Investment Q&A

Q: Would it make sense for New Flyer to buy Grande West? Do the 2 companies produce different types of buses?

Q: A hypothetical. If one had enough money to purchase the entirety of one of your portfolios, would you recommend an even percentage of each stock, or should one also look at the relative volatility of the stocks?

Q: Hello
My question is related to the vastly discounted price that Canadian oil companies are able to achieve for their product, with many analysts indicating they need to get it to either or both coasts so it can be sold for a better price. I would think that the rail companies are probably getting some of the oil to the coasts, and have to potential to move greater volumes even if more costly than pipelines. Are CNR or CP in the position to benefit form this need to move the oil to 'tide water'?
Thanks,
Brian

Q: On Jan 24 a member named Ron stated that CPX had a payout over 100 percent. You failed to acknowledge that this is incorrect information and could mislead other shareholders. On an AFFO basis the payout is approx. 50 percent, this is the common method of measuring ratios for this sector. Please comment.

Q: Good Morning All,
I've been watching AC retreat over the past few sessions. I have a half position. Do you think this would be a good time to top up to a full position?

Q: What are your thoughts on DHX.B? It has slid over the last few years but recently appears to be making headway over seas.

Q: I am wanting to sell partial positions in each of these. They have become dangerously overweight in my portfolio and am looking to take profits in order to reinvest in other companies/sectors -- either in Canada or US. ADRs would also be acceptable. While I see huge growth in the technology sector, I think I would like to move away from it, since my weighting in this sector is also "dangerously overweight" ... at almost 25%.

(It's hard to move away from something that's giving you such good returns!)

1. Which 3 stocks might you suggest for equal/similar torque?

2. What is a good weighting for the above stocks? All of them have reached the 7 percent range, and even to me it sounds a bit risky.

Thanks for your advice.

Q: I own some KKR, which has done well, and have been considering either purchasing more of this or investing in another alternative asset manager - possibly Blackstone Group, or Carlyle Group (CG on the Nasdaq, although I was unable to bring this up on your system). All continue to have very good runs. Does a purchase in this group make sense to you at this point? If so, is there one member of the group, or a related company, that you would recommend?

Thanks - Don

Q: This is a follow up on my previous question on this stock. The core of my question was: Why did it drop so much i.e 20% in the week following earnings? . I am asking because i do not understand why and am trying to understand what I own. That part was not answered.
Not in a state of panic.
Thanks.
