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 never owned RIM or Blackberry. For years it has had ugly price movements and negative news. Today I quickly read a document from Citron Research which is surprisingly positive. I really like the idea of buying a stock that the "Wall-street shorts" like, since they've proven to be quite effective. It talks about its non-blackberry products and divisions and speculates that they are well-positioned to sell to the auto-industry. It mentions their acquisition of QNX, a microchip and operating systems company located in Ottawa last I checked. Can you read their article and tell us what you think of it?

Q: Always a nice surprise from Brookfield, to find a new stock dividended-out into your portfolio. I see that it's a global (re)insurance company, or looking for global opportunities at least. When BAM dividends out small quantities, prices to tend to drop as they get sold out of portfolios. Assuming that happens in this case, is this a reasonable opportunity to purchase more, to build it into a small position? Is there a projected dividend pay-out that you can see?
Thanks very much...

Q: Do you think it's necessary to hold both US and Canadian utilities in a diversified portfolio? I'd like to add to both my non-Canadian position and utilities, so XLU seems like a good way to kill two birds. I currently don't hold any Canadian utility companies.

Q: I hold AQN and have been very happy with it, but a proposed amendment to the share unit plan has me concerned. The proposal is that the maximum number of shares "available for issuance from treasury upon the vesting of the performance share units and restricted share units outstanding be increased from a fixed maximum of 500,000 common shares" to 7,000,000 shares. Based on the total shares out there, is the current 500,000 low by industry standards, or is the proposed 7,000,000 high. Insiders are proposing this, and I assume that only insiders would benefit from it. Could you provide your views on this proposal.
Thank-you
