Investment Q&A

Q: Given the recent dividend cut and share price decline, is AQN now a viable takeover candidate? I understand that an asset manager had acquired as small stake recently that gave them some seats on the board and they are pushing for change. The PB is cheap but they have a lot of debt. What is this company possibly worth per share if all debt was paid off?

Q: I am retired and invested in the following corporate class ETFs in an effort to reduce income from non-registered accounts: HBB, HULC, HXCN, HXDM, HXQ, HXS, HXT and HXX which I do not plan to tap into over the next five years.

I have allocated roughly 9% to HBB, HXCN, HXQ, HXS and HXX and 18% to HULC, XDM and HXT.

How would you revise these percentages for optimal allocation in terms of diversification in view of the current and anticipated market conditions?

Any suggestions in terms of other corporate class ETFs I should be looking at ?

Q: Hello 5i, I own Crew in a cash acct and TOU in my RSP acct I think if I take the shares they would go into the RSP acct but not sure as I do not want more shares in my RSP. Could you comment as to if Crew shares will pay a dividend or special dividend ?
I would like your opinion as to sell Crew shares now or wait to see if TOU shares increase in value over the next 2 month's.

Q: Thanks for answering both of my questions on ATS and BYD earnings. In reviewing past answers on these 2 companies it seems to me that this in not the first 'disappointing' quarter they have had.

They seem to be in a slump on earnings and in performance which naturally follows.

ATS -31% year to date and -30 for 1 year.

BYD -18% year to date and -3% for 1 year.

Both significantly lagging the S&P and QQQ.

How much longer will you give these 2 in your portfolios before they are replaced?

If you were to replace them today with good quality US stocks with good performance numbers, which would they be?

Thanks


Sheldon

Q: Hi

Just wondering if you have any insight into Pan American's recent weakness. Their Q2 results looked decent with an improving margin and fairly good free cash flow. As well, the guidance provided in the MD&A remained consistent with prior guidance.

Perhaps the stock was overvalued relative to the current commodity pricing?

Thank you

Q: Could I have your opinion on PFE earnings please. I see from your notes that Pfizer is not your favorite; could I have your view on its recovery potential please from what appears to be a depressed level.
