Investment Q&A

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

Q: A Sept. 09 2014 report from Veritas is recommending a Sell of Magna (MG) suggesting that their returns are going to be disappointing over the next 3 years. What are your thoughts on MG? I have owned for about 9 months, and was hoping to hold onto it for about another year or so. Do you think it is a stock that is still worth holding onto? It is about 2.5% of my portfolio. Thanks.

Q: Prairie Sky (PSK): what is your opinion of the new issue and their planned use of the funds? Now that the price is down in the $36.50 range, would you consider this a purchase, for income. Do you view the dividend as sustainable and is there any chance of an increase in the next year or two? How do you think PSK would fare in a market correction relative to conventional O/G producers?

Thanks, Grant

Q: Hi Guys
SVC (Sandvine) is down so far today. Do you think this is a good entry point? There is some share buyback happening and a few good orders/contracts for the company and they have some cash. Also I am hoping to know why the quick drop of 10%. Is it because of overreacting traders? What is your opinion please. Thanks as always for the great things you do.

Q: I have some SPB and I am considering buying more. However, I have a general bias against companies which have diversified divisions. I think that companies should stick to their core business. I could expand on this bias. Do you agree with this bias and, if so, is it a concern in the case of SPB?

Q: Hi guys,can you give me your opinion of "GWG". I've held it since 2011 at a cost of about 0.88 cents even averaging down further wouldn't bring it closer to my cost if there is no hope for the company. Is it worth keeping or would you sell? Thanks, Nick

Q: BYD, SJ, LNR & VET are all currently below their ascending trend line as well their 50 day moving average. Is this a good opportunity to increase my positions in these companies? Is their a reliable technical indicator to take out some of the guess work of adding to good companies? Please do not reply that this is not a factor to someone with a long term perspective. Thank you for your insight.

Q: On your latest blog "Value Stocks with Momentum", I am a bit confused with the company IBG.TO. My records shows that this company does not issue a dividend. Is this correct or not? Tnx

Q: To add to our income portfolio we are looking at purchasing BEP.UN and have read your favourable comments and 2013 report. We look at Google Finance, Morningstar and the TMX site and are a little confused by the very different numbers for eps, P/E,etc. Google Finance has a P/E of 102.27 and an eps of .31. The quarterly dividend is .42. ie not a very good payout ratio? Morningstar publishes a P/E TTM of 17.5. What is P/E TTM? Are you still favourable toward owning Bep.un.as a long term hold for income? Many thanks, Len
