Investment Q&A

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

Q: Technology is really taking a hit at the moment which is focused I believe on Trumps attitude towards goods being produced out of country.
This may or may not provide a buying opportunity, and could you please shed some light on my thinking. Does CCl.B produce goods abroad.
Thanks for your info

Q: Why not consider nmx as a mining company that has a solid functioning mine , is fully cashed up, is building a production facility that will be complete in late 2017 or early 2018, has sold 50% of the initial production at I assume a profit? Should this be the case why will it take decades for this co. to get anywhere. After meeting the CEO at a function almost exactly a year ago I got into this at 30c. Can you look at the financials on this co. and its realistic prospects and give an investment thesis . PS I think the comments you make at various market crises are very important to your individual investors. Do not hesitate to continue them Thanks as ever

Q: As a retired income investor, I own TRP (3.7%), ENB (3.5%), ENF (0.7%), PPL (1.7%), IPL (2.8%), ALA (3.7%) representing ~16% of the Canadian investments across all my accounts (registered & unregistered).

I am uncertain whether I should continue to hold all of these because the overall percentage is too high. Keeping in mind that I need income, should I perhaps cut the 16% down to ?? or is it fine to continue with this percentage? Which are your preferred picks for a longterm hold?

Should I rationalize down to 3 or 4 of these names or cut percentages of specific stocks? Do you view any of them as especially risky?

(Canadian banks and telcos represent 24% and 10% respectively of my Canadian investments.)

This may count as another question which is fine:
• Have you any insight into the geographies served by the smaller pipeline companies?
• Is there any likelihood of acquisition/ merger activity between them or with TRP or ENB or ?

Thank you 5i, as always!

Q: I am break even in my holding of STN in my RRSP account. It had a large gain today and reports tomorrow. I am considering selling that position and trading into a stock in the same sector, such as NFI, WSP or MDA, all of which have had recent pullbacks. What would be your recommendation for my RRSP?
Thanks, Peter
