Investment Q&A

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

Q: Can you give me your thoughts on Counsel Corp, CXS, poor performance in the past few months and it's outlook going forward. All my other financial stocks, CM, BNS, TD and HCG have done well but CXS has mystified me despite reasonably good results last quarter.
Also I got shares of HGP as part of their special dividend and while I would like to sell these shares the price changes from day to day but my discount brokerage account shows no trading activity. Why is that?

Q: BPO.PR
Hi There
I hold approx equal amounts of the L and R series (~1.5% of each).I am thinking of selling R and buying more L with the proceeds, for higher current and reset yields and shorter time to reset.
Am I missing something, as the yields appear not to be what you might expect?
Thanks as always

Q: Re: SCL.TO
Shawcor had a great run recently,not so coincidentally the company is preparing to raise capital. Maybe the company is just preparing for some acquisitions or expansion. The valuation seems like is not very rich consider the company's position in its area. I have a position with 35% gain. So what's your take?

Thanks!

Q: Could you compare Morguard( MRC) and First Capital Realty (FCR)? They both get a B+, and have very different client bases and dividends.

Do you have any concerns about FCR being a mall landlord in times when e-retailing is on the rise?

Thank you all! I wish we could get such straight talk from our politicians!
