Q: I have been watching and warming up to this very small capp stock. Today it announced a 2nd quarter update.
My question is when companies do this "market update" does it set up an expectation that may dissapoint when actual results are released.
Also do you think this is an ok time to start a small postion or wait for next quarter results.
Thanks
John

Q: I am considering making a rather substantial (for me) investment in Energy Transfer Partners (symbol ETP). I am however concerned about the fact this is a USA Limited Partnership. I'm wondering if the distributions might be subjected to any withholding taxes or if I might find myself needing to file one or more USA Income Tax Returns, in the states within which the limited partnership operates? The investment will be made within either my RRSP, my LIRA or my TFSA account. I am considering investing up to $50,000.00 in this entity and so would very much appreciate any advice you may be able to offer regarding potential tax or regulatory hurdles I might face today or in the future, as a Canadian citizen making an investment in a USA domiciled Limited Partnership. Thank you.

Q: I am becoming interested in Enbridge as it gets close to 50 dollars. I was trying to find the payout ratio and I found it on a site it was paying out 102%. Is this correct?

Q: Hello!

What are your thoughts on Calfrac Well Service as as short term investment. The company enjoyed a pretty good rebound since the 2015 crash but now is trending at the 52 week low. Given the uncertainty and volatility of the oil prices do you feel like now would be a good entry point as some oil stocks appear to be oversold?

Regards,
