Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have held TFI for the past 2 years or so and watched it go from above $30 to below $20 and now back to above $26. Despite its recent substantial rise, I am thinking it should be expected to level off until the economy in general improves. I am therefore considering a switch here to EIF to take advantage of the higher dividend and perhaps a better growth profile. Would you view this as a reasonable switch or would it be best to stay with TFI or is there another company in the Industrials you would consider switching to (I already own NFI).

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Please give me your opinion on the following exchange offer I received in the mail today. P & G is offering to convert each dollar value of their common stock into $ 1.075 worth of Galleria Company stock. Galleria Company is then going to merge with a sub of Coty corporation called Green Acquisition Sub Inc. It will be called Galleria company and will be a sub of COTY. It appears the company is spinning off their beauty division.

Many Thanks

Paul

Q: I'm exploring the possibility of a half position in GEI. Where does Gibson go from here? Is the company in a position to pick up quality assets during this time of consolidation because of low oil prices? Is there any reason why the dividend will be reduced in the short term?

Many thanks, and keep up the good work,
EOS

Q: Currently gold is about 2% of my holdings. Half is TMAC, the rest split between Osisko and Roxgold. The miners are both in advanced pre-production.

I am looking to go overweight gold for the next 4-5 months. Possibly as high as 12-15%. I think seasonality may get a boost from India, whose markets and monsoon have been very good this year. And I want TTT (Trump Temper Tantrum)insurance in place well before Nov 8.

Can you put fwd a short list of producers and royalties that you think would do best in a rising price environment in that time frame. (Please note, ROX's asset is in Burkina Faso, where most of SMF's are.)

Thank You for this and all your other fine work,

Tim

Q: Peter, I've read a couple of recent positive recommendations on Cascades. I just sold my Teck at a tidy profit (it was hard to resist after being down over 80% earlier this year!) but this leaves me with very little in the way of materials. Do you think CAS is a decent decision for a long-term TFSA hold? Would you still prefer Boralex, despite its climb? Or would you have another 'growthy' option for this part of my portfolio. Thanks!
