Investment Q&A

Q: My question concerns forestry stocks. In your opinion are these really just trading opportunities or do they have a place in a buy and hold portfolio that first concentrates on income and secondarily on growth? What are your favourite forestry stocks?

Thank you

Paul

Q: In a 7 figure account that I manage I need to add a telco for about $20K. This account already has close to equal amounts of Rogers, BCE and Telus. The decision is between topping up those three or adding COG. As you know the stock has been on fire this year but why? Can you shed some light?

Q: Hi, I just read an article,that said the high price at the pumps were do to the refineries getting higher margins. If that is the case,and it is not the first time I heard this, then there must be some companies in Canada that are doing really good? The oil and gas sector has been down for years, getting impatient I guess.
I was thinking of selling my energy companies WCP,PEY&TOG and replacing them with refinery or related companies for more growth.
Do you agree with this switch, and could you name two or three stock that you could recommend.
Thanks,

Q: Hi 5i,
Just a comment. You are fond of pointing out that there are two sides to every trade but I don’t know if many people really think about what that means. Frustrated holders of ENB (how could we be anything else?) might want to take a look at a 5-year chart for TRP. TRP went through a period where it had some issues and not everything was working out perfectly for it. Even though there was never any real concern that its dividend was in danger or that its business enterprise was at significant risk, the market sold it down from $60 to $40. Sound familiar? But a quick glance now will confirm that over the most recent several months TRP has spent most of its time over $60 again and the people who bought it near $40 have made out like bandits. Do you think maybe some of them were buying ENB this week? Thanks!
