Investment Q&A

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

Q: Parkland has a history of growth by acquisition and currently seems to be digesting its the purchase of Chevron Canada's downstream assets. Your recent comments note it high debt levels due to acquisitions. But what are your thoughts about future acquisitions by PKI ? When might this take place and what are potential targets ?

Q: Can you please suggest a US$ stock that would be leveraged to an increase in the oil price? I am looking for a good, 5i-style company, but if possible, not necessarily a giant that doesn't have a lot of room to run. I appreciate you don't follow the US market but do let me know if there is something that you might be able to recommend.

Thank you,

Chris

Q: Maple Leaf Foods took a sharp hit at the beginning of trade, but has recovered somewhat, still down 3+% as I write this. How do you feel about them moving forward?

Separately, maybe a way to reduce the sheer volume of questions on the same company on a given day, is when selecting a company from the drop-down box, if 5i already has an answer 'in the works' the member can be prompted to wait to read the new answer before submitting his/her own, could take up to 24 hours, etc.

Q: Could you explain exactly what these two ETFs invest in? On their respective websites it appears as if ZFH is largely in government bonds or treasuries of some type (the scary term CDS shows up here), while MFT refers to "bank loans". Both indicate low to moderate risk, while at the same time showing virtually all investments rated at BB or less - below investment grade.
How do these ETFs compare to ZHY or XHY in terms of safety of principle and dividend sustainability?
Thank-you

Q: Hello,
I already have a full position(5%) on CSU but I used to hold Engh and Amaya earlier. The latter two have done well after being removed from the portfolio. I dont hold any of Engh or TSGI. I am torn between adding to my position on CSU due to the high confidence or to Amaya or ENGH? Sorry for this difficult question. Thanks. Regards, Shyam

Q: Looking for a US stock with a good dividend. I'm 80 so a little volatility is okay. I'm willing to hold for 3 years. If you had to pick one of the three which one and why or do you have a better choice?
Thanks

Q: I have recently inherited a portfolio of stocks heavily weighted towards the Canadian banks (RY, BNS, TD, BMO, NA, CM). About 30% of the portfolio is made up of these six banks and I am uncomfortable with the lack of diversity and high correlation.

Which two or three banks do you feel are the least attractive and therefore the best sell candidates?
