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 & Team,

Your latest report on MDA ends with "We believe the lack of cooperation in the shares needs to be reflected with a downgrade in the rating."

Given that your last report for KBL gave it an A- rating, and it isn't performing as well as in the past, if you were writing a new report for KBL, would it also be downgraded a notch or two?

We hold KBL in several accounts, and I'm contemplating a switch in at least one account, but welcome your valued advice, as always, before making any moves.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I will not be offended if you choose not to answer this question...firstly it is a USA company and secondly it is a contrarian play. In having owned oil stocks during this downturn I am painfully aware of the risks involved. I am analyzing this company which has hugh upside if it can survive another year or two. They are being kicked out of the S&P600 on Oct. 3rd to be replaced by a healthier company. Since they are owned by mutual funds I expect there will be a further sell off. So how would you rate there survivability...there balance sheet, management strength and overall impression of this company within there sector.
Thanks for tackling this out of bounds company...
Respectfully yours...

Q: Yesterday, is was reported that Artis is "looking to sell retail and industrial assets in Alberta worth about C$300 million ($227 million) to diversify away from the oil-producing province"

This was not a corporate release. As an investor would have prefered to hear they had sold, rather than they are trying to get out of Alberta. In fact, I hate the idea that they are trying to unload Alberta assets now -- sounds like 'buy high sell low'.

Do you believe that they are is such a precarious state that they must unload these assets now? Would you be a buyer or seller of AX.UN now?

Q: Hi 5i team,

I have Nxpi semiconductor stock in both registered and non-registered accounts both with positive gains. With the news of a take over what would be the best approach going forward. How do I know when to sell, do I wait for a formal offer as the news appears that they are only in talks with qcom at this point in time. I am thinking of putting the non registered US dollars into Oclaro Oclr-q.

Thank you
Mike
