Investment Q&A

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

Q: These companies represent 17% of my portfolio, with ENB and NPI positions being 3.5% each and the remaining approx 2 % each. Recently stock prices of several of these have increased 10 % or so.

Should I adjust any of these positions?

Without really knowing the remainder of my account, what percent in utilties would be suitable for a ten year horizon?

Q: Dear Sirs,
I posed a question recently regarding the new issuance of debt by Great Canadian Gaming ( 5 1/4% Dec/2026) and was directed to the archive. I have found commentary on the company, but nothing specific to this debt issuance and your view of this particular instrument as an investment. Your analysis would be most appreciated.

With thanks.

Q: Another solution for Kyle is to give trading authority on that account to a Canadian resident before leaving the country. The Canadian can then place orders via telephone still at a discount rate. That is the practice at one major brokerage; I have found that practices and rules can vary widely even among major brokerages.

Q: TFI International has indicated it will be offering 6 million shares for public offer.
Am I correct in assuming it will be at a discount to current market price which will put some short term downward pressure on the stock price?
If this is correct would it be prudent to sell now before the price is announced and buy back in when the "expected" downward pressure comes into play?
Thanks
John
