Investment Q&A

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

Q: Bombardier has announced a conversion for shareholders who want it and are holding series 3 and series 2 shares. Series 3 will pay about 4.58% quarterly based on government bond + 145%. Series 2 is floating rate based on a percentage of prime. I currently hold series 3 with over a 20% gain. What do you recommend?

Q: Hello Peter et al,

I have had $250,000 in cash for about a year now and have recently bought LSPD, TOI and BBD near all time highs for the 3 companies i.e. approximately 40%, 40% and 20% of the portfolio. Of course since I invested in these securities, they have all declined, LSPD more than the others. I have a high risk tolerance and won’t need the money for at least 5 years. With the yields increasing, is there a higher risk of my investments tanking or should I stay invested? As always, your advice is very much appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Q: Hello,

Years ago, I used to swing trade Bombardier; recently, I looked up the ticker and was quite surprised to see it at ~$0.30 CND. Well, I am not considering betting the farm, I was wondering if this company is at risk of being delisted or considering a reverse stock split, of which I am not a fan. Or have they received a sweetheart government contract to start producing respirators and vaccines ; ) jk

Seriously though, please advise if you would touch this company with the tip of a ten-foot pole, or stay clear of it like a long term care home in Quebec.

Thanks,
