Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i,
WCP seems to be stuck in the doldrums compared to other 'similar' companies in the oil patch. Am i correct in thinking it's lagging its peers lately and, if so, do you have ideas as to why?
And do you think it might bounce - a little or a lot - anytime soon?
Thanks,
Peter

Q: It would appear circumstance for the Canadian Banks looks good for their share prices to rise. If their price increases are not due to speculations or a bubble forming but strong fundamentals, could I get your opinion of how the Canadian banks may deal with their rising share prices? Would they just let them rise until circumstances change, or would they consider splitting shares?

Q: I have enough cash to top up either KXS or DOO. Once topped up, DOO would be about 4.25% and KXS would be about 3.8%. I note that KXS is in both the Balanced and Growth portfolios, but I don't know if that should give me more confidence in the company. And in an answer to an earlier question ranking top-up order and target prices, you gave the KXS target ($300) and the DOO target ($140), but in rank top-up order DOO was #3 and the KXS order was #5. I realize I'm over thinking this whole thing, and I should just pick one because both are good companies, but I get stuck when trying to decide. Both are in TFSA, so it won't be long before I can top up with new money. But any help you can give now to un-stick me, would be much appreciated. Whichever one you pick, I will stop ruminating and act.
