Investment Q&A

Q: The proverb about our hometown life giant goes …
“ don’t buy Great West Life's funds, just buy their stock "

This WAS a "put-away stock” ( added to through the decade ) .
Now our investment has been seriously eroded due to my non-reaction to Brexit.
Listening to David Baskin’s comments on bonds and lifecos , perhaps I should trim the sector anyways .

Does one sell GWO here , or is the plunge an over-reaction that we should ignore ?

Thanks you

Please give me your top 3-4 companies in each sector that you think would provide a nicely balanced sector representation in both the industrial and info tech sectors. As always, thanks in advance for your much appreciated guidance.

Q: Hello, please give me suggestions for a few(4-5) income stocks with moderate risk, for a long term hold in a TFSA account.

Q: MRE's second quarter results met analyst expectation but the stock sold off for several days (I realize that analyst downgrades likely contributed). May I have your thoughts on the quarter and future prospects, please?

Q: Good morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Apparently Enron has reared its ugly head once again. This article from the Globe and Mail describes a lawsuit announced by the Alberta government:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/alberta/e-mails-reveal-how-albertas-enron-clause-was-orchestrated/article31303953/

From the article, "The court action names Enmax; TransCanada; and Capital Power. It also names electricity generator Atco Ltd., the Balancing Pool, which is a public body, and its own power regulator as defendants. The court case is slated for November."

Enmax isn't a publicly traded company, but the other two are. (I don't own either). Are there any other companies that may be impacted from the fallout that will occur from this lawsuit? I'm thinking of AQN and FTS as examples.

As always, thanks for your insight.

Q: Hi, Could you please comment on PBH earnings ? They did mention of slowdown in Alberta and Saskatchewan and an issue with major product launch, any future impact, in your view? They also seem to reaffirm a strong full 2016 year ! Thanks

Q: I bought enerflex when it went down, thinking it would pop back up and i would sell it. It took a bit of time but i finally have a ptrtty good profit from it. At the time i asked a question about efx and you said that if there was a sustained turnaround it might be interesting. Do you think it might be worth waiting to see whether this is that sustained turn around? Or, should i take my profit and run?
Thanks Peter, Ryan and team
