Investment Q&A

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

Q: Sadly, I held on to my position and the share value has gone from bad to worse. I see it is now listed on the Venture. When and why did that happen? When do they report their fiscal year's results? Do you have any info on estimates? I know you removed it from your portfolio and gave a fairly negative assessment on their performance, but will ask any way...is there any hope for improvement once tax loss selling is done?
Thanks for your good service.

Q: Thank you for posting the model portfolios. I had to comment. Sometimes customers will complain about a stock pick or two, such as COV or, more recently, NFI. But with the income portfolio up 15%, growth up almost 31% and balanced up more than 20% this year, I really do not know what they are complaining about. Keep up the good work.

Q: Noticed that NFI is in the balanced portfolio and also in the Income one. Also the return has been very negative (-28%). However, it has a good dividend and a LTM plan behind the production of electric buses. Analysts at TDWaterhouse do no like it . In the last 5 months it seems that its price is making a base. Do you think that a contrarian approach could work here?, How would you rate its management ?, would it be worth to buy and hold the stock for 5 years ?, what is its biggest risk to make it underperfom ?, How safe is the dividend ?, Does it have a high debt ratio ?
thanks

Q: 5i
Oil represents about 5% of my portfolio and is comprised of Freehold, Vermillion, Surge and Whitecap. I cannot get a good feel as to where the price of oil is headed in the next 2 years. Appears to me there are conflicting views. Should I get out of the oil sector, invest in good dividend paying stocks that would be more stable and re enter the oil market or not at a later date. All my oil stocks do pay high dividends, are they sustainable. Appreciate your insight on both the oil market and potential stocks to invest in regardless of sector if you feel exiting the oil market may be the way to go.
