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 took this company out of your growth portfolio, but since the US election this stock is been going up. I went onto there web site and listened to the Bloomberg and Bnn interviews and i love what they are doing, they seem to be light years ahead of conventional construction, and this has to be the future. With 80 % of there business in the USA and expanding around the world, would this not qualify as a good growth company for a long term hold. Do you ever put companies back in the growth portfolio after removing them?
Thanks once again.

Q: Good afternoon:
I am underweight in pure utility equities and would like to add. My primary holding is AQN with a lesser position in EMA. Would you recommend switching EMA to FTS and then adding to that position. Or do you consider that unnecessary?
Thank you for your advice.

Q: I currently have HCG and WCP in the "explore" portion of a LIRA and they are both nearing break-even after holding for a relatively long period. 85% of the account is in a "core" mix of low-cost CDN, US, and Global EFTs. The remaining 15% is split evenly between HCG, WCP, and SIS. Wondering if I should sell these two positions now that they are back to my ACB and if so, what two alternatives would you recommend from a growth perspective over the next 3-5 years?

Q: Good Morning: I hold a very small position in Enghouse and am considering an addition of shares. Your last report was in 2015 when everything seemed rosy but 2016 has seen some challenges emerge. From the Q&A section of your website I get the sense that you are still basically positive about the company. Is it your opinion that they will be able to successfully continue their acquisition strategy and who do you see as their major competitors in this area? As always, thanks for your help. Don

Q: Hello 5i
Thanks for the service.

Checking in on a 5i current viewpoint for Timbercreek Financial.
I hold it after the merger of their two entities and really like the current 7.8% yield as income flow to Portfolio.
There has been lots going on related to interest rates and new entrants to potentially compete against TF.
Would you please offer you comments about continuing to hold this security and whether you consider any risk growing; price level and ongoing distribution?


Thanks
Dave

Q: Had a very satisfactory 2016 with a combined increase in both cash & RIF accounts of 9.3%. However, TFSA has been a disaster. Initially in 2009 bought CPH & stupidly watched it run up & then way down before I dumped it for a large loss. Bought AD (second time) at around 23 - watched it climb to 31 & then crash. Sold it at $18+. I know - it's now climbing back nicely but I want to start a-fresh. Don't need the income - just lots of growth. Looking at SHOP & other similar opportunistic potentials. Your suggestions please. Thank you

Q: Hello Peter and gang.

I read your year end review and suggestions about investing in healthcare as a theme for 2017. I'm very much an income oriented investor. I'm interested in Medical Facilities Corp. Would you say this company falls under the category of healthcare? Also what's your overall view of this company.

Thanks

Nicholas

Q: Hello Peter, I'm looking for a solid, long-term, US investment for my RRSP. Ford is yielding almost 4.8% with a very low P/E. Metlife is yielding around 3% with a P/E around 17. Which of these two would you favour for a decent 'sleep at night' long term hold and for a better result? Also, which US company in the military/defence area might you currently favour? Thanks!

Q: Greetings!
Enghouse appears to be not a favorite tech stock for investors inspite of satisfactory performance year over year. I hold around 10% of this stock bought around $55 in my TFSA and see the price and volume of trade showing no sign of recovery. would you suggest to book loss and trim the holding? Thank you in advance.
