Investment Q&A

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

Q: According to an article in the Globe, HBC has real estate assets estimated at $30/share. Would this satisfy the value investor thought on buying something for $0.50 that is worth $1.00? What are your thoughts currently on HBC and if held for 5+ years, do you think the real estate will be restructured as a REIT?

Q: Hello Peter,
I have small amount of cash left in my TFSA. My current stock holdings are FFH, GIB.A, GUD, SJ, and DEE (less than 1 percent). I would like to deploy it with the hope of a good pop in one of the three stocks 2-5 year timeframe. Which one would make the most sense (HBC, GS or POT)? Much appreciated. Thank you in advance for this reply and other detailed explanations you have provided in the past.

Q: I have searched through the archives before posing this question, and found you haven't commented on this one since last April. I am interested in finding out more salient information on Hudson's Bay Company in Canada (HBC on the TSX). With its merger with Saks -- and with Bonnie Brooks at the helm -- does this company have a chance of rising to the forefront of Canadian retail? Does it have any hope of developing into something like a Michael Kors?

It certainly doesn't seem to have floundered since its IPO last year, but instead continues to chug along slowly, with a very modest 1.9% dividend yield. Mind you, a dividend of any kind is a good start for an IPO, and so am wondering about things like cash flow, its debt ratio, and what kind of profits would be likely in this company?

I'm not "pulling the trigger yet" -- it's a company I've been watching for about 6 months -- so I would value your opinion on this company before I make a decision.

Thank you.
