Investment Q&A

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

Q: I own 245 shares of REF.UN that I have held in a brokerage account for some time. They recommend that I sell for $50.00 now, and they would only charge 1/2 the commission. I understand that if the deal goes through I can take the option to sell at $53.75 with no charges. In your expert opinion, what are the chances of the deal falling through? If this happens the shares would likely fall back to the $42.00 range.
I do not want the CHP.UN shares, but I would like to sell all of the REF.UN shares.
I am wondering if the broker just wants her commission. PLease give me your expert opinion. Sell now or wait?

Q: Hi,
I had PLI in my TFSA as of yesterday. I sold it at an 80% loss. Is there any one good growth company that I can replace it with that would regain my losses? It's the only stock in my TFSA and it's a small position.
Thanks

Q: I hold both IPL (1.7%) and ENG (2.2%) in my portfolio. ENB has been hit harder over the last 12 months. Do you believe it will have a better recovery than IPL and if so, would it make sense to sell IPL and add to my ENB position. They would be no tax consequences.

Q: Could you comment on the buy-out proposal at $9.79 this morning. I would have expected the price to jump up to near that level quickly, which it has not (10 am). I hold a moderate position - would you sell or wait for more movement in the stock price? Electra has already raised its bid once, so this might be it.
Thank-you

Q: I understand that there are concerns about the Corus business model, going forward. However, its current price (around $5.80) seems extremely low considering its P/E and its dividend, even assuming a reduction in the dividend. Is it currently undervalued and worth a shot now or would it be wiser to wait until after the quarterly on April 5 to see if it's really in the tank? Essentially, do you think it truly is only a six dollar company or maybe not even that?
Thanks!

Q: A few questions if I may:

1. I gather that Preferreds are becoming increasingly rare and that they are concentrated in financial stocks. Is that also true in the U.S.?
2. Is there a site that lists or focuses on Canadian Preferred shares, or similar in the U.S.?
3. In a gradually increasing interest rate environment I assume it then follows that Preferred share prices would be under downward pressure?

Thank you!

Q: Hello,

It seems the market continues to be uninterested in the oil sector. If you were management in the oil sector, would you focus on production growth, yield, debt repayment, share repurchases, or something entirely different in an effort to increase shareholder value?

Regards,

Robert
