Q: What do you think of Algoma Central? I like the company. They are spending money up-grading their ships and with interest rates so low that seems a smart thing to do. (The first ship will be delivered this year). The company is controlled by the Jackman family and if I understand correctly they take the road of borrowing cash instead of share dilution. With lower fuel oil prices and a reviving economy I think they should be able to hold their prices as their costs decrease. I think they are the major Great Lakes shipper so I feel it will prove difficult for competitors to undercut Algoma's prices. I have been held-up at the Hamilton Lift Bridge while their ship sailed into the inner harbour - they must be delivering iron ore to the mills. Not sure if they are a grain handler too. I suppose their balance sheet will show some debt which is going to increase as they take delivery of their new ships which will depress the stock. The stock went from $100 to $15 last year (there was a 10 for 1 split). They recently raised the dividend. Sorry for being so long winded - appreciate your thoughts.

Q: What do you think of Bonterra Energy? 3% of our liquid wealth is with Bonterra. I sort of like the company and according to the Globe it is one of 3 Oil sector companies which have managed to increase its oil (or equivalent) barrel per share over the past year. One the other hand I believe oil prices will be weak as it appears alot of production from "fracking" is coming on-stream now and in future. I think oil is down about 10% so far this year. I can break even if I sell now.

Q: Hi, Peter.
I currently own Enbridge (ENB.TO) which has a curent P/E of approximately 44 and a yield just under 3%. The P/E, although lower on forward earnings, appears to hardly qualify as a defensive stock in price. I am considering selling ENB and buying Enbridge Income Fund (ENF.TO) which shows a P/E of 17 and a yield of 5.3%. However, I noticed that GlobeInvest rates ENB 4 stars abd ENF 3 stars for safety. I assume this difference is because ENB is more oil related and ENF transports more natural gas.
How would you evaluate the swapping of ENB for ENF?
Thanks, Ed

Q: We are all throwing darts hoping for a bull’s eye or at least a decent score in the game. ATP has been a large disappointment and from the time I bought in it’s down
42% and it now twice disappointed. Notwithstanding my 5i portfolio is up over 16% in a year, not counting dividends, and had I purchased these equities the day each of Peter’s reports came out I’d be up closer to 30%.
To offset ATP, Peter on November 17 responded to a question from a member on AQN and fairly strongly endorsed Algonquin Power (AQN) . I view of this, I bought AQN and am up 20% with dividends. I know of no other service like 5i and after decades of investing I now sleep better knowing that I’m working with Peter’s guidance. My $89.00 investment in 5i has returned over 120K in a relatively short time. 9% of the equities I’ve bought have not panned out, but 91% have and, the game isn’t over yet.

Q: I own two utility stocks Fortis(FTS) and Algonquin(AQN)and am considering selling one to purchase a more economicly sensitive , growthier name. They carry about the same capital gain so that is not a consideration. The stock I keep would be a long-term core holding which I could basically hold, monitor, collect the dividend and forget about. For this reason, I am leaning toward keeping the larger cap Fortis but would appreciate your thoughts and considerations. Thank-you.

Q: hello 5i:
Regarding GCL:
wondering if your opinion has changed at all on this one ie. is it a buy, sell or hold, and what effect will the recent equity financing by the Caisse have on the company? Is the acquisition of T Lauzon a positive or a non-event.
thanks
Paul
