Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi Peter,
I’m wondering if it’s possible to access your past comments made when you add or remove stocks from the 5i portfolios. Specifically, right now I’d like to be reminded of what you said regarding Hydro One, but it would be nice to be able to retrieve your comments on companies you pick but have not done reports on.
If such a tool isn’t available now, perhaps you might consider it at some point? Thanks a lot.

Q: Hello,
I have no Utilities in my registered portfolio and I am going to add one at a full position. I am likely holding it for 5 years, and my overall investment window or horizon is long-term at 20+ years. The dividend yield on all three of these stocks is over 4% which I like. None are currently 'oversold' on the RSI chart.
Three questions:
Is AQN still a reasonable buy even with a P/E of 26x?
Do you expect H to stay range-bound with a price in the low $20's because of their future planned share issues?
If you could recommend only one, for a younger person, which one do you like? (feel free to deduct 3 credits). Thx, Rob

Q: In your answer to a question from Oscar about Hydro One buying Avista, you said “We would be fine with the debenture issue, with the conversion price discounted to $21.40 to entice investors.” My question is as follows: Will individual investors be able to buy these Hydro One debentures when they are issued?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Q: First of all thank you for putting the "sectors" beside the names in your portfolios - that is much appreciated.

Could you please list the "utility" companies you like best in order or preference and could you state if it is "large" company or a "small" company.
Thank you
Margaret

Q: Good morning! I have some Hydro One that I purchased when it first went public. It's done okay-ish with the dividend but seems to be in a rut now and with another share offering announced, it seems like it won't be going anywhere anytime soon. I was thinking of switching it with Algonquin and wondered what you might think of that strategy? Thank you for all you do.

Q: I noticed you mentioned while FFH is a good company it is not one of your favourites. Would like a suggestion for a replacement.
Second question, with hydro rates in everyones mind and the thought Kathleen MAY DO SOMETHING, I was wondering what affect reducing hydro rates might have on the stock.Hard question to answer but appreciate your thoughts. What would you suggest as a replacement. I reply on dividends in my retirment and safety is also a concern.
