Investment Q&A

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

Q: Recently there has been some work done on distortions introduced by excluding stock based compensation from the financial statements. According to one London fund manager adding back $1.8 billion of compensation expenses actually places Intuit's P/E ratio at 43 rather than 28 times, which on the face of it seems worrisome. What is your take on this?

Q: NTR's SP has been hit hard of late. Is this just a usual market panic or there is substance behind this set back. I'm sitting on the sideline with some cash and is debating if I should add to my current position (still up almost 65%) or add to my DIR.UN position (currently at an 8% loss).

NTR currently yields about 3% and DIR.UN about 5%. However I'm more interested in growth and less so than yield. Your advice? Thanks.

Q: Do you know the reason that BIPC and BIP.un have been heading in different directions since the beginning of February. I thought that they were supposed to mimic each other. I own BIP.un for the yield in a tax sheltered account but maybe I should switch. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Q: When I checked my investment accounts today I was surprised to learn all my Shaw shares were sold. I don't recall being informed in advance that this would happen. Is this normal, not to notify, just do it.

Thank you.
