Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have $20,000 to invest outside of an RRSP/TSFA/RESP. looking at a 3-5 year timeline. Obviously tax is a consideration so would assume a couple of decent Canadian dividend paying stocks would fit the bill. I'm 20 years from retirement. I would look to buy 1/3 positions now and see if the market bottoms before I dive right in.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts/insight

Q: When does FIH.U report ? And if I'm not mistaken the last quarter loss was largely due to the completion of the Bangalore airport purchase. Will there be further repercussions in this quarter from the purchase or are they back on track to earnings from the various entities they own ? Also US policy is hammering third world currencies. Does 5I see further erosion in the value of the Indian rupee in the near future ?
Thanks Garth

Q: I am a retired, conservative, dividend income investor and have 1/2 to 2/3 positions in each of these securities. I trim-add to my stocks when my asset allocation needs adjusting (recently topped up BCE, BNS). I am considering topping up these 4 stocks, but am fully aware that Tax Loss Selling Season will soon be in full swing. Having said that, all 4 of these stocks have already been beaten up a fair bit.

I know you are NOT a market timer, but does your crystal ball foresee further downside as we work our way through the next 2 months of Tax Loss Selling? Using TCL as an example, you just added 1% to your position. I am sure you must have had quite an internal 5iR discussion about "when" to add that position vs. your 10% cash position at that time and the need to deploy some of it. OR...is it as simple as...this stock has been beaten up so much, it has excellent value now, we know we can't time the bottom, so let's just buy it now?

Thanks...Steve

Q: Hi, I am looking for dividend paying stocks that also have the most upside share price potential in both the short and long term. Could you rate the above, best to last, and if you have any other suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated.
I am not overly concerned with sector allocation.
Many thanks.
