Investment Q&A

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

Q: Intermap, IMP is a small Canadian mapping company that I own a small position in, as it is being touted quite heavily in another newsletter I subscribe to.

There's lots of talk about the mega deal they signed, how much of it will actually end up with IMP as profit, and whether they'll land another whale or two. Talking like $2 is reasonable...

Thoughts from 5i?

Q: What are the differences between stocks that are listed as ABC.A or ABC.B? For example as in Chorus.A and Chorus.B. I know that they usually imply voting or non voting shares but could you please expand their status more specifically and how do they effect investment potential and which are preferred and when. What does voting or non voting actually mean and when are each the best investment? Your informed comment please.

Q: This is an information question. I am wondering what software would you recommend for tracking securities, buying and selling. Also is there software that deals with the adjusted cost basis of stocks. Thank you.

Q: I have sold a holiday home in the US and have $150,000 that I want to keep in US funds until later in the year when I think the exchange rate will be better to change to CDN. Can you recommend an ETF or other reasonably safe way to get some dividends on these funds for 6 to 8 months

Q: Although the market has had a good run lately, many companies are simply beating reduced expectations. I saw an analyst on BNN this morning note that top line revenues will be down about 7%. The economy is coasting along and showing no signs of a big jump. My intuition tells me that this may be a good year to "sell in May and go away." Or at least lighten up. Since you rely on more than intuition, I would be interested in your opinion on this.

Q: The week, Great-West declined to exercise their call option on their US$300mm fixed-to-floating hybrid bond securities, thus allowing this bond to not mature for another 30 years. Apparently the bond market was shook up a bit over this move and it was not expected. It is my understanding that it has been generally customary to exercise the call option at this point (10 years in this case), but GWL has broken with this tradition/practice. I have read that the market for these types of bonds is about C$45bln.
Do you think that this could real negative impact on the bond market?

Thanks,
Mike
