Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am looking at adding to my holding in SJ. In your report you mentioned the 38% ownership by SJ Intl (Glasgow Scotland). Would you expect any impact on the stock price from a YES vote simply because of Scottish ownership? Given the growing strength of the US $ what impact would that have on the stock? Lastly what kind of revenue and eps growth would you see over the next couple of years.
Thanks
Mike

Q: With about a 7 year time frame before my grandchildren may need to start drawing money out of the RESP that I have for them, could you please suggest 4 or 5 stocks that don't necessarily need to "shoot the lights" out in performance but that are relatively safe and will provide an average plus return for this time period. Dividend payers/growers are fine with some added capital gains would be ideal.
Thank you.

Q: Hi guys,
I am wishing to add another position for my kids RESP. They have a 10 year time frame before the oldest may start needing the funds. Currently they hold cgx,esl,ipl,xeg,xfn,xre,xsu,mg,thi, in roughly equal parts. I am trying to balance diversification, with growth, some income and things that they may in time find interesting (thi and cgx). I am contemplating sj, key, or stn. What would you recommend or should I just keep adding to what they already have. Thank you for your help.

Q: Peter and Team,

I am in the final throws of my decision to buy some Stella Jones stock. I understand from your report that they essentially profit from constructing some of the hard assets for rail roads (amoung other pressure treated wood products for tel-cos, utilities, etc.).

Focussing in on the rail part a bit, does this mean that they should see increased business for replacement ties, etc. as rail is used more and more heavily for shipping oil? It seems like this could act like a bit of a hedge to exposure to oil pipelines.

It seems like a good business (not sexy) and required business. I'd love your thoughts on what makes this thing grow.

Thanks!
