Q: Re: Question concerning recent performance of EDG180, Feb 11, from John.
I note that EDGPOINT came about toward the tail end of the 2008 market shock and that they therfore had an excellent starting point for their funds to perform. Is it possible that this serendipitous beginning might somewhat explain their longer term results and that perhaps their more recent performance which "has indeed slipped" might actually be the norm?

Q: Utilities seem to go parabolic since December 2018 with no sign of slowing down. Since interest rates seem to remain low for a foreseeable future, is this a new secular trend emerging from improved interest in green energy. ZUT in particular includes many renewable power generator companies. So I basically have 2 questions: If this is a new secular trend should one increase their utility allocation ? 2: Is there still life for oil and gas companies ?

Q: I intend to diversify away a bit from the Brookfield family as I already have BEP.UN and BIP.UN.

Within my RRSP I intend to sell BYP.UN and am interested in buying AW.UN. It appears that A & W's debt is under control. Dividend growth appears to lack a bit of consistency though.

How good is their management?
Would you expect about 7 or 8% total return going forward?
Morningstar Fair Value is about $35. Would you agree?
Would a 5% position be too much for this type of stock if we were to go into a recession?
Do you have any concerns over the 20% drop from its highs?

Thanks.

Q: We have the following in our RESP: ABT, BNS, NFI, ENB, TRP, PIF, MX, and BEP.UN and ~$4,000 in cash. The grandkids are now 6 and 5. As you can see, no particular philosophy has been at work so far. What might you suggest adding to the mix? Is there anything that should be sold?

Thanks, Bob.

Q: Hi Peter,
Do you agree that since around October 2019 CGY's share price chart seems to show strong momentum with good share price increases along with increasing volume especially this February? I used to own CGY some years ago for the dividend but found the share price stable...not many drops and few increases and sold the stock. I characterized the stock then as an income stock which I think agrees with your analysis. Do you feel anything has changed at CGY's operations or company management since October 2019 to have caused the stock to act more like a momentum company? You have noted in previous questions that their debt is higher but the dividend has not been increased and the share count is unchanged. Am I to understand they are borrowing more money to invest in their business and would that this growth in business be the cause of the better momentum? Their business seems to be related to satellites so would you consider CGY to be a high tech company?
Thanks for all your help.
Jim
