Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi 5i:
I have not specifically bought any stocks as a play on US housing, but I'm thinking it may be time to do so. For possibilities I'm looking at Canadian lumber stocks, US home builders and US banks as sectors from which to chose. Do you have any advice? Of the US banks I've heard WFC suggested as the best housing play. Would you agree?

Q: Hi Peter

I have had exceptional success in buying positions in all 3 portfolios and to date have almost a full complement.

In the growth portfolio the following stocks got away from me, didn't seem to correct and therefore I don't yet hold. They are. GIX,PEO,CDV, and QHR.

I'm not asking you predict the future, so let me put it this way.... If you were in this position would you say to hell with it and buy at market open today or would you exercise patience as I have done to date and simply put in a bid and leave it there.

You opinions might vary per stock mentioned.

Thanks

Q: Given the uncertainty over Oil (in Alberta) and Provincial Govt (NDP, Royalty Reviews, etc) what do you think about Crescent Point Energy Corp?

It has assets outside of Alberta, has either Buy or Strong Buy recommendations from TD and RBC research. Seems to be at a low point for the price.

Q: Hi 5I: currently my portfolio holds only Canadian growth stocks. We feel that we are missing US growth, so therefore would appreciate your help. With 150K (Canadian) to invest, could you give 4 or 5 suggestions that we might enjoy the same measure of growth and dividends we get from the model portfolio.

Q: Good Morning
I was wondering what your opinion is of STB. It pays a great consistent dividend but stock price has been falling lately and I am nor sure why. Would you be a buyer or seller
Thanks

Q: Further to the question asked today by Ernest re: ipl. Is it not true that the big IF here is the alberta royalty review?
50% of the GOVT royalty revenues come from the oilsands, and 40% of ipl's revenue is from the sands. according to the RSI it is way oversold. The financial metrics according to you are
within limits, yet it won't break out of the descending triangle. If I am incorrect, what in your opinion will make it move. Thanks as
always. Sorry that I didn't put a salutation at the beginning.

Q: Hi there,

When you last referenced VGO in late May the comment was it was high risk, good potential with a high valuation given limited earnings. With it selling off below $2/share is it something you would start to see as being worth a small position for someone willing to accept risk?

Secondly, is there significant risk of concept failure here (ie it goes to zero) or is the greater risk slow progression and the need for patience before things move ahead?

Thank you for your insights.
