Investment Q&A

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

Q: With the nice selloff in LND from 24c to 17c, would you consider the current price a reasonable entry point? One of my concerns are the warrants outstanding, which may put pressure on the shares. Your thoughts?

I have done some due diligence, and believe the business model to be quite attractive.

Q: Would you please clarify your view that First National's (FN) payout ratio is 100%? In today's quarterly report, FN states that "on an after tax, pre-FMV basis", the payout ratio was 62% and was down from 67% in the same quarter of 2014. Also, what is FMV?

Q: Looks like the market is not satisfied with the lack of clarity from PHM regarding insider selling. Do you view this as an overreaction and an opportunity to purchase or a wait and see?

Q: Further to Paul's MISC question; What is the best way to rebalance? A simple calendar approach? If so how often? At one extreme, one could rebalance daily, but incur heavy transaction fees and possibly sell one's winners way too early.

At the other extreme, one could rebalance annually, or some longer period. Transaction fees would be minimised. But this approach might miss cycle tops (and bottoms).

If a calendar approach is not used, then how is discipline maintained?

Q: Hello folks:

1. I know predicting interest rates has become a dangerous activity now a days. Rate hike prediction hasn't materialised but instead we got Poloz's rate cut.

2. Through my Scotia itrade I get IPO offers for preferred shares. Yesterday I got one from BMO Perpetual preferred share 5 % and one from Canadian Utilities 5.25 %

Worth buying? Of course one can only express an interest and one is not guaranteed to get the shares.

There seems to be a shift from Rate reset to Perpetual Preferred shares recently. At least that is my perception. Furthermore the new issues, (at least on Scotia iTrade platform) are sold out within a day! Especially the issues by Big Banks and solid Canadian companies. Any reason why? Does it mean the smart money is hungry for a solid 5 % yield?

Q: Peter
Any thoughts on its extensive fall recently? It can't all be related to oil sector can it? Is it a 'keeper'? Thanks

Q: Hi,
Could I have your opinion on the deal between SVL and FR. I have been holding SVL for a while and am down quite a bit. Should I sell into the strength or hold on.
Thanks, Irshad.
