Q: Hello, I was looking at entering a position in Terra Nitrogen Co (TNH) which produces nitrogen fertilizer products. It has a pretty good dividend and seems to be very undervalued. Also it seems to excel across most metrics (ROIC, ROA, etc).

A few reservations is that the gross margin is slowly decreasing over the past 5 years and that it is a master limited partnership. Is this different tax wise if I buy this through my RRSP account?

I already hold Agrium and wanted to also get into TNH for the dividend and valuation.

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Q: I recently purchased shares of Magna on the idea that the sector is simply oversold and given a 5 year time horizon is as close to a sure thing as there is in the markets. When I look at the US markets in particular there are a lot of still beaten down sectors. Automotives is one of them. In Canada I am having greater trouble finding these kinds of bargains, while in the US there are chemicals companies, consumer discretionary companies, oil refiners and even banking which are very cheap and all of which could make some very nice moves akin to the one made in the materials sector these last few months. Do you see any of these unloved sectors here in Canada and/or which of them either here or in the U.S. would you currently favour. Thank-you as always for your answer.

Q: Can I get your analysis on CCA? Thanks.
