Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am quite happy with your service but I notice that you don't use stop losses, either mental or actual, which may have helped in the case of AHF and AVO. I do not own either, having sold my AHF some time ago. Any comment?

Q: Hi, I own a small position in AAB (Aberdeen International). I bought it at $0.36 a few years ago, and it has declined ever since. I pretty much consider it dead money, and was actually thinking of selling it. However, there seems to be activists trying to change things and oust the current board of directors (from what I understand). The share price did not really change on that announcement. I would like you views on the potential impact of this event on the share price. My thinking now is that I might as well hold on to see what happens, but I would like your views on this type of situation. Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hello, Peter and the team,

I hope you have had a restful week end. Reviewing my portfolio I noticed that I am under-weighted in IT sector (about 3% holding GIB.A), and am thinking to add either CSU or OTC. What do you suggest between them based on risk/reward point of view, or you have other name to suggest for one to two years of holding time? Thanks,

Lin

Wondering what your top picks would be in the healthcare space within Canada for the long term? I am interested in either an ETF (XHC,ZUH,FHH) or specific Canadian healthcare stocks).

Q: Boston Pizza has a royalty income fund that pays a generous dividend. Pizza Pizza and A&W have similar funds, also with generous dividends. What's your opinion on these funds, are they fairly safe and what do you think of the sector?

Thanks

Q: Could you please update me on Sierra Metals, I bought some about 1 1/2 years ago after asking you about it. It has fallen a lot today and in checking out I see a lot of negative comments about Alberto Arias (chairman and big shareholder) the comments are about his involvement with the Brazil Colossus mine where he was involved. Are the comments (on stock house billboard fair or just a disgruntled ex shareholder mad about loosing $) the stock looks good to me on Thompson Stockreports+. Thanks (Should I dump it or buy more).

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
My wife has Glentel shares in her RRSP account which, incidently, closely mirrors your Income Portfolio. Fortunately I had not yet purchased BCE shares for her account so the takeover of Glentel by BCE worked out great. Should she elect to receive all BCE shares in the hopes that, at the very least, she will get half shares and half cash ??? I really value your opinion on this subject. Thank you very much. DL
