Investment Q&A

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

Q: Somebody asked about keeping note on some of your questions. I keep a record (for my personal use) in Word by copying and pasting a question and answer so that I can check the list at a later date. Currently I have 6 pages.
Publish if you wish.
Keep up the excellent work. Thank you

Q: Hey Team :)

What is the point of price targets on stocks when in my experience the price targets are often miserably out of whack with what the security is trading for in real time? How does this practice continue without vehement discussion? And given the often ubiquitous price mismatch why does anyone give analysts price targets any credibility? Can we take anyone's price targets, valuations seriously?

Q: Hello 5i
I wondered if you could give me a brief explanation of how CSU manages their debt structure. Looking at their balance sheet it appears odd to me that they have so much short term debt and not enough current assets or earnings to cover it. I do see where they have issues debentures as a source of capital, but I would just like a better understanding of how they are currently funding their debt and how it will be done going forward.
Thanks,
Randy

Q: Good morning on this cold winterday...hope you are all thinking warm thoughts...Bombardier suspended its dividend.( Naiive question...Is a suspension as bad as a cut?) I happen to hold a tidy sum in this stock...I bought it low, so I am wondering if I should just hang on...its train section is quite good. Do you think that they will split into two separate companies..train and plane? Your insight is appreciated as always. Thank you Tamara

Q: Good morning,
Time for my wife and I to make our TFSA contribution and in that regard I am wondering if I should stick with splitting between BTE & TRP which are the only two holdings in our accounts from day one or branch out and add another growth equity to the mix.
Thanks.

Q: I am trying to build a portfolio (total size about $110k) finally after 13 years of playing blindly and losing money every year and I am trying to flirt with diversification as well with positions ranging from 1% to 6%(excluding any financials and SIN stocks for religious reasons). I have the following current holdings. Can you let me know if I am diversified by sector and whether I am taking on too much risk. What would you recommend adding should I get rid of and what can I add? You don't have to do a detailed review and a brief answer will suffice. Thanks
