Investment Q&A

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

Q: Peter and Team:

A neither of these two companies are "traditional" lumber companies, I was wondering how they might be affected by the upcoming SLA unrest. Do you see tariffs imposed on these products if a deal is not met by Oct.?

Thank you as always

Phil

Q: Hello Peter, all of these CIX, POW and MFC have been on a down hill slid. My losses are 20% plus, should I keep holding them or should I take my losses and replace them. I like to have your advise, perhaps can recommend alternative replacements. Many thanks for your advise, regards, J.a.P. bURLINGTON

Q: Since you published your most recent report on March 8th. $51.6m of new equity capital has been raised by a fully oversubscribed bought deal at then current share price with about 765000 shares paid for by all directors and some senior officers. The new capital was apparently used to pay down drawn credit and despite the dilution share price has risen modestly. The Debt/Equity, Insider Ownership, Net Margin (probably got worse) and CR boxes in the sidebar in your report would probably all change. But the Fort McMurray fire has caused another $5m estimated cost to adjusted EBITDA, and I suspect you may regard the present condition of Newalta worse than 2009, which it survived. Bottom line - are you any more optimistic about survival than you were in your report?

Q: Hi
I'm looking for a handful of high yielding companies with a good balance sheet.
In what order would you rank the companies listed? Any other companies you really like that could also be included or preferred over these? Thank you.

Q: Recent news of mass closures by Caribbean customers of their Royal Bank accounts due to sudden imposition of service fees suggests to me that Royal Bank either doesn’t know or doesn’t care what its customers want. It sounds like an idea generated by greedy head-office bean counters with no knowledge of what is going on in the field. If retail banking is all about service, then once the reputation for customer service is lost, won’t the business inevitably suffer ? In your opinion is this event a “tipping point” for the Royal Bank, presaging a similar abandonment by Canadian customers ? Or will Canadian retail customers simply shrug and carry on with business as usual ?

Q: Hi, I'm replacing Prism Medical. What are your top 3 choices in this sector for income?

Would you consider AD as a health stock? It seems to have an interest in the medical field in Canada and the US.

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Team!! Your introduction to the Money Saver Magazine indicated that the investment advisers have to disclose all investment fees to their clients. Do we specifically have to ask for them, or will they automatically be sent to us? Happy Canada Day to all!!! Tamara
