Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am retired and am mainly looking for income and some growth. I own TRP, ALA, IPL and PPL. I am down on ALA, IPL and PPL. I am thinking of selling IPL and PPL for a capital loss to offset some gains and replace them with ENB. While the dividend will be lower with ENB, I am thinking it will have more overall growth, including dividend growth. Thoughts ?

Q: In the November 24th report of The Gaming Industry Daily Report the following paragraph was stated re AYA:
"S&P revised their outlook on Amaya Inc to negative from stable as they expect lower year end earnings and a higher value of debt to cause credit metrics to weaken. The negative outlook reflects their view of the strengthening US dollar’s negative effects on 2015 earnings and the carrying value of AYA’s debt, which is not denominated in the company’s reporting currency."
Perhaps some of the members would appreciate adding this information together with your recent AYA report. In addition the following comment also appeared on NYX:
NYX Gaming Group Ltd. announced it signed a partnership agreement with 888 Holdings Public Limited Company. NYX will supply a variety of its online and mobile casino content, as well as a wide range of games supplied by 3rd parties aggregated on NYX’s OGS & CGS platforms, to 888’s global bingo and casino verticals. That is great news since as good as 888’s poker platform is, it’s casino games are still the worst selection of all the games in NJ.

Q: Hello, Further to my previous question on adding to to my positions in AYA, ATD.B, CCL.B, MDA and DSG, should I buy them now or wait until the end of December after tax loss selling? Do you think they will be victims of tax loss selling?

Also, if I have enough to add another two names would WSP and OTC (from growth portfolio) be a good decision at this time with the 5 I'm adding above?

Q: Hello Peter & Team,

I bought @ $36.48... Current price $30.63.

I have a concern regarding a reported long term debt of $1.5B and a fairly high cost on this debt at 4%. Also, it's business appears to be negatively effected by a strong U$ and from what I can tell, the U$ strength isn't going to change any time soon and in fact could get stronger.

I was wondering if you could comment on their debt scenario, what effect that could have moving forward and what you see long term (1 - 2 yrs) for the share price.

I am considering selling at a loss and moving on.

Thanks for all you do

Gord
