Investment Q&A

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

Q: All the talking heads on BNN say sell your utility,telcos,banks and Reits-and buy what? If you are retired like me and don't mind volatility-they never < dividends during the worst financial crisis ever & telcos are planning to > dividends -eg. T why would you do that if you want mostly TSX exposure (pref. tax treat). I have some USD exposure in companies like J&J, MSFT (up nicely), MO, GE, KFT etc-held for over 4 yr.

Q: Hi Peter,
Any thoughts on BlackPearl's (PXX) decsion to defer their $350 million term loan for the Onion Lake thermal project due to the volatile debt markets? I see they had a positive announcement though on the Blackrod pilot production and cashflow. New 52 week low , looks like a good entry point perhaps? Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i Team,
On a question re: CLC you stated:
"CML is still paying one dividend. However it went ex-dividend yesterday, but anyone buying yesterday will get a $0.135 dividend."

My understanding of Ex-Dividend is different and found this online:

The ex-dividend date is the date on which investors are cut off from receiving a dividend. If, for example, an investor purchases a stock on the ex-dividend date, that investor will not receive the dividend. This date is two business days before the holder-of-record date.

Perhaps you can clarify?
Thanks,
Ron

Q: Hi Peter - I have read that this might be a good time to buy forestry stocks. Am just wondering if you agree with this and if so are there any specific companies you would suggest. Thanks.

Q: CLC was sold at $10.75 a share. It is currently trading at less than that. If I simple hold on to my shares until the deal finalizes in September, will I receive the full $10.75 per share automatically?

Q: It looks like Paladin Energy is getting hit because of their delay in announcing their strategic initiative, which I assume was meant to help their balance sheet. Any thoughts? Could this company conceivably go bankrupt before the improvement in uranium prices?
