Investment Q&A

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

Q: TA has been a destroyer of asset value for many years. How will buying assets from TA benefit RNW? How can an investor know that assets are being sold at fair market value?How much overlap is there on the boards of the two companies. If there is a high degree of overlap, I see little reason to expect RNW to be a better managed company. TD has a price target of $14.50, which seems very aggressive to me. Your comments please.

Q: Hi all, as background, TA is selling assets to RNW early in the new year (January 2016). RNW miniority shareholders need to approve the transaction, but it is accretive and RNW would boost its dividend by 5% immediately so approval looks probable. Upon completion of the transation, TA will own 64.3% of RNW, which is worth $5.78 per share (based on an RNW market price of around $10.00), plus TA does have other assets (unfortunately coal fired plants in Alberta, but they must be worth something). So I am wondering why you think TA shares are trading at only $4.20, which is a 27% discount to the value of its investment in RNW only?

Q: Shares dropped another 20% from September - bought back another 120,000 shares. Also hedged another 12 months of much lower gas costs. They still have high debt but maybe a reasonable short term hold??? Your opinion again. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

SPB hasn't been performing too well lately, and I'm wondering if their recent announcement "Superior Plus Announces December 2015 Cash Dividend and Reestablishment of Dividend Reinvestment Program" will help the stock going forward. The DRIP will apparently have a 4% discount. Should I hang on to my position in SPB in an otherwise balanced portfolio, and enroll in their DRIP? SPB is held in my RRIF but their are other dividend payers that cover my mandatory withdrawals.

Thanks as always for your valuable advice.

Q: Sorry my question got changed to banks but I was asking about Utilities.
I don't own any and was thinking of picking up a large position for year end. What do you think of this idea and the sector over all? What weighting would you give them? How many should I own? Which ones would you recommend? TIA

Q: I originally purchased Enbridge early this year at $65. I purchased more at $49. Today it is $43 . I am contemplating averaging down again and buying more. Do you think that is a good idea or do you think Enbridge is still likely to go lower still?? (I thought $49 was a low). Thanks for your opinion.

Q: Comparing CU, EMA and FTS three Canadian Electric Utilities over a 1 year period shows CU is down almost 25%, FTS down 6% and EMA up 6.5% (not counting dividends but EMA leads here as well). Can you explain why CU is under performing by such a wide margin. They do have 2 coal fired generating stations in Alberta. Which of there three would you buy here for a long term hold and why?
Appreciate your insight as usual.
Steve
