Investment Q&A

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

Q: Parkland announced a $300 million Senior Notes Offering which will be used to fund a portion of the CST assets. The announcement said that it has entered into an underwriting agreement to sell, pursuant to a private placement, $300 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% senior unsecured notes due September 16, 2024. The offering is expected to close on September 16, 2016.
After issue, do notes trade like an equity stock? If not, please explain "notes".
What is your opinion of this offering? Would it be a good holding in an RRSP which must soon convert to a RRIF.
Thank you.

Q: Recently the media was awash with implied heavy concerns around the supposed losses the CDN. banks would be reporting this week and next. They said so while trying to impress an implied authority. The media even went so far as to create a reason.

I had to try and stop laughing once again at the business media in general, so as to be able to type this post, as it once again showed that it basically is a comedy show and of little value to investors. At least when it comes to predictions.

I often wonder if the media have to work and prove their metal at SNL 1st (Saturday Night Live).

So far all of the banks that have reported have provided growing if not all time high revenues, earning, profits....

Q: I find the most difficult thing to do is buy hold or sell lol!
I bought ESL at around $66 a share--having never owned it in the past. I am holding on and with the contract they just received and momentum I think I should average down. You prefer averaging up but when a good company starts showing signs of strength should we not average down and lower the cost base?

Q: Hello,
I am interested in the "water" theme. There are a couple of stocks in reading your reports that appear to me to be sound investments re. this theme and both are well rated. Would you consider good choices from the stocks you follow for this theme? If so, are they buys at this time or would you wait for a pullback? If there are better names I should consider, I would appreciate you letting me know.
Thanks,
Dan

Q: My wife and I each have 15000 in contribution room for our TFSAs. Thus far we have chosen more aggressive growth companies (such as KXS,GUD,SIS,NFI among others) based on your excellent recommendations. Can you suggest a few companies with potential growth but with a bit more size/stability than our existing choices. For example, we have considered FTS but are not sure if its growth profile is an appropriate fit for a TFSA. Thank you for your advice.
