow concerns raised by short sellers. I cannot find any discussion of this issue in your notes so I wonder if you could follow up and indicate whether these concerns have any merit and if so what basis they have. The price is down to a level which otherwise could be an attractive entry point. Thank you.

Q: David Taylor was interviewed in the Globe and Mail today. He feels there is value in HCG. His optimism rests on the book value of the company, which he estimates is between $15 and $28 a share. Do you feel this is a reasonable estimate of book value? If so could there be a significant opportunity for brave and patient investors?

Q: Regarding VSN (Veresen) being bought by Pembina (PPL), some are suggesting this might put Enbridge in an untenable position (50% of Alliance!), and they will/should/could make a competing bid, particularly as the premium for VSN is still below what it was trading for a year or two back (as high as $19.40 in 2015, although they have sold assets since). Do you see this as a likely possibility? Is that what is causing VSN to trade below its takeout price?

Q: Can you please rank the three pipeline utility companies: IPL, PPL, and ENB. I'm particularly interested to see your thoughts given the PPL/VSN deal and the big drop in PPL's share price.

Thanks!
