Q: In Maple Leaf's news release, they mention the Chinese import ban of Canadian pork affecting their bottom line. It sound's like they export pork to China. I hold PBH and would like to similarily understand the mechanics of how China's pork issue may affect PBH. Does PBH export pork products to China that would be subject to a ban? On the other hand, is it possible that lower North American pork prices could be positive to PBH as an input cost? Thanks.
Q: Hello, continuing with portfolio fine tuning to achieve better diversification as suggested by your service. Need to reduce Canada and increase international.
Technology, need to reduce , hold csu, engh, and kxs and otex. would you reduce engh or eliminate kxs or otex?
Industrials, need to reduce, currently hold cae and tih equally, which would you keep?
As far as global, would you be ok with 7% in xef with another 3% in icln?
All are within an rsp with goal being growth/dividend. Thanks
I agree with your previous poster commenting on the ability to journal Cdn companies to the US side of your portfolio. I deal with 2 differnet bank/brokerage and both let me do it without hassle however, you can get the wrong information from a call centre person. If you don't like the answer, ask to speak to a supervisor.
Or move your money to one that will - these days they are all sensitive to losing balances!
Q: In a 100% equity portfolio would 75% CRBN and 25% ZLB be considered "diversified enough"? I'm trying to remove oil and gas as much as possible while still having reasonable fees.
Q: With the speculation that a recession may occur in the next year or so and given the current downward trend of interest rates, what are your views of buying/holding preferred share etfs like zpr and hpr ? Thank-you
Q: Hi,
Jeff Tonkin, CEO of Birchcliff Energy (BIR-T)was on BNN-Commodities show this morning and discussed a recent change with TC Energy for buyers of Canadian Nat Gas to now be able to put their gas into storage year round as they are not required to have fixed and interruptible transportation. He said this puts a floor on the natural gas pricing. Do you agree and do you see this as significantly contributing to BIR-T and other nat gas producers bottom line and ultimately increasing their share prices? Thanks
Q: Not sure if anyone has already asked but my question is should I tender my shares for Blackstones planned acquisition of subject. Obviously Blackstone must feel they can do good things with it and the premium offered is not overly generous.
Q: Often, you have people like Richard this morning, writing to you about advice they've received from their brokers that doesn't make sense. One must bear in mind that the people answering the calls are at a call-centre, and some are more knowledgeable than others. When I get a response that sounds iffy or doesn't make sense, I call back a bit later, get someone else on the phone, repeat my question, and more often than not I get a totally different answer.
Q: i am considerably down on my shares of dhx. i have recently been offered warrants which expire november 15, these warrants would give me approx 533 shares at a price of 1.67, or i can sell the warrants any recommendations? brenda
Q: They issued guidance yesterday that sounds promising. This is an American healthcare company that lists on the Canadian venture exchange. The press release says they are exploring a US listing in 2020. There may be a nice buying opportunity here, before they list in the US. Viemed is a similar stock that comes to mind. Largely ignored on the Cdn exchanges until the Americans started buying. One that bears watching.
Q: Would you please evaluate their recent acquisition in terms of the dilution of shares debt and what it might mean to future earnings and would you recommend adding to a small position? Thank you.
