Investment Q&A

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

Q: Perhaps you could indulge me with a few suggestions. I have owned TML for ions, but I see insider buying. Should I sell now or perhaps buy more. I have been successful with CWX on buying because of insiders and am up 20% in 2 weeks. Should I sell it now since I see the future 1/4's may be cyclically weaker. I have also owned TMM forever, I am above water but wonder if I should sell and deploy somewhere else. Now that Sentry has put their person on the board do you forsee upside (as in possible merger or takeover)?
I am wondering because CAT remarks have indicated little business in the mining sector, if I should give up on the golds despite the so called good seasonality of the metal at this time. Would you sell the above mentioned positions and deploy elsewhere, and if so what sectors would be appealing. I could add to health, tech,consumer cyclicals, I will await your comments & recommendations. Thank you so much for your objective evaluations, they are very much appreciated.

Q: Greetings:
I own both atrium and timbercreek,TMC and AI. They are in the same business, and although one always stands to be corrected, I believe Atrium is maybe managed a little better. In the most recent week ai has held firm and maybe a little up while tmc is hurting. Any ideas?, because interest rate movements and discussions should affect them equally.
Thanks, BEN

Q: I would like to hear your comments on CWX. It has been upgraded by some analysts today, and took a pretty big jump. Do you think it is still at a decent entry point, and what are your thoughts on the security of the dividend considering their last reporting. Thanks!

Q: Peter

I have $55,000 in Bell Alliant(BA), $80,000 in B.C.E. and $30,000 in Telus which is approximately 8.5% of the equity portion of my portfolio . I will incur approximately a $10,000 capital gain if I sell Bell Alliant as opposed to exchanging shares for B.C.E. as per recent proposal. Alternatively, if I sold Bell Alliant, I could put the funds into Telus to provide more balance. What are your thoughts on this? Is 8.5% too high a concentration in telecommunications, given our present government's continuous threat to shakeup or shakedown the industry?

Q: re: BLX Boralex

I hold a 1.5% position in Boralex. I realized when I took this position there was some debt on the books for BLX but didn't realize it was as high as it is. I have tried my best (but for the couple of small high risk positions) to ensure debt ratios were low for the majority of my positions.

How concerned should I be with the BLX debt level?

Thanks for all you do

Gord
