Investment Q&A

Q: Team,

Athena down 10% today, Valeant down 5%, both on no news..... I'm thinking this is all the healthcare sector rotation you've hinted at, however, Concordia Health is up 5%? I'm so confused... I own all 3, is this just random market activity?

Q: Hello Peter and Co.
In the Industrials/Transports sector of my RRIF portfolio, I only hold Chemtrade Logistics and CNR; I was thinking of adding either CCL or WPK (leaning towards the latter) and also CAE.
Your opinion is most valuable

Q: Hi,

What could be the reason CXR and GUD went up when all the pharma stocks were being hammered. Also, I own ENDP, PLI, MSL and CXR. Is 15% position in these stocks too much. Also is it a good idea to sell a position if it goes up 15% in a week or less.

Q: Hello 5i team
I have owned Cenovus since it was split from EnCana. Whilst it pays a dividend it has been a disappointment growth wise. Is there any hope that it will move higher like CNQ. and Suncor or is this dead money? Can you recommend a stock in which to redeploy? I own 1000 shares. I already have a small position in Tourmaline which I could add too.
Thank you David.

Q: hello 5i:
Concerning AGU: Three quarterly missed earnings in a row is cause for concern (for me at least, and I believe I read somewhere that for you as well). Now, they have problems with their Daysland plant. I've sold (at a profit) as I've lost confidence in the company to execute. I still like the space but am cautious about POT. Can you suggest options, even if they are in the US? btw, I'm a GARP guy, if that helps.

Q: Would you generally agree with the gist of the following comment made by Genevieve Roch-Decter,Portfolio Manager LDIC Inc on BNN this week. If so, would most of the Cdn infrastructure/service/pipe cos highly benefit from this trend, specifically ALA, BAD, BDI,GEI, MCB, HNL, KEY, IPl, PPL? Thank-you. "We are in the early innings of an energy investment super cycle that will see nearly $1 trillion in spending by 2025 and over 1 million jobs created. These are numbers published by the American Petroleum Institute on a study they did in December. Last year there was about $90 billion spent in North America on energy infrastructure and we are only a few years into this super growth phase".

Q: Hi,

My husband and I own about 70% of the stocks in your equity portfolio plus a few U.S. stocks. We have no fixed income and would like to start adding it from your income portfolio.

We plan to only add the ETFs, but don't have the money for all 5. We can probably only buy 3 right now, maybe a 4th next year. Can you rank them in the order we should buy them? We are looking for stability since we are so heavily invested in equities, but also for some income.

Also, we just sold a U.S. Stock and we have our acount set up on auto wash so that it keeps the proceeds from the sale in U.S. Funds. We are thinking of busing a US ETF for the S &P as we already have a mid cap IWO. Can you recommend any S &P indexes trading on the U.S. exchange, rather than Canadian?

Thanks so much,

Carla

Q: Hi Peter & Team,
Which of the following: PPL, VSN, KEY, ALA & GEI would you recommend for the most growth?
I would like to invest about $5,500
Thanks,
Morris
