Investment Q&A

Q: I have a question about Legend Power systems.
I read basic facts about the company and like to consider very small exposure.
When Is the company expected to achieve break even and start generating profits?
Is this sector profitable ? What would be the rough profit margins for industry or similar companies?

Q: I was surprised to see the statement in your answer to Umed that shorts can only go down 100%. I had always understood that longs' exposure can only be 100% but shorts' exposure can be virtually unlimited. Have I misunderstood?

Q: If you could only own one of these, which one would you choose for safety of the dividend and growth potential of the stock price? Thank you.

Q: Canaccord has identified CanadianTire as one of their top 10 dividend stocks.

2 questions here:

1. Is there any information as to the sales volumes and comparable profitability between their 3 major divisions: Canadian Tire stores, Marks Work Wear House and Sport Check? And if so, projected future numbers.

2. Would you agree with Canaccord's opinion?

Thanks.

Q: If one was to buy a couple of natural gas stocks, what would be at the top of the list?
As always, thanks..

Q: Hello Peter,
With the increase in interest rates, i was expecting Sunlife and Manulife to go higher but they have dropped. Any comments? I want to increase my weighting to 5 percent for Enbridge and Alimentation Couch Tard but both stocks are not responding well eventhough Alimentation had good results. Would 5 percent be too much? Also, if you had a choice between fairfax africa and india, which one would you prefer and finally, I was thinking of Jean Coutu for a 5 year hold. Can you see it doubling in 5 years? Lastly, all the stocks that the shorts went after have not really recovered (CXR, HCG, CRH, etc). What does this say about the analysis that was done by various managers including ones on BNN? I am not blaming anyone but it is discouraging that the shorts were right. Thank you

Q: Looking for some energy exposure and would like your opinion on CEU.

Q: I invested in Methanex as a longer term investment but must admit that I do get frustrated by the volatility of the share price. More and more it seems like a trading stock as opposed to a longer term hold. About four years ago the shares were trading at today's prices with lots of downs and ups in between.. Definitely not a positive long term trend. Can you comment on this please with your thoughts as to why this company's shares should be held over the next 2-3 years. What is different now compared to the last four years?

Q: I own both IPL and ENB in the same account. I would like to sell one and add the proceeds to the other one. Which stock do you recommend that I sell?

Q: I currently owner PONY and I'm down almost 50% on what I own, it only represented 3% of my portfolio when purchased, I'm thinking of averaging down on it, is that a good idea or not.
I've been looking at Neo Lithium for a few weeks now and was thinking of purchasing some and wanted to know what you think of it if you follow it at all?

Q: Vsn has hovered in the 17's for quite awhile with the cash price of 18.85.Could you comment

Q: Can I get your assessment on Enercare? BMO Investorline has it as an undervalued company with a potential 1 yr return of 40% and yet it shows a pe of 39%. Your thought please..

Q: Good morning
I have not seen any reports on Canada's economic boom. I am wondering what the key drivers are to spur almost almost 4% growth per quarter this year so far?
Thank You
Clarence

Q: I'd appreciate your opinion of the effect the new Canadian Tax Laws will have on our Small Cap Technology Stocks.

Q: Hi there,

Q: Hi there
Love your service. I have held NWC for quite a well and like that it has a rather protected market in geographically isolated places, plus it's dividend and steady price.
I was thinking of adding to my position to bring it up to 5%. I would like your opinion of their recent earnings, prospects going forward and any thoughts on their damage in their Caribbean stores e.g. although some are damaged will their sales ramp up in the rebuild.

Thanks

Q: I would like to consolidate these three by choosing one. I am looking for dividend safety and some growth.

Q: Hi,

MCR had a nice shift up, likely due to the MOU with Kinder Morgan. I've hung on this long and feel like I should hang in there some more. Your thoughts?
