Investment Q&A

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

Q: The recent IPO for Crescent Point Energy has not sold out. The new issue was offered at $28.50 but it has been trading well below that, dropping briefly to 27.85 in intra-day trading this morning. What happens if the price remains depressed and the IPO is not successful? Will CPG re-issue the IPO at an even lower price?

Q: Having looked at the US government spending it appears that medicare, medicaid and social security are rising at a double digit pace making a balanced budget impossible. Makes sense given the baby boomer impact. But my question is, do you take this into account when assessing investment risks or do you file it away for tomorrow's worries.

Q: I have this as some portfolio diversification as a build up your portfolios. They are both ~ 2% of my portfolio. Should I take some profit, stand pat, or add these to my overall asset mix.

I don't have much international or Euro stocks except for international players from 5I.

Or switch to another product such as Vanguard or Ishares.

Cheers.

Q: Hello Peter;
I need your help rebalancing my portfolio. Using your suggested Sector weightings, I am far too high in Financials (25% v 10%) and too low in Resources (5% v 10%), Industrials ( 10% v 20%) and Utilities (0% v 5%).

In Financials, I own Bank of America (BAC); Wells Fargo (WFC); First Service (FSV); Home Capital (HCG); Brookfield Asset Man (BAM); Currency Exchange (CXI); and VISA (V).

In Resources, I own Keyera (KEY) and Inter Pipe (IPL).

In Industrials, I own Boyd (BYD.UN); CCL Ind (CCL.B); and Exco Tech (XTC).

I own no Utilities.

I am OK with my holdings and percentages in all other Sectors which are mostly mid-caps from your balanced portfolio. In your deliberations, please assume equal $ amounts in each position. Also assume a 3-5 year hold and that I am fine with moderate risk.

It looks as if I need to sell 3 Financials and with the proceeds, buy 2 Resource, 2 Industrials and 1 Utility!

I look forward to your thoughts and recommendations.

Michael

Q: Good day, with some PE ratios getting above normal levels would it be a good time to take some money out of US index funds. I have these for diversification as I am slowly acquiring 5I model portfolio and growth portfolio. It is 8% in my one account and 4% of my wife and I's total portfolio.

Q: Hello,

Wondering if you can comment on content below from Neptune's earnings release today? Do you see upside from here? It was apparently up 3.6% after hours in US market though at first glance it's hard to see the positive. I have a small position having bought just over $2 and wonder if it is a buy, sell or hold and why?

Neptune Technologies reports Q4 net loss of $10.68 mln vs loss of $1.33 mln in prior year, revs $4.02 mln vs $3.67 mln in prior year (1.40 +0.04)
Q4 adjusted gross margin was 26% vs 20% in prior year. "In line with Neptune's decision to slow production down to address product handling characteristics, consolidated sales for the first quarter ending May 31, 2015 are expected to come in at approximately $2.0 million, while the gross margin will remain under pressure. However, with the positive momentum we are seeing at the plant and a robust sales pipeline we expect sales for the second quarter ending August 31, 2015 to be materially higher."
