Q: I have been dabbling with momentum investing recently after reading endorsements of a 70% value 30% momentum approach. I haven't been able to find too many concrete details on momentum process, mostly vagaries. So far, I have been keeping things simple - buying names with reasonably good fundamentals and strong momentum over the last 6 or so months and riding the momentum until 10 day SMA crosses below 30 SMA. The results have been mixed so far, I reckon I've come out about even. Does this approach seem more or less sound based on your experience? Are there other details you might include in the process (i.e. absolute loss limit in addition to SMA trigger)? Finally, how to stick to the process when markets are in a down trend (i.e. very few stocks have good performance in last 6 months) -- I assume it's important to stick with the process to catch momentum when it turns.

Q: CXR has lots of headwinds (brexit, pricing environment, debt levels, questions about their business model, etc). if debt level is one of the biggest headwinds the company faces, and current cash flow will take years to pay down debt, is it possible the company issues shares, even at this really reduced price, to pay down debt?

Q: Hello, I was looking at entering a position in Terra Nitrogen Co (TNH) which produces nitrogen fertilizer products. It has a pretty good dividend and seems to be very undervalued. Also it seems to excel across most metrics (ROIC, ROA, etc).

A few reservations is that the gross margin is slowly decreasing over the past 5 years and that it is a master limited partnership. Is this different tax wise if I buy this through my RRSP account?

I already hold Agrium and wanted to also get into TNH for the dividend and valuation.

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Andrew
