Q: With oil Storage at a premium , and contango in the futures market
is relatively strong. the value of these oil tanker companies is fairly cheap and they have been able to increase their oil storage price.
This seems to me setting up for some very profitable earnings .
If you agree which companies would you prefer in this situation ?
Thanks

Q: Hi there,

There are some high quality names that have not been beat down in the downturn (ie: KXS, DSG, CSU etc) which have not participated as much in the rebound, which makes sense - but if someone was looking for high quality names that have been beat down that would present a good entry point and a great opportunity at recovering and outperforming in a rebound, what would you recommend looking at?

Thanks!

Q: To Peter's question regarding exchanging Brookfield Infrastructure Partners Exchange LP units to BIP.UN:

I got info from BIP investors relations late last year:

1. LP units are exchangeable to BIP.UN 1:1 for 7 years,
2. The exchange is deemed disposition, i.e. taxable on gain
3. The exchange is no fee, can be done by brokerages

I emailed BIP investor's relations couple of times in the past, they are quite responsive and detail in their replies.

Hope this helps.

Q: Hi. I see in many responses related to Canadian banks that when you reply that you prefer bank a, b, c over bank X, is the a, b, c in order of preference? Sometimes the order changes from different responses.
Would you be able to list the Canadian banks in order of preference for a 5-10 year hold. I understand that in 6 or 12 months the order may change, but I'm looking today what it would be. Thanks

Q: A few days ago BRF.PR.E was recommended on BNN as a candidate for both a good capital gain and at the time a 7.5% yield. It promptly got a 20% hike in price and now yields 5.8% and has returned to it's normal trading level . So I missed that little opportunity. But as I don't have any fixed income it made me have a look around for other beat up preferreds where I discovered another Brookfield product BAM.PR.B down in price and currently yielding 8.8% .BAM.PR.B is a floating rate preferred and I was unable to find out which kind BRF.PR.E is. I don't really understand which type of preferred is more desirable than others but I do have faith in Brookfield getting through this mess maintaining the dividends on their preferred shares. Please explain the desirability of one over the other of these two preferreds ? There is a considerable difference in both their highs in price and current yield . Thank you for your guidance through these tough market times.

Q: I am looking to up my sector allocation in both Consumer Cyclical and Financials. I am a growth investor with time.

Can you provide two recommendations for each today. I need help identifying these based on the market situation and what you can perceive the future to be like with respect an entry point into your recommendations!

Thanks for the help.
