Investment Q&A

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

Q: Further to my prior question about allocating stocks to multiple sectors, how would you assign the following? I know this is 'not a science', but I think it will give me a better idea of my sector distribution.
TCL.A Cons Disc:Industrial
CCL.B Cons Disc:Industrial
NFI Cons Disc:Industrial
MG Cons Disc:Industrial
LNR Cons Disc:Industrial
TFII Cons Disc:Industrial
EIF Industrial:Financial
AQN Utilities:Energy
EMA Utilities:Energy
MX Mining:Energy
T Telecom:Healthcare
PSK Mining:Financial
TRI Financial:Cons Disc

If you think that other sectors should be included here, please add them.
Thanks again, and please deduct questions as you see fit.

Q: Enb in my portfolio has a book value of $42.16
And a yield of 7%. It now represents 10% of my portfolio. This my largest position in a portfolio of $630000. I generally buy for dividend and growth. Maybe I should reduce my position in ENB and take a 5% position in another dividend paying stock with growth potential. eg. CM or other opportunities. Any suggestions.

Q: Hey, I would like to compare the relationships between short position on these two companies? From this question board the short on Bad in March 2018 was about 7.8 million shares. What is Bad's current short position? Bad share value today has increased dramatically. Eif share price has shown a substantial increase YTD and is at about a two years high. What is the short on Eif today?
I realize the only thing in common they have beside being heavily shorted is they both pay a dividend and have also been bashed by God's gift to all things Canadian, who has been wrong on so many of his calls. He has now taken to pumping stocks. Thanks for all your support eh. Regards

Q: Hi 5i,
Just some additional comments following on Scott’s question about the latest issue of EIF debentures. EIF is a serial issuer of convertible debentures. This issue will likely trade as EIF.DB.K when it hits the exchange and the timing of the issue suggests that its purpose is to fund the redemption of the EIF.DB.G debentures, for which EIF will soon be issuing a redemption notice. The series G debentures have had a 6% coupon and have been trading in the money (share price above $31.70) for a good chunk of the past couple of years. The new issue technically extends this portion of EIF’s debt financing out to the new issue’s maturity date, March 31, 2026. However, anyone considering holding EIF debentures should be aware that they routinely ‘hard call’ their debentures, for an early redemption at par, typically about two years before maturity. For example, the actual maturity date on the series G debentures isn’t until March 31, 2021. To obtain the existing premium, current holders of the series G debentures will need to convert them into common shares at $31.70 or else sell them into the market before the redemption date. Cheers!
