Investment Q&A

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

Q: AGF.B,which I have held for 5 years and doesn't really owe me anything on present price, keeps paying out the dividend despite apparently poor metrics and has even been rising for some time. Yet the market doesn't really seem to care. Is there something keeping it going such as a sale or might it be a good time to sell before it craters(it is only a small component of an income portfolio).
Thanks as always.

Q: Hello Peter,

I know that US company dividends are taxable like interest income in a non-registered account. Is it the same for capital gain?

Q: I would like your opinion of Trinity Industries TRN-N as a good industrial pick. The use of railcars in the oil business must be a real bonus to them. THANKS

Q: I've taken a 20% hit on Dundee (D.un). Andy Nasr said he would sell Dundee because the supply of office space in Toronto is poised to increase (an area of focus for Dundee). I realize many of the reits have been hit hard but is Dundee fundamentally flawed? I could sell d.un and buy HR.un or FCR to recoup losses when the tide turns more favourable for the sector. Thank-you.

Q: Peter:

re. Mitel Networks

Is there any catalyst for growth in the short - medium term ie. 3-12 months? Stock trades on both the TSX and Nasdaq ... is there any reason not to buy the stock on TSX ... I recognize that volumes are much greater on Nasdaq. Thanks for your insights.

re. ZCL Composites (ZCL-T)

What is your opinion of the investment merits of ZCL at this time? I need a small cap industrial to add to my growth-oriented small cap portfolio. Would this stock 'fit the bill'?

Q: CIBC [CM]. I've heard it said banks tend to revert to the mean over time, so that those that are under performing tend to 'pull up their socks'. With CM and National Bank [NA] having yields over 4% would they be good banks to build/expand a portfolio of banks around assuming that, over time, their yields will come down?
Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Q: Hello,

Previously I asked about a stock I hold Sucampo (SCMP) because the stock had decline 30% and I couldn't find a reason why. You kindly looked into the stock and concluded the same. Recent earning were good but didn't impact the stock price.

My question is, should you hold on to a stock that the market doesn't seem to like?
