Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am looking at Stantac and Aecon with a view to purchase one of these two stocks. I have looked at various metrics and find it hard to see where one would have the edge over the other. Could you please tell me which you would favour of these two stocks and why, especially with regards to the current and likely economy going forward over the next two years. Thank you for your terrific advice as always.

Q: Yesterday Bellatrix BXE announced that it had completed a BOUGHT deal to sell about 25 million shares at $9.75 and that the lead underwriter was Canaccord. Today the sale has been downsized to 15million shares and has been repriced to $9.50. When is a bought deal not a bought deal? It seems to me that the underwriter takes no risk if he can change the terms of the deal the next day.
This makes this transaction more like a "best efforts " deal and not a bought deal. Could BXE not have insisted that the original terms be adhered to, at least in terms of the pricing?
What do you make of it and does this undermine your confidence in the company and alter your opinion as to whether it is a good investment?
Thanks Mike

Q: I have ENB.PR.N-T at 4% reset in 2017. My question is how to decide when to sell preferred shares.
Similar preferreds have come available with a higher Dividend. I would sell Enb. as it is above its $25 issue, and pick up the newer issue with 5 years to go. Or could you direct me to a website that could enlighten me on buying and selling preferrers.
Thanks for the great work you and your team do, I have found it very helpful in confirming some of my purchases.
Thanks Jack

Q: Hi team:
I am aware that Peter put alot of weight in fundamentals of a company/stock before a recommnedaton is being made
I was watching the market call on BNN recently, and the comments was made re: utilities tend to do well in the summer
I do have FTS and EMA and CU and would not hesitate to add more
Is there any particular reason from a seasonal or fundamental point of view to support this trend ?
(I do have some ZUT in my RRSP as well),
many thanks !

Q: It has been over six months since your last comments on AC.B. I'd be interested in whether or not you view has changed since last October. Yesterday I sold half of our holdings (purchased at under $5). That of course, resulted in a jump of 3.6% today.

Q: Hello, could I please have a brief assessment of Richards packaging RPI.un. Thank you
Read Answer Asked by Adam on May 29, 2014
Q: ITP/RPI.UN/WPK Packaging stocks. Read your report on WPK and B+ rating. Unfortunately I do not own WPK but do own RPI.UN and ITP. RPI has not disappointed and on a one year return matches WPK -- throw in the divvy for more! ITP has been disappointing. Considering a large profit/ healthy weighting in RPI, a loss/ smaller weighting in ITP. I imagine I see more upside to ITP over the other two. Setting aside the dividend consideration where do you see the most upside of these 3 stocks?

Q: WN: this stock has been doing down a fair bit over the last little while & I was wondering why? Is it to do with their large purchase of a US baker or what? I would like to buy for the long term and have been watching it ready to buy at some point for a good price-I'd love to see a further drop before buying to $75 or so.
