Investment Q&A

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

Q: I noticed that ZCL price fell from 11.50 to 11 late yesterday afternoon on a large trade volume just a couple of hours before the quarterly report was released. Seems a bit fishy.Is it possible that there was some "leakage" of information. Is this something that securities commission would look into, or is it just too small for them to bother?
It is now down some more to 10.75.
On a related matter, what is your opinion of the quarterly results and the resultant drop in share price - is it overblown? Is it a buying opportunity?

Q: Thanks for clarifying the debt repayments. I should have also asked what the total debt is now for the company. I know that the company said reducing debt would be a focus for them going forward. Did they speak specifics in their conference and do you consider the repayment schedule to be reasonably aggressive?

Thanks for the insight.

Q: I just received news that the agreement between Glencore and NIF.UN will be renewed for another five years. However, "With the renewal of the Supply and Processing Agreement, the main challenge now facing the Fund will be to continue to operate its Processing Facility at a profit once market terms take effect May 3, 2017. The Fund’s Board of Trustees is mindful of the expected negative impact that the transition to market term pricing will have on the Fund’s operations, including its ability to sustain its distribution policy. The Board of Trustees is carefully reviewing the Fund’s reserves and will augment the reserves if necessary." Whatis your view on NIF.UN?

Q: Could you comment on DH's debt position? You reported that they paid down $200m of debt in the last quarter whereas I read elsewhere they paid down $20 million so I am wondering where the typo lies. Given their recurring income streams, I would think paying off $800m of debt annually would leave them in pretty good stead.

Thanks for your help.

Q: As a newer subscriber to 5i, i am interested in purchasing your BE portfolio. The above names have had huge run ups and I don't know how to approach them. Which ones are buyable at these levels?
Of the ones you deem buyable, can you comment, for each, as to whether a half position or full position should be taken.
And can you rank these in terms in terms of your preferences at current levels?

Thank you for your excellent service, as always.
