Investment Q&A

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

Q: Peter and Ryan,
Do you have any concerns with Enbridge? My advisor called today saying he heard that they are not putting as much oil though their pipelines these days. He also mentioned that there might be a dividend cut with their high debt. I have owned the shares for about 5 years and have a nice gain on the price, but being older I like being able to collect the dividend for a long time yet. Enbridge is a 6% weighting in my portfolio at the moment.

Thank you,
Charlie

Q: I'm in the process of ranking tax loss candidates and try to decide between DH and AD which one has a better chance to show signs of life before 2016 YE.

I'm leaning towards DH only for the reason it's seemingly under certain manipulators' control (based on the hard drive downwards trade actions of late) and unless they turn out to be like what you said "short sellers are not god, they can loss money too"). AD is a "show me" story, but can they do a turn around by Q3?

Your assessment will help greatly in my decision. Thanks.

By the way no more use of stop losses for me. I foolishly lost EIF and I'm buying it back at a premium today. Another lesson learnt at a high tuition. LOL.

Q: Good day 5i. SJ @ 44.37

Considering adding SJ soon. Would like your thoughts on concrete ties potentially hurting them. I read a couple of articles including this one that indicates concrete ties last longer, may be more environmentally friendly and are much more common in Europe and Asia

Q: I seem to have been afflicted with the same problem other members have experienced. This is my third question, previous two have gone unanswered. I know my question credits are sufficient and your site confirms the question has been sent. Have you identified why this is happening?

My last question related to the most recent conference call with Kinaxis management. There was frequent reference to an inflection point and I am wondering what this is and how it would relate to the company's prospects.

Q: Hi 5i,
Although they have both been good investments, it seems that since 2010 BIP units have outperformed BEP units by a decent margin. Are the profit margins lower in BEP's focus area or is there something about the energy project investment arc that delays returns in the renewable energy space? I'm wondering what the BIP unit outperformance is attributable to and whether it is a factor that is likely to continue or whether, in the future, BEP is more likely to keep pace, or even to do a little catch-up. I'd be interested in any thoughts you may have on this. Thanks!

Q: I have a small (1%) position in Solium and am up modestly. I was pleasantly surprised at the modest share price bump after the poor Q2/1H earnings. Perhaps the market is looking at the improved topline and giving the company time to convert that to a better bottom line. However, I'm thinking of selling SUM and buying more GUD, which is also a small position. I could also keep SUM and just add to GUD. Could you provide an outlook on SUM for the next 2-3 years and the relative merits of these two? Thank-you.

Q: I have owned EDR since well before the 2008 downturn and kept it. It has turned around and it is now well above what I paid. I am interested in investing more in gold/silver would like your opinion on whether to buy more EDR or is there a better growth play in silver/gold. I have also owned Goldcorp for several years and am still a bit under water with it. I value your opinion. Thanks
