Investment Q&A

Q: What is your opinion on this stock.

Q: Wondering about where to contribute and add to next . I have a TFSA and RSP self directed ( no unreg'd trading accounts )

Started investing in the TFSA 1st so my RSP is far behind it in $ levels . Now that I have contribution room , plus more on Jan 1 should i go with ..

Topping up EMA in my RSP , would be heaviest weighting if so with TD on top right now .
Topping up RY , NFI , MFC or NPI ( all being medium weight with TD and AQN on top )
Or adding BEP or SRU as new holding to either TFSA or RSP , leaning towards BEP myself .

Thanks

Q: I have been away for a few weeks and went back to listening to my business podcasts. One that I enjoyed tremendously is the National Post podcast on climate change. It’s great listening and I do love her co relation of the climate change situation and the hysteria about it to a Monty Python skit , the fact that a lot of people are willing to blame yet very few are willing to talk about solutions. Great listening and a great explanation . the link to the podcast.

Q: Hi,
A TD analyst is recommending IPLP with a target price of $13.50 in the next 12 months. At $7.63 today this looks like a very aggressive target. What is your view of this company and should one start a position? If so what % position would you recommend? Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
I have read through all the related q&a's and just wanted to ask this:

The conversion is slated for Jan. 1, 2020 and it seems likely to pass the shareholders vote in early December. Their press release mentions the change to a stock company will bring improved liquidity, more shareholders, more global investors (institutional) and it removes the limits on foreign ownership. These are all positives (sounds much like an IPO).
It seems fine to start a new position in it now, as opposed to waiting until after the transaction is completed. If it's going into a reg'd account, there's no tax issues with the conversion; and 1 unit now will equal 1 new share. So a fella can buy it now, correct?
