Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have roughly a 14% position in Altagas (ala), Pembina (ppl), and Interpipe (ipl), collectively. I was thinking of selling one entirely or part positions in all three and using a portion of those funds to purchase Shawcor (scl) which is trading around 12.45x 2015 earnings.

To make up for the lost dividend income, I plan on purchasing Sunlife (slf) as I only have a 1.85% exposure to the insurance sector (I have pwf).

Any thoughts? Thanks again, as always.

John

Q: This stock was beaten up badly during the last six weeks, as well DTX has more or less been a "flatline" case for about the whole year prior to the latest sell off.

Is DTX a good bottom fishing candidate, now that it has been beaten down enough, with perhaps some catalyst from the upcoming Q3 results and forward guidance?

Thanks.

Q: Just wondering if you guys had given any thought to doing an analysis report of Petrowest for members? It looks like a very compelling growth story on LNG and Infrastructure (SiteC). The company would seem to have a bright, long term growth profile. With the largest fleet of "yellow iron" in NEBC/ NWAL, it would seem to me that the story is just beginning. Thanks.

Q: Could I have your thoughts on Amica. It has declined roughly 10% in the past year. Do you think it's reaching a point where it may rebound, or is there something negative in the companies fundamentals? Thanks.

Q: Looking to stabilize my portfolio as I think there is a lesson to be learned from the recent market volatility. Looking forward I want to mitigate my risk by making wiser choices and not falling into the trap of trying to hit home runs. To help in this process I would like your opinion as to the 5 safest Canadian stocks outside of utility and energy stocks. Thanks in advance. Doug

Q: Ok, I know you do not really like trades, but what do you think about picking up some shares of Air Transat now and holding them until May/June and taking advantage of the winter busy season. It has worked in the past, a few times really well, others not as well but always made money. This is pretty speculative, and would be for the mad money part of my investments.
Thanks for your opinion.

Q: The markets have been quite strong the last few days, yet WSP is not participating. Today, for example, the stock was down while the market was up nicely. My concern is, if the stock is weak in a strong market, what happens when the market comes back down. For some reason, my impression is that this company is not well liked by investors. Any idea why and what might turn this around?

Q: I purchased MFC at 14.75 and it's now at 20.40 an increase of 38%. I have now read your article on how interest rates would affect MFC vs. SLF. Is it wise to switch to Sunlife @ 40.00? My theory is that the cheaper stock will have more room to run and that rates will not rise significantly for at least a year.

Thanks for all your advice

Q: What do you think of the current valuation of Mitel, its offer to purchase Shore Tel and its growth prospects over the next 3-5 years. Is it a buy with that frame in mind?

Thank you,
