Investment Q&A

Q: I bought $10,000 Canam Convertible Debenture in November, 2011. Since then I have been receiving interest payments interest payments of $312.50 on April 30 and October 31. In October, 2015 I received a call from my broker that the bonds were maturing on October 31, 2015 and I had to decide to receive shares or $10,000 face value by October 23, 2015. I chose shares and received 833 shares on October 28, 2015, with a payment for factional shares and $234.38 interest credited on October 30, 2015. Even though I chose shares I believe I should receive interest right to maturity which would be $312.50. Do you agree the company made a mistake when crediting my account? I phoned my broker and told them that I thought there was a mistake. They gave me Canam Group's investment relations number and said to phone them with my problem. Before I phone I wanted to get your opinion on whether you agree with my calculation.

Thank you.

Q: Thanks for the best advise you giving to your members.

What are your thoughts on MRE results. I only hold 5% Linamar and sold Magna at higher price. Do you prefer MG or MRE or buy both. Is current price ok to buy. Do you know why CDV is trading at below offer price.

Q: Can you shed some light on why Enbridge has been beaten down the past few days? Is it a good time to add at these prices or do you foresee more downside. Thanks

Q: Do yesterday's results change your outlook for ACQ?

Q: Are you aware of any changes contributing to the jump in stock price today for GWO? Ian

Q: Is 5 percent sell off in trip an overreaction to likely keystone rejection, is it a buy opportunity? Thanks.

Q: down 9 % on week. good time to add or is this crude related and going to decline further.

Q: Hello,

Probably you are sick entire of question regarding WIN, but I really need to clean up the dogs. Not sure why management took the action they did, but I'm down 53% and I'm thinking selling it now for tax purposes and re-evaluate in a month. The thinking is that many people will dump the stock for tax losses.
Any (similar) dividend payers? Similar in value not behavior. I'm looking at DCI, XSR but if you have any other please let me know.
Is it better to have them in a RRSP or regular account?

Thanks
M

Q: Hi Peter & Team: Thank you for your reply re VSN, GWO & ZDV. My goal in all my portfolios is to let it grow and minimize cap gain and div tax if possible. I don't need income from it. Would your reply be still the same.

Also, the credit points in my account will be reset on anniversary date or it remains?

Thank you and have a good week-end.

Q: The other day, I listened to a webinar put on by the Motley Crew. They highly recommended Sierra as the next big stock in the Internet for all space. They also would give other recommendations if your subscribe to the service at a special price. To-day I noticed sierra down substantially, good thing I didn't buy in. What is your view on sierra?? Is it worth buying now?? or is this better left till it starts to becomes the star Motley thinks it will become??

Thank you

Steve

Q: Hello,

Do you think the yield is safe and would you consider a good time to re-enter the stock at current price at 7.80? I sold it last year for tax purposes.
