Investment Q&A

Q: Thank you for your answer on GS. In my portfolio I got PWF, GWO and IGM which PWF is the controlling company of the two other. They're all doing well for me. Would it be a good idea to sell GWO and IGM? I would invest the proceeds in BEP.UN and LW.

Thank you, Paul

Q: Peter and team,

I'm a new member and first off just want to say that I find the info and responses provided on the website to be awesome. Easy to understand, thoughtful but to the point. I've watched Peter on BNN over the past couple of years, and always came away impressed with what you had to say, very glad that I finally made the decision to sign up with 5i.

Enough butt kissing, my question is on Bombardier. I consider Bombardier to be a core 2-5 year holding in my portfolio (currently slightly above my equal weight of 5%). My rationale is 3 fold, 1. trading near historical lows, 2. healthy pipeline of contracts, 3. Heavy political support for the company, and aerospace industry as a whole. Having said that, its still aerospace and therefore a huge risk.

What are your opinions of this company looking out in the mid term, 2-5 years, and even the Canadian aerospace industry for that matter? Are you with this as a core holding, or recommend that I look elsewhere for my Aerospace needs (ie. your recommended MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates Ltd.)?

Thanks!

I'd appreciate your opinion on iShares S&P US Dividend Growers Index Fund (CAD-Hedged) (CUD) held in a RRSP. Is this a good ETF for U.S. exposure or are there better alternatives that are hedged to the Canadian dollar? Thanks

Q: Silver Wheaton (SLW) is taking another big hit today. Is this an opportune time to get in or do you see further weakness in the precious metals sector. Also do you see SLW as a stock to be traded or as a longer term hold. Thanks as always!

Q: Hi Peter:
My main Canadian Oil holding is Cenovus (CVE). Are there other's you like better, or because of price differentials would you recommend moving to the US for an Exxon or Chevron?
If Keystone is approved our optimism would improve,however this is likely a long shot.
Thank you for your good work (fabulous)

Currently, the highway is being re-constructed.

Q: Could I seek your wisdom on AHH-T, Aastra Tech. ? I have been watching this stock and waiting for an opportunity to get in. Now @ $18.42. As it is experiencing a down turn I have seen no news for the cause (other than market direction). Morning star shows a Intrinsic Value Estimate of $21.03.

Q: STP has had a rough couple months, startup on SAGD plants is always challenging. How are they sitting from a cash and debt coverage perspective? Is there at chance they would need to raise money again any time soon?

Q: A comment on David's averaging up on Amaya of April 12: His portfolio of 3 stocks 1 year later is minus 6% because he didn't have a stop on the one that went from 10 to 3. I might still hold the one that went from 10 to 8 but surely one should have an exit strategy to avoid the big portfolio draining losses.

Q: Is Peter Hodson answering the questions or is it some other staff member? I have been investing in stocks for over 40 years on a fairly active basis. I know that Peter Hodson knows more than I do but if he is not answering the question, maybe I know just as much or more than the person answering the question. I do have access to large amounts of research and read and understand most of it. If Peter is answering some questions, could he put his name to it. Hopefully, he is answering all of the questions but I don't think that is the case.

Q: GLV Inc. (GLV.A) The water treatment division, Ovivo, has won three major contracts worth $85 million recently. The stock is trading at $3 and has moved up from the $2.40 range a few months ago. They are not profitable yet. What is your opinion on GLV Inc.?

Q: Hi,
Your latest model portfolio has been set up in March. Since then I've noticed that a lot of your selections stock prices have increased. Do you still resommend them or should I wait for a pull back?
