Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi Guys: I hold an Altagas Preferred (ala.pr.e) which is down significantly over the last year. I hold it principally for the yield so I am not too bothered by the drop, unless of course I begin to believe that the company will have to default on its debt obligations. This seems (to me at least) a pretty unlikely scenario, notwithstanding all the current drama with its debt and stock price etc. Please give me your opinion in this regard. With thanks, Don

Q: I am trying to clean up my portfolio a bit by reducing the number of holdings. For the fixed income portion I have 5 different bond funds (CBO, XBB, XHY, CVD, HYGH). Is there enough overlap with either of these that I should consolidate any, or would you suggest any different ETFs to simplify the fixed income portion of my portfolio?

Q: The "street" appears to dislike the Encana purchase announced today. Is this transaction that bad for the Encana stock?
The sell-off is certainly significant and does this represent a worthy entry point?
I also keep hearing that gas stockpiles are far below historical levels and with the cold weather around the corner would this have any positive impact for Encana?

Q: Hello, my question is regarding WEED, can you shed some light on Constellation brands investment and warrants it has that can potentially allow them to become over 50% owner and what affect that could have on the stock if they exercised them. Their most recent investment August 15th was at $48.60/share, when I see this stock drop below that price I feel as though I should buy it... would that large investment at that share price technically limit the downside of WEED? Do the warrants to purchase more shares limit the upside? Thanks for your guidance.

Q: If you believe (do you?) that this correction is largely over and you wanted to put more money in the market.

At this point in time, which 6 stocks in the US and which 6 stocks in Canada to you think have the most upside with the help of the recent sell off?

Q: Hi 5i
I sold the above for a tax loss. 6 of the 8 are down since with FTS and ECN slightly up.
The 30 day period is almost up. How many of these would you consider buying back in the hopes that their share price will increase. I have a longer time horizon.
Thanks
Jeff

Q: Earnings 52 Week Low
Yield (%) Price % Diff
Badger Daylighting 6.7 22.37 15.90
CCL Industries 5.3 52.01 5.59
Methanex 8.7 62.30 28.27
I'm looking at buying one of the above companies. Based on today's stock price, I am torn between what is a more useful metric, Earning's Yield (MX) or 52 week low (CCL.B) or a combo approach (BAD) for an entry point. In your view which metric is more relevant for a 5 year investment horizon?
