Investment Q&A

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

Q: How do you view the recent results of McCoy (MCB)? I had asked a previous question on them and you suggested that investors may be waiting for the next results. Think these results will tweak some interest?

Thanks.

Q: Hi,

I'm a long term investor. Why did you choose Enbridge for your model portfolio over TransCanada or IPL? Would this be a good time to add it to my portfolio or do you see further weakness in summer?

I'm also looking for an oil/ gas stock as a long term hold, preferably with dividend. What do you think of High Arctic Energy or do you have a better idea?

Q: A Scotia report this morning on Inter Pipeline (IPL) suggests that perhaps the company may struggle going forward to justify its premium valuation. The suggestion is that IPL's oil sands
transportation system will continue to increase value; however, other areas of the business may be challenged. In other words, the future is unclear. Your thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, Can you explain the difference averaging down vs. averaging in? For explain I bought 500 shares of AVO at $27 a few weeks ago and I bought 250 more shares at $21 on the initial dip. Was this a bad strategy?

Averaging down didn't work out too well for investors in Nortel or Blackberry.
