Investment Q&A

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

Q: I know you really like BNS but with TD at a 52 weeks low, would you pick it over BNS for a long term holding. (Building a position for dividend income)

Also, can you explain me if there is an advantage to own 2 full positions of banks vs 1 of bank and 1 of SLF (knowing that its your top insurance company pick)

Q: What do you think of Alaris quarterly report?

The numbers for 2019 look to be exceptional, however, the problems in Q1 2020 and what they might imply are difficult to ascertain. Your opinion please.

Also they expect a 10% increase in distributions. Is that distributions to them or distributions to shareholders?

Q: Are options always exercised when in the money?

i.e. I hold calls that expire in the money. Will my broker exercise them and put shares in my account? If I have no cash will they buy and sell the shares for me?

Say there are five thousand $60 call contracts in existence. Stock hits $60 at 4PM Friday. Will all 500,000 shares be called away from the writers? I have had this scenario happen to me and my shares were called away.

Thanks

Q: Could you please comment on the Q4 results reported today. The stock is down 21% from its high on Jan. 5/20 versus a 3% loss for the TSX over the same period. I know it is problematic with todays volatility and uncertainty but could you venture an opinion as to how you think this stock will do over the next 6 to 12 months versus the market in general. Thank you, Ian

Q: Been keeping an eye on the travel stocks as they get pummeled by coronavirus concerns. CCL yield becoming very attractive--do you think there is a risk of them cutting the dividend as they battle through the inevitable sales decline over the next 12-24 (?) months
