Investment Q&A

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

Q: Vince Martin, in an article on Seeing Alpha, wrote an extensive article on TSGI as "Cheap for a reason". One main point is they think Stars overpaid for Sky. That acquisition delivered a huge profit about the time of the purchase, and the acquisition would have been profitable if that were normal profit. However government is increasing their take and according to the report, ongoing profits will be challenged to repeat. Have you seen this report, and what do you think? Vince also said that the PE of competitors is also low right now, so they don't compare favorably with the competition.

Q: Hi, Recent pre release took many of us by surprise. We are reviewing our portfolio position in Savaria (Currently 3.75%). For a Balanced Growth and Income portfolio, you have indicated in a recent response, the right weighting as 2-2.5%. But, 5i Balanced portfolio has 4.24 % weight presently (reduced from 4.5 to 5% earlier due to price decline).
Is your response based on the recent pre announcment of their results ? Are you recommending that we reduce our holding to recommneded weight, all else being same as Balanced Portfolio ? If so, when do you plan to make the change?
Thanks

Q: The fixed income portion of my portfolio is largely made up of high yield corporate Canadian bonds. Infrequently, during the past decade or so, a company will exercise its right to "call" one of my bonds, and an early redemption occurs. This past week, however, a high number of companies have called their bonds, many to be redeemed next month. The companies include Parkland Fuel, Russel Metals, Cascade, Air Canada, Superior Plus, Laurentian Bank, Sobeys, Cameco and Brookfield Asset Management. I am very puzzled as to why so many different bonds are being called at the same time? I also want to endorse a recent comment made by Lance about Hank Cunningham's book, which as very helpful in my early bond-investing days.

Q: Hi there,
I use VectorVest which is great for a lot of things but it does not allow to sort/filter based on RSI. I can't find a function anywhere that allows me to identify the most oversold stocks (aside from the Globe's once a week article). Do you know of a tool that can be used to sort and identify stocks based on RSI?

Thanks!
