Investment Q&A

Q: Can you please give an updated opinion on VLE. It is not reacting well to the rising price of oil, Thanks

Q: Interested in a switch to bep.un from npi; your comments please.

Q: I also have a broker from a long way back where I have CSU and he is advising that with this convoluted system CSU has come out with that is intimidating to us older investors, my broker is telling me I will get approximately $400 in Principal amount of the Debentures and be debited approximately $530. Does that mean that I am getting $400 worth of debentures and pay $530 for them? I got the impression that I was getting money for this action CSU is taking. I do not know how many shares I have at the moment but those numbers will hopefully give you a rough idea. I am hoping I do not end up with another stock that operates in this manner. I will be waiting to hear from you before getting back to my broker. Thank you very much as usual.

Q: Anything new here. are they still drilling. If not, when do they start again. Thanks

Q: Could I get your comments on the Q1? Sales and EPS are up but what will it take to get this share price moving?

Q: Of these six industrial holdings, which three or four would be your favourites? (I focus mainly on the Balanced Portfolio.)

Thanks for all your insightful advice!

Q: Could you suggest some US dividend stocks that you think are a buy right now and that may do well over the next year. Thanks

Q: Regarding your answer to Peter, call me cynical but this company inexplicably began a steady decline a month ago, followed by a steep decline yesterday before the public announcement of the bought deal. It looks to my suspicious mind like some people had inside information and acted on that knowledge.

Q: I sent in a comment about this yesterday. You likely know already but now Mike Holmes is telling a live CBC, George Strombolopolus audience about the same investment opportunity and how he has made a lot of money. It appears a lot of people are jumping on this.

Q: Any reason for the significant selloff this morning?
Jerry

Q: Hello, what would be a good entry point for BKNG ?

Q: Thoughts on the quarter?
Thanks...Steve

Q: What's the reason for PXT's big 5%+ drop and big volumes today?

Q: Hello Team,

What do you like most about EIF and at what price do you think is attractive for accumulation?

Q: Can you please rank your top three Canadian utilities for overall performance over the next 3-5 years and explain why? On a related note (and I may be repeating myself), which would you recommend over the same time period and why: FTS or H?

Q: Hi - if inflation stays persistent and rates remain firm or a bit higher, what sectors would you favour? Has the market already identified this and they are they already outperforming? If not, what names would you recommend for purchase at their current prices?
As always, thank you for your insight.

Q: I am considering buying HXS.U and HXQ.U in my non registered account for tax purposes. When looking at the 5 year charts of these 2 etfs I noticed a very large drop in both of them on the same day. For example HXS.U went from $85.38 on June 28 2021 to $43.03 on July 5 2021. These drops did not occur in the BMO etf ZSP.U or ZNQ.U. These drops did not occur in HXS or HXQ on that day either.
What happened then? Is there a risk that it could happen again. To lose half of their value is quite a scare.
Thanks
Victoria

Q: Interest rates likely peaking and many real estate stocks are trading at discount. I am considering adding to real estate. Would you comment on this thought and suggest a stock and index.

Q: For tax efficiency in a non registered account do you recommend HXS and HXQ over ZSP and ZNQ. For US dollars do you like HXS.U and HXQ.U.
For a long term hold what are your thought of HXT in this account?
Thanks

Q: Could you comment on your confidence in the management of these three companies and execution of acquisitions? Would they compare at all or are even close to CSU management?
Thanks
Jeff
