Investment Q&A

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

Q: Peter & Team ;
Would appreciate your thoughts re longer term safety of distributions and financial strength of Artis Reit (AX.UN)(assuming we get increasing interest rates and ultimately a recession).
Average term to maturity of mortgages is only 4.4 years .
Would not consider buying until after rates move up some ,price goes down and yield goes up (willing to let train leave without us).

Q: This is a question about a future company that's being created. It's a low-cost airline that's coming up called JetLiner. Details here: http://jetlines.ca/news.html

In the article it mentions that Inovent is going to do a reverse take-over and then JetLiner is able to become a publically traded company.

My questions are:
(1) what do you think of the business model of JetLiner and can it be successful in an tough airlines environment
(2) based on the deal with Inovent, is it a good stock to participate in the IPO?

Q: I have a full position in Russel Metals that includes a 25% gain, and I have a half position in Stella Jones that involves a 5% loss since purchase. I'm thinking of taking half off RUS and topping up SJ as it is cheaper on a PE basis and perhaps RUS has topped here. Would you make this move now, or after SL earnings, or not at all?

Q: Am I correct in assuming that the price of Bell Aliant (BA) continues, and will continue, to fluctuate because of the underlying share price of BCE, since BCE shares are part of the buyout package?

Secondly, as I own BA in a taxable account, is it best to continue to hold BA and wait until the deal closes in order to collect the higher BA dividend as well as get BCE shares on a tax free basis? (I am assuming that the BCE shares coming to me will be tax-free).

Thanks for the continued wonderful service.

Q: We have been holding ZWB and ZWA for income in RRIFs and non registered accounts. I am considering replacing these with individual securities for ZWB and possibly ETF,s for US exposure. (ZWA) Any suggestions? We hold BNS and most securities in both 5 I portfolios. We also have CIQ.UN in all portfolios but TFSA's. Soon there is an option to redeem at NAV (an annual feature) I am thinking of redeeming and concentrating on 5i portfolios. Any thoughts. Thanks for all that you have done for us. I am waiting for the day 5i will critique our portfolios.

Q: Hi Peter, From the sale of our house, we have quite a chunk of money that we need to put somewhere while we decide what to do. Where would you suggest parking this money for 2-3 months, keeping it relatively accessible, while we scout for longterm investments? Thanks!

Q: Hi, I know you don't cover this junior I'm just wondering if you have any insights on Elgin Mining (ELG) that's being bought out @ 0.37 cash but its trading @ 0.42. It looks as though both parties are liking it but why the trade up? I can't find anything saying the transaction is negative by management or shareholders, lawsuits etc. Should I continue to hold for a better offer?
