Investment Q&A

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

Q: Crown has announced a new LP "Capital Power LP". They have partnered (their first) with OOM Energy Group (“OOM”), a private electricity generation company who produce Integrated Energy Platforms they claim are more reliable and efficient, and cost effective than certain areas such as Ontario Hydro(not surprising). This will "provide investors with attractive, utility-like income". It all sounds good but I am worried about the competitiveness of such a partnership. Would you have any thoughts on this development?

Thank You, Stephen

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan
I owned Park Lawn for about a year and did quite well on it before selling. Interested in getting back into it. One reason I got out was bad memories of the Loewen ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Loewen ) group which I am sure you remember. I assume Park Lawn is more conservative with dept? Obviously Service Corporation is much bigger but in terms of valuation how do they compare?

Much thanks

Stuart

Q: Hello Peter, do you think the bond yield curve could invert within next 6 to 12 months? Which I believe partially explained why the U.S. financial sector has been underperforming recently, due to the worry of flatten yield curve? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan, I already own FAH.U and FIH.U. FAH is 7% below their latest financing price while FIH.U is steady with no major movement in 2018. Do you think it is good to add both for long term growth?

Q: Seems likely we’re headed for a bit more inflation. Assuming this thesis plays out, which sectors do you think should benefit and which sectors should be avoided? Are there specific companies that could benefit greatly and which companies could be badly hurt?

Q: Stantec continues to show little growth as it has over the past five years. At 1.63% it also has a meager dividend. It compares poorly to WSP over five years. Is it that WSP has better management, better mix of business, better geographical locations or some other factors? Since WSP has dropped somewhat recently, would you recommend a switch from STN to WSP at this stage or stay the course with STN? Thank you.

Q: I rarely ask a question so this is more a general question. ENB today is down 1% in Toronto on above average volume and up 1% in NY on below average volume. I would expect this to sort itself out over the day but I would like your opinion on why? I could I guess transfer my ENB.TO to my US account and get a 2% pop.
Thanks for the great service.

Q: I currently have a 1.3% holding in KWH.UN and I am wondering if I should continue to hold it in my income portion. On June 25th, in response to Eric you were "fine" with adding then on June 28th, in response to Stan, your advice was not to add. This seems a significant change in a short period of time.

Since there has been no news and the dividend was recently raised is it fair to say the price momentum has changed your mind or has the investment thesis changed?


Many thanks.

Mike
