Investment Q&A

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

Q: I own Bell Aliant (BA) shares but have never been involved with a a company that has been taken over before. BCE is said to be offering $31.00 per share in cash and/or BCE shares but I see that BA is trading above that. How does one go about evaluating an offer such as this? As this is in a taxable account what will the tax consequences be - should I expect BCE or BA to provide any information of guidance on the taxation issue?

Thanks for your invaluable advice.

Q: Hello Peter & Company,
I have opened a TFSA account ($20k) as a quasi savings account, which means that I may need some of the money in short notice.
I invested $5k into BA at $25.50 a share (it has a yield of 6% and fluctuates between $25 and $28); I plan to sell at around $27-$28 and buy back at around $25. Does this make sense?
If it does, are there other securities with similar characteristics? If it does not, what alternatives would you suggest?
Thanks,
Tony

Q: Hello,
In addition to a savings account, I opened a $10k TFSA to serve that same purpose; I was thinking of buying Bell Aliant.
It has traded within a range between $25 and $28 for the last 5 years; it now sits at the low end of the range.
What do you think? Could you also suggest an alternative?
Thanks,
Tony

Q: Hope your European Vacation was a sucess.
Do you know why all the shorts are piling on Bell Alliant BA.T, would this be a reason to not buy the stock, as it is nearing it,s 52 week low, the dividend and an easy capitol gain when the shorts come off,make it look enticing. Many thanks as usual.

Q: Hi, I am interested to know why Bell Aliant (BA) stock price has recently started to decline. The dividend yield is presently 7%. I have heard on business talk shows that BA might decrease their dividend. Would you at 5iResearch have any insight as to why Bell Aliant stock price is falling? Would now be a good time to sell & take a 1% loss? Thanks ... Cal
