Investment Q&A

Q: Hi team.
The service companies have been hit quite hard due to the collapse in the oil price.However,canyon has a strong balance sheet,will be looking for acquisitions,stated that they will not cut their dividend.Would this company be vexed as a value play and if one was to purchase it now with a two to three year horizon,would it be to early or a safe bet?
Thank you

Q: Hi Peter & 5i team: After reading many of your answers to members it seems to me more or less the holdings in your model portfolios are for "hold" if no further news from you. Am I right on this? I prefer not to take cap gains and let it grow instead, but when the market comes to a correction my "strength" gradually goes down also and I had times resulted buy high sell low. Or at the end of the year I just rushed to take tax losses. I have a number of holdings from your model portfolios and the rest that your comments to members are positive. Also, my portfolios are well diversified. Any suggestions that I can do better? Or I just sit back and watch out any new comments from you on the 5i site? I am really impressed by your answers to members. Thank you for your wonderful service.

Thanks Peter for your advice

Q: HI Peter and Team,
I am worried about the drop in Dupont stock in the last few days. Should I set up a stop or sell this stock?
Thank you

Q: I hold ALP, NHC and CFL. Would you provide your views on these companies. I bought CFL at 2.65 and it has been falling ever since. Also, your earlier views on NHC were negative due to the management. Have your views changed after the resignation of the chairman. Thanks

Q: This stock has been falling relentlessly for several months, but most dramatically in the past couple of weeks. (It has already lost 2/3 of its value since I purchased it in October.) I understand that there is some oil/gas exposure, but the decline seems overdone. Do you have any explanation as to why this stock keeps tanking?
Thanks!

Q: They have pulled back quite a bit, with lower fuel prices what do you forecast for them?

thanks, Jean

Q: Hi Peter and team
You recently suggested WSP for an RRSP account. Since I have Stantec STN in a non-registered account. Stantec has been going down since Sep while WSP has been fairly stable. Do you recommend WSP over Stantec now?
Also would it be possible to have a "Heathcare" category added?
Thanks
Kathy

Q: Could you update your opinion on Dundee Corp. Is there a reason for the sell off or are their investments just out of favor? Are the Goodmans building the underlying value of their company?

Q: Hi,
Could you give me your opinion of AQN,s 1/4ly release, and your opinion of this company now that most of the mystery about the delayed report has been removed. Buy/hold/sell?

Many thanks

Q: Hi guys,

With the decline in energy prices, a number of business analysts and commentators are highlighting an opportunity of a lifetime in purchasing debt of mid cap energy companies in the near future. Can you explain how a retail investors would get exposure to this? Are they referring to new debt issues that will come from these companies given the stress that they may be under or existing debt that needs to be restructured? I assume the difficult part will be determining which companies will survive and which will fail.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Please explain what “cross currency swap” is and how will it affect AYA’s bottom line.

Q: There have been some announcements of companies deferring or mothballing major oilsands projects. Have the IPL growth opportunities in the oil sands deteriorated? Has the growth story at IPL taken a fundamental change for the worse?

Q: I'm thinking of buying some BNE. Do you know the current oil/gas production split, also, how do you view current debt level and is the dividend relatively secure?

Q: Down on results today, is this a buying opportunity? Thanks
